VH - On another note, I do not believe nor subscribe to the thinking of an Ultimate Love for there exist no such thing. In one lifetime, we will experience many loves, each different, each a contributing part, each satisfying and highly enlightening. No one should be more than the other and they were, each and every one of them love, neither greater or lesser, simply are.
This is the only thing I disagree with you on.
Love for God, love for my family and then all else. I also do believe in having a shot at true love, just that it's not guaranteed. Only thing that is guaranteed is the level of work and opportunity you need with another person to be able to find that state.click to expand

I am kinda lost with all your idealistic ideas 🙂. I prefer to go with my gut instinct without philosophizing too much. I don't want to be a buzz killer, but being in love is not enough. Being compatible with the person is equally important.

Does anyone really know that though? To me "knowing" something inevitably means being closed off. Since we close ourselves off to the unknown, which pretty much impedes love imo.
My godmother once told me "we always end up choosing to fall in love with the stupidest relationships" and that strikes me as one of the few truths that had stood the test of time. Not to say stupid is bad or good. Just that we are human.
I think that's just it and I hope the point I made substantiates that. Falling in love with the expectation causes that in my opinion.
I want to love a person, not an idea.
We are human, thus we love as humans. Not as a super-universal, ethereal being of pure light.

I'm actually about to fall asleep if I don't have a kebab. It's been a long two days. Be good to yourselves in the meantime.
And Lady Scorp you should definitely write books, if you don't already. Not necessarily because of your Merc in Libra words, but because you portray conflict within them very vividly. It's very sincere. Which is what I meant by the funny thing of preserving privacy when your character shines through larger than most regardless.
Also VH and Lady Scorp have a good chemistry. I don't mean in any particular way. Take it how you want. Just good to see.

I think there is an ultimate love, but I think that we have to get past the "romanticism" of what we think is love. What you described before sounds more like the ultimate love where you are so connected or so many levels that not even words have to be spoken. Like you said it takes a lot of time with someone to get there. The problem is that so many of us want these things instantly, but do not want to really put in the work to attain it. Love is never ending. So you always have to work at it because the human in us will come out to disrupt it. Whether intentional or not.click to expand

Also 911, when you say "love is not enough" is there any specific experience that makes you say that? I am not going to be playing devil's advocate or arguing the reverse. Just intrigued to hear, since I once used to say that and know the feeling. And I've seen pretty much everyone I know find themselves in a space where they say those exact words. I am wondering what is the experience and feeling behind that. For me it was because of experiencing a breakup with my ex girlfriend where she used to say that all the time until I just started believing it.
I had only one experience like this, but somehow it worked for a few years, just because of that "in love" factor. There was incompatibility because of the difference in character and while love is there, you tolerate it. Once is gone (and incompatibility can kill this feeling), you start to see all the negatives that causes you even more stress than before. I believe that once that honeymoon phase is over, the reality kicks in, and the more incompatible you are, the worst chance you will have to keep the relationship going.
I have a lot of friends who married out of love (as it should be) with partners they don't have much in common. I had an opportunity to witness the intense love in the beginning, and the hatred at the end. It is unbelievable how much incompatibilities can be disguised by love, but it can't last for long. Eventually the differences will come outclick to expand

Nothing worthwhile or true will come with work put forth and effort. We reap what we sow, any expectations on our part, to be given, handed to us, such gift is utter absurdity and ignorance. If it were instant, we would not appreciate it, only once have we put in our sweat and blood, do we take a step back to admire what we have but attained and created.

Haha, tiz I wish I could disagree or agree but frankly I am still on my journey, therefore hard for me to define it as such.
Attempted to do so in the past but then it got me nowhere. Although by Ultimate Love, one does no mean True Love, what I meant is a Love that is the Ideal Pedestal, the one and only. That I could not for the life of me subscribe to, that there will only be one, for each love we encounter will be true to a certain extent, because each love we nurture, we were a different individual, at various points within our lives. They were each true to us then, and the love in which I speak of was in regards to romantic love, not 'love' as a general concept.
That's cool. To be quite frank I still think we are just plain in disagreement on how we see that. I say that just to say that I respect your journey and I don't have any of the answers myself. Just because I believe in true love, what's true is I believed I haven't attained it. So, it is what it is. It could take a lifetime.
But when it comes to giving value to all experiences and that, honestly I don't feel the need to remain open or accountable or even acknowledge all my experiences. A lot of them have faded with memory and I've paid all my dues. The only value I attribute is to being accountable to God and my family. Just because that's what gives me direction. If I were to tell myself all my experiences hold value in being equal, I personally wouldclick to expand
You are lucky that experience fades, my super computer of a mind carries within it, an elephant memory which rarely forgets though filed away. Although it does allow for one to have a stunning catalogue to refer back upon should one wish to put for an article for one to mull over, drawing new conclusions.
Ay, I suppose we each have the best of our own individual worlds and style s, in ways I envy yours, but grass is always greener on the other side 🙂

Don't women love potential in general? I've never outright seen a woman fall for someone based on who they are. Normally when they've accepted them and see no more room for potential, that's when the love dies. Happens to all middle aged couples I know. It's always the woman that talks about "the passion is gone, thank god we are still friends" whereas the man has nothing to say really.

"But honestly anytime i've called it quits on a relationship it had more to do with the fact the woman I was with stopped being someone I enjoy spending my time with. She became annoying or just a downright pain to be in the same room with."
Do you think this was due to lack of chemistry? Maybe it has to do something with what I mentioned before. Incompatibility :/

So now after seeing that 911, do men actually fall in love or is it the respect for them that they need to have for that woman?

Yeah perhaps you are right. Like I was saying to TLS earlier, I've forgotten most of that. Mainly because I allowed myself to. So it must have been infatuation. Because the love I feel for things now, like even just my career or some of my friends... but including the person I love now.... it doesn't compare. Can't even remember what I was doing before.click to expand

May be she was in love with the potential Tiz and when you weren't that in her opinion she started to nag and whatever to make you that person you weren't which to you was nerve racking.
You are more than likely right. And like 911 says, we were never going to be the people to make one another happy. Sometimes you meet someone that "moves" you and even if the emotion is shitty, you still attribute "meaning" to that relationship. Forgetting that the point of a relationship is to actually work towards enjoying yourself and being happy, supportive. I wasn't a supportive person, I can say that much.click to expand

You weren't supportive at all, not even in the beginning?
Let's say I was supportive in the way I believed support was meant to be given, but that wasn't the type of support she needed. And even when she asked me, I didn't care to change enough. I had my own priorities and she was not high enough on that list to want to do that. In fairness to her, she recognized that long before I did.
Also in fairness to the both of us, we went through a lot of outside influences that break anyone. Deaths in the family, losing a child, all these things happening at exactly the wrong time. A lot of changes are out of anyone's control.click to expand

That's true. I don't know though... on some very basic things it was clear I did not care enough to change.

Yeah there was definitely no strong foundation there Curious. But these kind of things have brought marriages down. I don't think it would have been something to be controlled or be prepared for. It sounds funny but one of the days I was able to let go and move past all that was when I was driving in the rain and heard Frank Lampard had divorced with his wife over the radio, due to the death of his mother some years back bringing differences between them.
I sat there thinking if this guy with millions, a home and a wife can't survive that kind of thing then let's not be arrogant and blame ourselves for things that are simply beyond our control.
