Are love,emotional support, companionship,time,friendship CONSIDERATION for promise of loving always IN COURT?

SOME GIRL says her some BOY FRIEND(both live in **INDIA**) that


she loves him,she'll marry him %26amp; always love him in her whole life.


In consideration of this PROMISE of her HE gives her


1-his love


2-his time %26amp; friendship


3-his emotional support


4-his companionship


5- general guidance,advises %26amp; suggestions


But after 1 year of affair she says that it was her mistake ..she don't love him, won't love him %26amp;won't marry him.


If that man wants to SUE her; can COURT take these all things, as consideration of promise of ''loving always %26amp; marriage'' by GIRLFRIEND in India?


Can that man LEGALLY force her to continue loving ,meeting ,talking with him %26amp; to marry him because he has given above mentioned considerations in past for her promise?


What punishment (jail or fine) can be given to her by COURT of laws for BREACH OF TRUST in India?

Are love,emotional support, companionship,time,friendship CONSIDERATION for promise of loving always IN COURT?
In India any forms of love is taboo but, this is the weirdest story I've ever read. (Reasons why it is weird) #1- How can he sue her for just not liking him? #2- In defense, the woman might say that the man is having an affair with her. By doing this the court might also charge him for BREACH OF TRUST. #3- Why do you ask this kind of question?. I think that it is too impossible to just sue somebody because of this, but since I don't live in India I don't fully understand why some things are meant to be and (possibly) this isn't the answer you're looking for.
Reply:Does anyone really want to FORCE someone to love them?





And is someone not loving you punishable by law?








If they really loved her? Why would they want to hurt her in away? If you REALLY LOVE SOMEONE you want them to be happy, even if it is without you..
Reply:Silly boy. Forget about her and move on.
Reply:I actually don't know much about this, but my guess is that court cannot do anything about it! What do you think?
Reply:as per my legal knowlege the boy cannot sue the girl because the promises made by the girl are very personal in nature and law dosent recognize such promises as they donnot result in legally enforceable contracts.....
Reply:No, its is not necessary, since love is just like a reflex action is an unborn action. The fact that is you dont love someone with your heart, you can never see reason to do so even when the petty the person for loving you sincerely. Its better not to take her to court because " you can force a sheep to river, you cant force it to drink water.


I still love my ex?

ok so... and iam 20 years old. i have 1kid.. he is 1years old. i love him to death. my first love walked out of my life 3years ago and i always loved him. but then i met this great guy that maked me think about me ex all the time .. he look like him and talked like him. he loves me so much and we have a kid together.. but my love for him started to go away a long time ago. iam still with him. he wants to get marryed but my heart is not with him. my ex moved back to chicago.. he knows about my son. and all about whats going on in my life. we have been talking on the fon. and on myspace. and emails i love him alot and he wants to work things out with me. i dont know what to do should i go back to him or make myself think i dont love him any more. AND make myself love my babys dad???? my lil boy is everything i want to make him happy to. i think about what iam doing. but then i remember my mom and dad didnt love each other and i hate when they would fight... i dont want him to see that.

I still love my ex?
Wow, that is a lot. It's always good to vent. First I must say this, no one can answer this question for you. This has to be a decision that is based solely on what you feel is right. But I will say this, love is the most wonderful experience when both people involved are on the same page. But it can be the worst thing when only one person is doing all the loving. If you know deep down inside that you are not IN Love with your son's father why hold on to him? He deserves to be with someone who can and will love him with all that they have inside. If you aren't the one, there is someone out there who is. Sure it will hurt him when you let go of the relationship, but just think how much it will hurt the both of you if you hold on and try to force something that just isn't going to happen. We can't help who we love, but we can help how we love, and how we treat others. Evaluate your feelings, and from there make the best decision for you. Regardless of what decisions you make I wish you all the happiness. Everyone deserves a chance to experience true love. Also, don't worry about your son not being happy. As long as you and his fathers love for him doesn't change he will have all the happiness he


needs ;-)
Reply:You shouldn't marry someone u dont love b/c of a child. I know you think its the right thing to do and society will have us believe that also, but you baby needs you and for u to be happy. i say you resolve those feeling with the ex.





I'm 30 yrs old and i can tell u this...you will never forget your first love. The sooner you get over your ex the better, B/c u will always be comparing your new relationships to him.


And figure out what you want to do before introducing your child to anybody.....good luck
Reply:How does your ex feel about you? If he feels the same i don't even think there is a question to ask
Reply:trust ure heart
Reply:I think you should talk things over with baby daddy. Sometimes its good to rekindle old plans but sometimes it not worth it if you have someone who really loves you. Where was the guy the whole time you were with baby daddy. Dont make a decision you will regret sometimes the feelings we have for people are exaggerated becaus we are not with that person and it becomes a personal fantasy in our minds. So just have a talk with both of them and see how you feel. The ex is the ex you have a man who loves you and you all share a child dont give that up for a fantasy that should be dead and gone.Hope this helps
Reply:dont stay with someone just cuz you have a kid..... its better in the long run if you leave..... just make sure that you explain to the child that both of you love him and its not his fault what happend...... if you love your ex... think of why you guys didnt work out in the first place.... maybe that will shed some light on this new problem... you also have to ask yourself do your still really love him or are you in love with the though of what you used to have with him?
Reply:You are still young and apparently you jumped into this relationship for the wrong reasons.





If you don't love the one your are with, you need to tell him sooner rather than later so that you don't waste any more of his life while you worry about what is best for you. He gets one trip on this Earth and he shouldn't have to spend it living your lie. Tell him now and let him move on......regardless of your feelings for your ex.
Reply:Be happy. Don't think about your ex. He left. If he wanted to be with you he wouldn't have left. Let him go.

I love him...............?
Now you know where the saying comes from "you don't know what you've got till it's gone"





I guess I would have to say to you are you sure you really love him or are you now realizing he just isn't there or perhaps he doesn't love you as much anymore? Upset he doesn't drop all over you?





The funny thing about love is it never goes away. When you truley love someone it is for life. you may not always be able to deal with certain things a person does, but love is like diamonds and forever.





Perhaps you should sit down and write what you are truley feeling. Appologize and let him know perhaps he cannot trust right now with his feelings just ask him to think about it and take it slow. Love is not perfect.





The worse thing you can do is to hound him. Men will listen for the first few minutes and that is it. You have to remember he has heard this all before from you. Take it one day at a time and stop bringing up "The two of you". Be his friend first.





Good luck

try tht by calling him not from ur old number so he might not answer or by send him msg on his mobile or an Email


but u have 2 tell him tht u did tht coz u were afaid 2 be hurt


but now u trust him more than u trust ur self n u would do anything 2 make him feel happy....


i guess if he really loves u he will listen and understand


all i can say is good luck 2 u n i will be waiting 2 hear from u the good news
Reply:baby iam back for u....... if my almighty has send me in this world he has sent me to look after you.... he does not want anything from me... he just wants me to take good care of you.... ok.... even if u leave me in future i wil always take care of u ok.........
Reply:give him time to chill but continue to be there for him. I have been in the same scenario. If the guy truly loves you he will come around.You also have to be sure that you are truly in love with him and not just because of what he is.


Like Making Love to a Woman......?

----------------------------------------...





MAKING COFFEE


Making a cup of coffee is like making love to a beautiful woman. It's got to be hot. You've got to take your time. You've got to stir.. gently, and firmly.





You've got to grind your beans until they squeak. And then you put in the milk.





LAYING A CARPET


Laying a carpet is.. very much like making love to a beautiful woman.





You check the dimensions, lay her out on the floor, pin her down, nail her, then walk all over her. If you're adventurous - like me - you might like to try an underlay.





HANGING WALLPAPER


Well, hanging wallpaper is also very much like making love to a beautiful woman.





Clean all the relevant surfaces, spread her out on the table, cover her with paste, and stick her up. Then you clean your brush, light your pipe, stand back and admire your handiwork.





PUTTING UP A TENT


Putting up a tent, is.. very much like making love to a beautiful woman.





You rent her, unzip the door, put up your pole an'.. slip in to the old bag.





WASHING A CAR


Washing a car, is very much like making love to a beautiful woman.





You've got to caress the bodywork. Breathe softly and gently. And give every inch of it your loving attention. And make sure you've got a nice wet sponge.





BEING IN THERAPY


And yet, having therapy is very much like making love to a beautiful woman. You.. get on the couch, string 'em along with some half-lies and evasions, probe some deep dark holes, and then hand over all your money.





BEING IN A CRASH


Going to the brink of death and back, in a nine car pile-up on a dual carriage-way, is.. very much like making love to a beautiful woman.





First of all, brace yourself, hold on tight - particularly if it's a rear-ender. And pray you make contact with her twin airbags as soon as possible.





GOING FISHING


Going fishing was very much like making love to a beautiful woman.





First of all, clean and inspect your tackle, carefully pull back your rod cover, and remove any dirt or gunge that may have built up whilst not in use. Then, extend your rod to its full length, and check that there are no kinks or any wear. Particularly at the base, where the grip is usually applied.





Make sure you've got a decent float, the appropriate bait, and that there's plenty of shot in your bag.

What's your fav love poem?

Mine? Eliz. Browning's famous sonnet:





"How do I love thee? Let me count the ways..."








How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.


I love thee to the depth and breadth and height


My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight


For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.


I love thee to the level of everyday's


Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.


I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;


I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.


I love thee with a passion put to use


In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.


I love thee with a love I seemed to lose


With my lost saints, --- I love thee with the breath,


Smiles, tears, of all my life! --- and, if God choose,


I shall but love thee better after death.








- Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806-1861)

Reply:My favorite love poem is Shakespeare's Sonnet 130 because it's about TRUE love and not just lust or temporary infatuation.





Sonnet 130 - William Shakespeare





My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun;


Coral is far more red than her lips' red;


If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun;


If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head.


I have seen roses damasked, red and white,


But no such roses see I in her cheeks;


And in some perfumes is there more delight


Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks.


I love to hear her speak, yet well I know


That music hath a far more pleasing sound;


I grant I never saw a goddess go;


My mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground.


And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare


As any she belied with false compare.

"When We Two Parted"


--Byron





When we two parted


In silence and tears


Half broken-hearted,


To sever for years,


Pale grew thy cheek and cold,


Colder thy kiss;


Truly that hour foretold


Sorrow to this!





The dew of the morning


Sunk chill on my brow;


It felt like the warning


Of what I feel now.


Thy vows are all broken,


And light is thy fame:


I hear thy name spoken


And share in its shame.





They name thee before me,


A knell to mine ear;


A shudder comes o'er me--


Why wert thy so dear?


They know not I knew thee


Who knew thee too well:


Long, long shall I rue thee


Too deeply to tell.





In secret we met:


In silence I grieve


That thy heart could forget,


Thy spirit deceive.


If I should meet thee


After long years,


How should I greet thee?--


With silence and tears.

Reply:Since "To His Coy Mistress" has already been mentioned, another one of my favorites is William Wordsworth's A Slumber Did My Spirit Seal...which is rather morbid as a love poem, actually:





A SLUMBER did my spirit seal;


I had no human fears:


She seem'd a thing that could not feel


The touch of earthly years.





No motion has she now, no force;


She neither hears nor sees;


Roll'd round in earth's diurnal course


With rocks, and stones, and trees.

1





I am alone on these glittering crags.


A sinuous breeze


floats delicious, the infant summer's


suppertime simmer and ease.


I school my heart into this silence.


Not so arduous--


All that is vanished is aswarm in me,


my head is bowed, and my hand is


vacuous.





I see the mane of the mountain--


each little leafvein


leaps with the light of your brow.





The path is quite deserted,


I see how your skirt is floated


in the wind's sough.


Under the tender, the tenuous bough


I see you shake out your hair, how it clings,


your soft, trembling breasts; behold


--just as the Szinva-stream glides beneath--


the round white pebbles of your teeth,


and how the welling laughter springs


tumbling over them like fairy gold.





2





Oh how much I love you, who've given


speech to both the universes:


the heart's caves, its trickweaving deepenings,


sly involute lonelinesses--


and starry heaven.


As water glides from its own thunderous fall


you fly from me and we are cleft and parted,


whilst I, among the mountains of my life, still call,


still kneel, and sing, and raise the echo with my cry,


slamming against the earth and sky,


that I love you, step-nurse, mother-hearted!





3





I love you as a child his mother's breast,


as the dumb caves their own bottomlessness,


as halls the light that shows them best,


as the soul loves flame, as the body rest!


I love you as we who marked for death


love the moments of their living breath.





Every smile, every word, every move you make,


as falling bodies to my earth, I press;


as into metal acids eat and ache,


I etch you in my brains with instinct's stress,


beautiful shapeliness,


your substance fills the essence they partake.





The moments march by, clattering and relentless,


but in my ears your silence lies.


Even the stars blaze up, fall, evanesce,


but you're a stillness in my eyes.


The taste of you, hushed like a cavern-pool,


floats in my mouth, as cool;


your hand, upon a water-glass,


veined with its glowing lace,


dawns beautiful.





4





Ah, what strange stuff is this of which I'm made,


that but your glance can sculpt me into shape?--


what kind of soul, what kind of light or shade,


what prodigy that I, who have long strayed


in my dim fog of nothingness unmade,


explore your fertile body's curving scape?





--And as the logos flowers in my brain,


immerse myself in its occult terrain! . . .





Your capillaries, like a bloodred rose,


ceaselessly stir and dance.


There that eternal current seethes and flows


and flowers as love upon your countenance,


to bless with fruit your womb's dark excellence.


A myriad rootlets broider round


and round your stomach's tender ground,


whose subtle threadings, woven and unwound,


unknit the very knot whereby they're bound,


that thus thy lymphy cellbrood might abound,


and the great, leaved boughs of thy lungs resound


their whispered glory round!





The eterna materia goes marching on


happily through your gut's dark cavern-cells,


and to the dead waste rich life is given


within the ardent kidneys' boiling wells!





Billowing, your hills arise, arise,


constellations tremble in your skies,


lakes, factories work on by day and night,


a million creatures bustle with delight,


millipede,


seaweed,


a heartless mercy, gentle cruelty,


your hot sun shines, your darkling north light broods,


in you there stir the unscanned moods


of a blind incalculable eternity.





5





So falls in clotted spatters


at your feet this blood,


this parched utterance.


Being stutters;


law is the only spotless eloquence.


My toiling organs, wherein I am renewed


over and over daily, are subdued


to their final silence.





But yet each part cries out--


O you who from the billioned multitude,


O you unique, you chosen, wooed


and singled out, you cradle, bed,


and grave, soft quickener of the dead,


receive me into you.





(How high is this dawn-shadowy sky!


Armies are glittering in its ore.


Radiance anguishing to the eye.


Now I am lost, I can no more.


Up in the world I hear it batter,


my heart's old roar.)





6





(Envoi)





(Now the train's going down the track,


maybe today it'll carry me back,


maybe my hot face will cool down today,


maybe you'll talk to me, maybe you'll say:





Warm water's running, there's a bath by and by!


Here is a towel, now get yourself dry!


The meat's on the oven, and you will be fed!


There where I lie, there is your bed.)

Reply:Rather than a poem, it's a lyric from a song titled "I Didn't Know What Time It Was". Here's the lyrics:





I Didn't Know What Time It Was


Words and Music by Lorenz Hart and Richard Rodgers





(Verse)


Once I was young--


Yesterday, perhaps--


Danced with Jim and Paul


And kissed some other chaps.





Once I was young,


But never was naive.


I thought I had a trick or two


Up my imaginary sleeve.





And now I know I was naive.





(Refrain)





I didn't know what time it was,


Then I met you.


Oh, what a lovely time it was,


How sublime it was too!





I didn't know what day it was,


You held my hand.


Warm like the month of May it was,


And I'll say it was grand.





Grand to be alive, to be young,


To be mad, to be yours alone!


Grand to see your face, feel your touch,


Hear your voice say I'm all your own.





I didn't know what year it was,


Life was no prize.


I wanted love and here it was


Shining out of your eyes.





I'm wise,


And I know what time it is now.
Reply:EBB wrote some beautiful stuff.





However, "Phenomenal Woman," by Maya Angelou came to me at a time when I needed it most. I was in the midst of making stupid decisions--being a grown-up acting like a stupid kid--and had no direction or goals in life. "Phenomenal Woman" helped me define who I wanted to be as a woman (which I had never done before) and I try to live up to that. This poem helped me through childbearing, child rearing, a Bachelor's program, a Master's program, and my marriage. *sniff*

The Constant Lover








Out upon it, I have lov'd


Three whole days together;


And am like to love three more,


If it prove fair weather.





Time shall molt away his wings


Ere he shall discover


In such whole wide world again


Such a constant lover.





But the spite on't is, no praise


Is due at all to me:


Love with me had made no stays


Had it any been but she.





Had it any been but she


And that very face,


There had been at least ere this


A dozen dozen in her place.

she spun herself into a web


and looking for a place to rest


turned to him


but he stood straight


declining to be her corner





she tried to be a book


but he wouldn’t read





she turned herself into a bulb


but he wouldn’t let her grow





she decided to become

To Mary(by John Clare)











I sleep with thee, and wake with thee,


And yet thou art not there;


I fill my arms with thoughts of thee,


And press the common air.


Thy eyes are gazing upon mine,


When thou art out of sight;


My lips are always touching thine,


At morning, noon, and night.





I think and speak of other things


To keep my mind at rest:


But still to thee my memory clings


Like love in woman's breast.


I hide it from the world's wide eye,


And think and speak contrary;


But soft the wind comes from the sky,


And whispers tales of Mary.





The night wind whispers in my ear,


The moons shines in my face;


A burden still of chilling fear


I find in every place.


The breeze is whispering in the bush,


And the dews fall from the tree,


All sighing on, and will not hush,


Some pleasant tales of thee.
Reply:The Highwayman


by Alfred Noyes





THE wind was a torrent of darkness upon the gusty trees,


The moon was a ghostly galleon tossed upon cloudy seas,


The road was a ribbon of moonlight looping the purple moor,


And the highwayman came riding--


Riding--riding--


The highwayman came riding, up to the old inn door.





He'd a French ****** hat on his forehead, and a bunch of lace at his chin;


He'd a coat of the claret velvet, and breeches of fine doe-skin.


They fitted with never a wrinkle; his boots were up to his thigh!


And he rode with a jeweled twinkle--


His rapier hilt a-twinkle--


His pistol butts a-twinkle, under the jeweled sky.





Over the cobbles he clattered and clashed in the dark inn-yard,


He tapped with his whip on the shutters, but all was locked and barred,


He whistled a tune to the window, and who should be waiting there


But the landlord's black-eyed daughter--


Bess, the landlord's daughter--


Plaiting a dark red love-knot into her long black hair.





Dark in the dark old inn-yard a stable-wicket creaked


Where Tim, the ostler listened--his face was white and peaked--


His eyes were hollows of madness, his hair like mouldy hay,


But he loved the landlord's daughter--


The landlord's black-eyed daughter;


Dumb as a dog he listened, and he heard the robber say:





"One kiss, my bonny sweetheart; I'm after a prize tonight,


But I shall be back with the yellow gold before the morning light.


Yet if they press me sharply, and harry me through the day,


Then look for me by moonlight,


Watch for me by moonlight,


I'll come to thee by moonlight, though hell should bar the way."





He stood upright in the stirrups; he scarce could reach her hand,


But she loosened her hair in the casement! His face burnt like a brand


As the sweet black waves of perfume came tumbling o'er his breast,


Then he kissed its waves in the moonlight


(O sweet black waves in the moonlight!),


And he tugged at his reins in the moonlight, and galloped away to the west.





He did not come in the dawning; he did not come at noon.


And out of the tawny sunset, before the rise of the moon,


When the road was a gypsy's ribbon over the purple moor,


The redcoat troops came marching--


Marching--marching--


King George's men came marching, up to the old inn-door.





They said no word to the landlord; they drank his ale instead,


But they gagged his daughter and bound her to the foot of her narrow bed.


Two of them knelt at her casement, with muskets by their side;


There was Death at every window,


And Hell at one dark window,


For Bess could see, through her casement, the road that he would ride.





They had bound her up at attention, with many a sniggering jest!


They had tied a rifle beside her, with the barrel beneath her breast!


"Now keep good watch!" and they kissed her. She heard the dead man say,


"Look for me by moonlight,


Watch for me by moonlight,


I'll come to thee by moonlight, though Hell should bar the way."





She twisted her hands behind her, but all the knots held good!


She writhed her hands till her fingers were wet with sweat or blood!


They stretched and strained in the darkness, and the hours crawled by like years,


Till, on the stroke of midnight,


Cold on the stroke of midnight,


The tip of one finger touched it! The trigger at least was hers!





The tip of one finger touched it, she strove no more for the rest;


Up, she stood up at attention, with the barrel beneath her breast.


She would not risk their hearing, she would not strive again,


For the road lay bare in the moonlight,


Blank and bare in the moonlight,


And the blood in her veins, in the moonlight, throbbed to her love's refrain.





Tlot tlot, tlot tlot! Had they heard it? The horse-hooves, ringing clear;


Tlot tlot, tlot tlot, in the distance! Were they deaf that they did not hear?


Down the ribbon of moonlight, over the brow of the hill,


The highwayman came riding--


Riding--riding--


The redcoats looked to their priming! She stood up straight and still.





Tlot tlot, in the frosty silence! Tlot tlot, in the echoing night!


Nearer he came and nearer! Her face was like a light!


Her eyes grew wide for a moment, she drew one last deep breath,


Then her finger moved in the moonlight--


Her musket shattered the moonlight--


Shattered her breast in the moonlight and warned him--with her death.





He turned, he spurred to the West; he did not know who stood


Bowed, with her head o'er the casement, drenched in her own red blood!


Not till the dawn did he hear it, and his face grew grey to hear


How Bess, the landlord's daughter,


The landlord's black-eyed daughter,


Had watched for her love in the moonlight, and died in the darkness there.





Back, he spurred like a madman, shrieking a curse to the sky,


With the white road smoking behind him and his rapier brandished high!


Blood-red were his spurs in the golden noon, wine-red was his velvet coat


When they shot him down in the highway,


Down like a dog in the highway,


And he lay in his blood in the highway, with the bunch of lace at his throat.





And still on a winter's night, they say, when the wind is in the trees,


When the moon is a ghostly galleon tossed upon cloudy seas,


When the road is a gypsy's ribbon looping the purple moor,


The highwayman comes riding--


Riding--riding--


The highwayman comes riding, up to the old inn-door.





Over the cobbles he clatters and clangs in the dark inn-yard,


He taps with his whip on the shutters, but all is locked and barred,


He whistles a tune to the window, and who should be waiting there


But the landlord's black-eyed daughter--


Bess, the landlord's daughter--


Plaiting a dark red love-knot into her long black hair.

Reply:BELIEVE ME, IF ALL THOSE ENDEARING YOUNG CHARMS





by Thomas Moore





Believe me, if all those endearing young charms,


Which I gaze on so fondly to-day


Were to change by to-morrow, and fleet in my arms,


Like fairy-gifts fading away,


Thou wouldst still be adored, as this moment thou art,


Let thy loveliness fade as it will,


And around the dear ruin each wish of my heart


Would entwine itself verdantly still.





It is not while beauty and youth are thine own,


And they cheeks unprofaned by a tear,


That the fervor and faith of a soul can be known,


To which time will but make thee more dear;


No, the heart that has truly loved never forgets,


But as truly loves on to the close,


As the sun-flower turns on her god, when he sets,


The same look which she turned when he rose.

The Thousandth Man





One man in a thousand, Solomon says,


Will stick more close than a brother.


And it's worth while seeking him half your days


If you find him before the other.


Nine nundred and ninety-nine depend


On what the world sees in you,


But the Thousandth man will stand your friend


With the whole round world agin you.





'Tis neither promise nor prayer nor show


Will settle the finding for 'ee.


Nine hundred and ninety-nine of 'em go


By your looks, or your acts, or your glory.


But if he finds you and you find him.


The rest of the world don't matter;


For the Thousandth Man will sink or swim


With you in any water.





You can use his purse with no more talk


Than he uses yours for his spendings,


And laugh and meet in your daily walk


As though there had been no lendings.


Nine hundred and ninety-nine of 'em call


For silver and gold in their dealings;


But the Thousandth Man h's worth 'em all,


Because you can show him your feelings.





His wrong's your wrong, and his right's your right,


In season or out of season.


Stand up and back it in all men's sight --


With that for your only reason!


Nine hundred and ninety-nine can't bide


The shame or mocking or laughter,


But the Thousandth Man will stand by your side


To the gallows-foot -- and after!

For each second of a breath, I birth my existence.


You create a need of survival as long as you live.


In your playful and inspiring smiles, I engrave my most powerful emotion.


Your movements leave me speechless.


There is no need for variety in your arms.


You are my world.


And in your eyes, only god can reside.


For I have never seen such purity as this in any form of life.


From the first birth of your cry

I crave your mouth, your voice, your hair.


Silent and starving, I prowl through the streets.


Bread does not nourish me, dawn disrupts me, all day


I hunt for the liquid measure of your steps.





I hunger for your sleek laugh,


your hands the color of a savage harvest,


hunger for the pale stones of your fingernails,


I want to eat your skin like a whole almond.





I want to eat the sunbeam flaring in your lovely body,


the sovereign nose of your arrogant face,


I want to eat the fleeting shade of your lashes,





and I pace around hungry, sniffing the twilight,


hunting for you, for your hot heart,


like a puma in the barrens of Quitratue.
Reply:W.B. Yeats "When You Are Old"





WHEN you are old and gray and full of sleep


And nodding by the fire, take down this book,


And slowly read, and dream of the soft look


Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep;





How many loved your moments of glad grace,


And loved your beauty with love false or true;


But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you,


And loved the sorrows of your changing face.





And bending down beside the glowing bars,


Murmur, a little sadly, how love fled


And paced upon the mountains overhead,


And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.

Love One Another As I Have Loved You?

This is Jesus’ last message, his last words, the last important instruction for us. This is what we are supposed to do: love one another. Notice that Jesus doesn’t say, “It sure would be nice if you loved one another.” He doesn’t say, “Perhaps you might think of loving one another.” He doesn’t say, “At least, love the people who are nice to you.” He says, “This is a new commandment I give you: Love one another.” That’s that. Instead of the ten commandments, instead of “Thou shalt not,” he says, “Thou shalt love one another.” This is the job description for the rest of our lives. This is the work before us.





So why can't people do what Jesus has told us to do?

Love One Another As I Have Loved You?
I wish I had the answer. If we all loved one another, the world would be a perfect place. Jesus was the ultimate gift of love!
Reply:Yes.
Reply:The Spirit is willing but the flesh is sometimes weak. It sounds like a simple command until you actually try to do it. I honestly try to love all including my enemies but sadly I fail. Thankfully I have His grace to cover my faults.
Reply:A reasonable question, Susan.





For those of us who actually want to: We don't because we're weak and imperfect.





For those who actually don't want to: They don't because they're selfish, arrogant, ... and weak and imperfect.

Reply:Not everyone follows His teaching for one. And those who do don't do it well. Myself included.
Reply:We are mere humans, we don't have the strengths that Jesus has. Believe me, I try whole-heartedly to be a good person, to love my neighbors including the enemies, to be unselfish, to live by the word of God...I really try and sometimes, I do succeed but other times I just don't try hard enough I guess. I just hope that God knows that I am a good person and I care deeply for others including strangers and I wish no harm upon anyone and I do hope I am forgiven for not having the strength I probably should have.

Reply:Because the world is full of jerks and murderers who find joy in destroying the lives of others. Simply sit down for awhile and for an example read many of the comments on R%26amp;S. Many have no other reason that to act like neanderthal against another and the world in general is full of these jerks who get their jolly's by hurting others if even by word. Jesus as loving and compassionate a person as he was LOOK hard at what it got him, and he did NOTHING to deserve it. He was the example which should have shown mankind it's ignorant behaviors, but did it? It is why Jesus also said for us to stay to ourselves and pray in secret because he knew the ways of the world and it is not about to CHANGE........
Reply:I often hear people speak of Love and ponder if they know what love is actually. I am sure you are well meaning and you post is very well written. Let me pose a example so you can perhaps gain a deeper compassion and understanding for your fellow man and woman. Once i had a great life made loads of money and had a lovely wife and a wonderful son. I was truely blessed in all ways. Had a great name and my own bussiness. My marriage was blesses my busssiness and all my relationships. I went to chruch twice weekly and to mission trips. Was well thought of in all circles of life.


In one day that all changed. Being ran over by a semi that ran a stop sign that day my body was crushed on the right side. Damage to my ear, my eye, my leg, my arm and back. That day my bussiness was destroyed. That day i lost thousands in contracts. That day my best friend killed himself.


Over the next 8 months. My wife left me. Kidnapped our son using the court system as her weapon of choice and lieing to every one in the area we lived in. This futher destoryed my name and my company. She even went to the point of calling the people i worked for which of course turned them off as to use my services. So that year 2 week before christmas i was forced out of my home with 235 dollars and in poor health. I was not even able to really get around well. So i found mercy in a brother in law who loaned me a damaged house to live in that winter. But that only lasted for a few months. Then the note came GET out or we will take all your stuff to the salvation army. Signed your sister. I could not even lift my self up hardly. Well i move the stuff out. Then my wife persucated me in court for 4 years. Lieing to people all over the county to get even the church people to come to chruch to lie for her. After passing every psy. test then the fabricated psy. test. After that she kidnapped my son helped a man robe me and did all this while ruining my name and livelhood.


How was I perscuated in court you might ask. Persucation is when you are charged with teaching your child the bible. Being persucated is when you are not fit to be a parent because you are a christian. Being perscuated is when your wife has consealed her involvment in church while. While you are being deneyed visation and the rights of a parent for the same involvment.


God annointed me in the mist of all that and the Judge died. Never touch the annointed of God. I loved these people who were so demon filed they would do anything to stop God from being around them. Today i can bless or curse just like anyone with a mouth. My love is not as great as it once was but my compassion is greater. Hope you have learned about love.


Can love be an obsession?

Some people constantly say, it is an obsession to constantly think of the one that you supposedly love. How can that be? Especially with people who were not in love before. When you are in love with someone, it excites the emotions to think about the one you love-which some people say is an obsession. I always think of the guy that I love. And I don't know his feelings about me yet, and I personally won't mind, as long as we are friends-but I always think about him. Love, basically is an obsession. I think the way the person you love, leads you to think about them in the way you do. When you are around the person alot, of are surrounded by them-you can't help but to have them in your mind. According to some answers, obsession is more involved with lust, but isn't lust, half the part of love?

Can love be an obsession?
When someone says "I LOVE HIM MORE THAN LIFE ITSELF", they have issues.
Reply:Oy.





Love is "That condition where the happiness of another person is essential to your own."





Obsession is a neurotic psychological diease.





"And I don't know his feelings about me yet..."





You're obsessed.





The problem comes when you find out that your fantasy world doesn't measure up to the reality.





Love is the reality.
Reply:Love is love. Obsession is obsession.
Reply:Remember that love, REAL LOVE, is something that is lasting, and doesn't depend on any selfish motive. What you are describing isn't really love, but an infatuation. These things come and go, but love lasts, and in fact is relatively moderate.





I can love someone without being dependent on them, and without having to think about them all the time. An infatuation on the other hand has the effect of actually wanting to do nothing else but think about the person you are currently in "love" with.





Love is not obsessive, because obsession is a negative effect. Infatuation can be obsessive for a time, but, eventually it will cease to have that effect on someone. Infatuations can become love, if it is a mutual thing, but, it does not always.
Reply:love can be an obsession but too much obsession leads to lust.. i feel the same way too ..
Reply:Being "in-love" or falling in love have qualities of an obsession but that feeling normally doesn't last long. Loving someone is very different. It takes effort, and deep soul searching. Some people think that after the falling in love period ends something is wrong with the relationship. This can lead to seeking that temporary feeling in a constant series of new relationships, sad but common.
Reply:Yes I ever know love by some people talk about like that: when you fall in love with someone and you always think love is very importance for you but when you don't like someone and they always try to make you love them but for your idea think that love is obsession so I think that love is good or bad is depend on your idea cause when you get it you say is good but if don't get you will think is bad for you.
Reply:To me, it is only an obsession when you constantly think of that person.. It's is not love when you all you do is think of that person everyday for 3months stright and on because then that becomes an obsession.. Love is somthing that you should treasure because it means that two people really love each other and think for one they love...... Lust has nothing to do w/ love, lust is only for sexual needs, not love...
Reply:Love is kind of an obsession but not how we understand the term "obsession" when in love you cant stop thinking about that person in a happy way because of LOVE when your obsessed you cant stop thinking about them in a serious way because of OBSESSION if you can understand where im coming from?


Love or Paradise? you choose?

(My question of the day:)





Say you one day woke up and found someone by you who had mystical powers. They claimed they could take you to a perfect paradise...where everything is 10x better than it is now. You'd have as many cars, houses, %26amp; luxuries as you want. Whatever you would like would appear, and you always felt amazingly refreshed and fufilled. The air is always the right tempature, the colors vibrant, the pleasures more enjoying than you can imagine...





The only catch is you can never love again. Never. And whomever you were in love with now you'd have to leave. Maybe you'd still know what love is, maybe you won't. Perhaps you won't care...





WOULD YOU PICK THIS OVER LOVE?

Love or Paradise? you choose?
no..id still pick love over any of that. love is rare n hard to find, finding that perfect person for you is more important to me then anything listed in that ??
Reply:Love, paradise are just a material desires in my opinion. You can have all the money in the world and be like Britney Spears. But you can have no money and be like the guy from Titanic he was poor but he was happy with the red hair girl.
Reply:That sounds just like Paradise Island where Wonder Woman is from since there are no men (well, I guess some of them could be lesbians then they would have both love and paradise).





But I'd give up love for the Island.





Love is overrated.
Reply:Love over everything.
Reply:Paradise, because then you could never have your heart broken again.
Reply:With love comes paradise.
Reply:Paradise with my mum
Reply:Love. It's the most importnat thing there is. Without it, there really isn't a point to life.
Reply:no true love is paradise

Love For God and Man?

I will honestly admit I am not looking for love.





I'm sorry but I just don't get it. How can love look for you, when you are not looking, or keeping it at bay, or just not acknowledging it? I mean if you close your eyes to it or look the other way, how can love find you.





Admit I am very stubborn and impenetrable, so it would take an act of God to do so.(I mean as far as love is concerned)





Your thoughts? So, if I love God, then does it mean if I shut out my heart to men, that I can't love God because it says to love God and your brothers? Anyone?

Love For God and Man?
I don't see how you can love God and not love mankind. God's definition of love is not the definition we commonly think of when we think of love. Respecting others, helping others, forgiving and trying to understand others is a part of godly love. It doesn't mean we have to even be friends with them. You may not need people, but there are many who need your love, the kind I just said. Giving it to them honors God.

Teenage Love? i need help.?
o.k you know what, be prepared to read a lot because i have a lot to say!


first thing is first. your going to get mad. but your not in love with him! i don't care what you say! your only 13! you don't know love!!! i'm 16 and I don't know it either! WE DON'T KNOW WHAT LOVE IS! you have to understand that! and if he doesn't like you, get over him. try! because you have to be smart! why are you crying over him? you don't see im doing that!! he's over you! he doesn't like you, yet crying over him. then, when he has no one to be with, he's going to go with you. and you want to know why? because he want's sex. and you because you love him so much, your going to give it to him. then the next day, he brakes up with you!!!! don't get me wrong, not all guys are like that. but you can't be that easy!! so if he askes you out, are you going to say yes??? NO!!!! you're acting desperate!! o.k seriously, guys only date desperate woman because they want something from them. do you honestly think that it's because they like you. there's always someone for everyone!! ALWAYS! you just have to wait! you can't love him because you haven't felt love yet. i'm serious!! you can't be that easy. if a guy really likes you, he'll go after you, no matter how "hard-to-get" you are. but if you're really easy, guys are just going to use you because your easy. they'll go after you if they REALLY like you. but he doesn't. and do you really want to go with someone if you know he doesn't like you??? guys say whatever they want to get a girl. they'll tell you that they love you, that your beautifull, that your amazing (not all men). but you can't just go out with someone simply because they said, your pretty!!! GET REAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm 16 and i haven't had a boyfriend! yah, i've felt the way you did when i was 12!!! i thought i was inlove!!!! the guy was so cute and i knew he liked me back. but then when i got the 7th grade, he changed shcool. i cried!!!!!!!!! but after a while, i got over him!!!!! and now i know that i wasn't inlove. guys have told me that i was really pretty, but when i refuse to go out with them, they act as if they never knew me!!!!! i go to an all girls school now so i don't deal with guy problem, but you just have to be strong!!!!


and don't ask him out!!!!!!!!! how rude can he be!!! you told him that you loved him and he tell you that he likes your BFF!!!!!!!!! OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!! that's so rude!! and you cried! if you liked you, would he make you cry??


and your wrong about what you said that he's a boy which is why he can't love you for our personality. not all guys are like that!!!! a lot of them do fall inlove with someone for personality, but not 13!!!!!!


OOMMGG!!!!


i just got in idea!!!





read TWILGIHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


it's a romance and it's really good. you will fall inlove with the character, edward!! he will make you forget the boy you like!!!!!


you'll fall head over heals for him. trust me!





but seriously, you can't be that easy to get.


Love song/so much love?

why do the songs "so much love" by the rocket summer and "love song" by sarah bareilles sound so similar?


like the piano intro?





i'm totally loving "so much love" a lot more. i've had more than enough of "love song on the radio, and basically everywhere i go, but that's besides the point.





which one do you guys like better?


and have you noticed this similarity?


everytime i ehar the intro to "love song" on the radio (every 10 minutes) i'm like ahh! the rocket summer! but it's always such a bummer.

Do kids know about love?

"Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving cologne and they go out and smell each other."


"Love is when you go out to eat and give somebody most of your French fries without making them give you any of theirs."


"Love is when someone hurts you. And you get so mad but you don't yell at him because you know it would hurt his feelings."


"Love is when my mommy makes coffee for my daddy and she takes a sip before giving it to him, to make sure the taste is OK."


"Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it everyday."


"Love is if you hold hands and sit beside each other in the cafeteria. That means you're in love. Otherwise, you can sit across from each other and be okay."


"Love is when mommy sees daddy smelly and sweaty and still says he is handsomer than Robert Redbird."


"I know my older sister loves me because she gives me all her old clothes and has to go out and buy new ones."


"When you love somebody, your eyelashes go up and down and little stars come out of you."


"You can break love, but it won't die."

What does love mean to you?

The Meaning of Love





What love means to me is


a partnership of trust,


a merging of souls,


commitment a must.





It's not about ownership


or archaic vows to obey.


It's about loyalty, fidelity,


and the sacrifices we make.





What love means to me is


a meeting in the middle.


Two souls functioning together,


both opposite, yet equal.





Like the motion of waves


love waxes and then wanes.


First, romance and excitment


then conpanionship is gained.





What love means to me is


how you season the weather


surviving imminent tempests


and then cuddling together.





Companionate love


is the ultimate goal


a love that means comfort


a love that's grown old.





what love means to me is


an assured kiss goodnight


from my best friend and lover,


on the left, to my right.

What does love mean to you?
I wish I had written this poem. You are so special. Last night I reread your profile and wondered if you're "laying waste (your ) powers." You have so much to give and you're so perceptive. Please don't change a word of this poem; it's superlative.
Reply:not that's...that Report It

Reply:very good definition of what love is.


Love is what makes you think of someone else instead of yourself. Love makes you do for someone else instead of yourself.
Reply:Love means different things to different people, and it is thus also expressed differently. Thanks for sharing.

Reply:woah!! you're ssooo deep ... love for me is .. mm .. uhh ... ..... undescribable
Reply:I LUV it its very deep and meaningful
Reply:I liked it but you need to do some editing like more capital letters and you should make it clearer. Great message!
Reply:this poem is awesome. nice job
Reply:so meaningful and wonderful
Reply:It seems to me that for you to have captured the essence and substance of love so well, you must, yourself, have so much love in your heart. You have expressed it beautifully in seven separately engaging stanzas that together create a powerful poem about the meaning of love. I love this. Thank you.
Reply:What a wonderful definition of love. Webster could use this, especially stanza four!
Reply:This is such a good poem. Its so true. Keep up the good work.
Reply:To tell the truth, it s more like a short essay than a poem.





I cant find any poetic flow or beauty.


There is no poetry here. there is no poetic space where the readers can dream.





It can be the lyric for a song,





But its only my opinion.
Reply:All our young lives we search for someone to love. Someone who makes us complete. We choose partners and change partners. We dance to a song of heartbreak and hope. All the while wondering if somewhere, somehow, there's someone perfect who might be searching for us.





Among those whom I like or admire, I can find no common denominator, but among those whom I love, I can: all of them make me laugh.





Love lasts so long because we are gradually learning more and more about the initial personality that one fell in love with at first sight, or came to fall in love over time. (And in the latter case, once actualized, the lovers would fall in love at first sight if it happened again.) And we are continually falling/rising in love with the growing and evolving person that shares our life with us.





I love you not only for what you are, but for what I am when I am with you.





Love suffers long, and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails.... And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love





There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear: because fear has torment. He that fears is not made perfect in love





Take away love, and our earth is a tomb





The ability to show love must always be part of the equation. Technology hasn't crossed that barrier. The day love dies will be the virtual end of the world.....





I know I'm beautiful, or so I've often been told. But would you still love me when I'm ugly and old?





By the way, love the poem,..great job!!!

Love For God and Man?

I will honestly admit I am not looking for love.





I'm sorry but I just don't get it. How can love look for you, when you are not looking, or keeping it at bay, or just not acknowledging it? I mean if you close your eyes to it or look the other way, how can love find you.





Admit I am very stubborn and impenetrable, so it would take an act of God to do so.(I mean as far as love is concerned)





Your thoughts? So, if I love God, then does it mean if I shut out my heart to men, that I can't love God because it says to love God and your brothers? Anyone?

Love For God and Man?
I don't see how you can love God and not love mankind. God's definition of love is not the definition we commonly think of when we think of love. Respecting others, helping others, forgiving and trying to understand others is a part of godly love. It doesn't mean we have to even be friends with them. You may not need people, but there are many who need your love, the kind I just said. Giving it to them honors God.

It isn't talking about romantic love, but compassion.


True Love: out of our hands or just in our minds?

How often do we hear the same line? "I've always believed that true love was such-and-such, and now I feel it with you" --- possibly as an introduction to a marriage proposal.





It makes me wonder, people have their own opinion about true love. They make up an image of their perfect partner in their minds and eventually they find a partner that fits the description. They feel that feeling being with, thinking about that partner, think they've found true love.





But is it really true love, or is "true love" just a part of our imagination, and do we just keep on looking for a person to meet the requirements with a trial-and-error attitude and *eventually* find that *one* person...





If a child learns that true love is feeling safe around someone, will they grow up avoiding that feeling and when they do, think that they are in love?





Vice versa, if a child learns that true love is losing all control, will they grow up being responsible control freaks, etc... ?

True Love: out of our hands or just in our minds?
love is about feeling the whole roller coaster of emotions, its knowing that no matter whether times are good or bad, theres someone there that loves you for who you are
Reply:Love is just a moment of giving and marraige is when we admit our parents were right.
Reply:I think it's just in our minds...
Reply:I dont think you can help who you fall in love with.. To say it doesn't come from the heart sounds ludicrous to me... I believe it involves the heart, the brain and every emotion you ever had, and some you may not have even realised were there.... Your whole world changes the moment you realise he's/she's the one for you.. With true love, your views of self gain stop.. You are no longer out for number one, you will do anythink to ensure their happiness is of utmost importance... True love is strong enough to help you through the toughest times as well as the smooth... True lover's never give up on each other..


Love is a very powerful emotion, one that I feel I have no control over.. He means everything to me... I would rather die than be without him... (I've been married 18 years)
Reply:Love is not felt by the heart. It is an emotion, and all emotions are controlled by the brain. Well a section in the brain called the madulaoblangota.(I think I spelt that wrong). So technically we make ourselves fall in and out if love. It is not this uncontrolable urge. There is no such thing. You just have to discipline your mind.
Reply:why donot you live it ..........yourself ..........love is like a as if you are struck by a train ...."that comes without knowing" westlife. it is something you cannot explain coz when it comes to true pure love ...your heart has the upper hand over you brains .........even if you want to stop it ,it wonnot stop.
Reply:whoa, how do you rite that much?!
Reply:Out of our hands. When in our minds, it's just for a short time. After a little while the butterfly metamorphoses either into habit to conform with the realm of boredom, or into hatred if its freedom is threatened to fly over other fields.
Reply:ya sure in your mind, your pants, in a town near you,who cares, you start looking for reason in love your pissing in the wind
Reply:Hi =)





I beg to differ with the view that says Love is not felt by the heart. You're right, True love should be felt by the Being, the Soul and spirit. Bodily lust and infatuation are often mistaken for as heart love when it's only biochemistry at play here.


Fantasies and idealizations are for people who dont have the guts to face reality and deal with themselves, or their own lack of self-love. That's why they go on projecting all these images onto external circumstances and people.





It has been said that man cannot live without lies, and i can;t agree more. Think about it, if you take away all the romance and poetry, your love will be just pure carnal appetites, sex energy for procreation because one knows that he is ephemeral and before he dies, he wants to create another specimen of him.. so this is what 99% of people call love and relationships. It's absurd and almost profane.





I am more for the view that if you really love someone, the number one thing to bear in mind is not to destroy each other. And this includes not treating each other as a mere possession. On the contrary, it's all about giving enough freedom, space and autonomy to be your own individual. You can never know what will be the outcome putting your trust in someone like that but all we have to do is work on ourselves and know what we do is with a clear conscience.





Dont mean to rattle on like a train...just got me thinking. Good question. Have a good week ahead, yah?


Love song/so much love?

why do the songs "so much love" by the rocket summer and "love song" by sarah bareilles sound so similar?


like the piano intro?





i'm totally loving "so much love" a lot more. i've had more than enough of "love song on the radio, and basically everywhere i go, but that's besides the point.





which one do you guys like better?


and have you noticed this similarity?


everytime i ehar the intro to "love song" on the radio (every 10 minutes) i'm like ahh! the rocket summer! but it's always such a bummer.

Love song/so much love?
Ha, I just listened to them and they do sound really similar! I've never noticed before. But I definitely like the rocket summer better. They're amazing.
Reply:i heard the beginning of love song on the radio and i freaked out nad told my step mom to turn it up and then i was like. oh, it's not the rocket summer. it's just that stupid song. :) Report It

Reply:Yeah I have noticed the similiarity, but they are of same genres. I like The Rocket Summer better because of the male vocals. I can't stand female ones for some reason.


Do kids know about love?

"Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving cologne and they go out and smell each other."


"Love is when you go out to eat and give somebody most of your French fries without making them give you any of theirs."


"Love is when someone hurts you. And you get so mad but you don't yell at him because you know it would hurt his feelings."


"Love is when my mommy makes coffee for my daddy and she takes a sip before giving it to him, to make sure the taste is OK."


"Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it everyday."


"Love is if you hold hands and sit beside each other in the cafeteria. That means you're in love. Otherwise, you can sit across from each other and be okay."


"Love is when mommy sees daddy smelly and sweaty and still says he is handsomer than Robert Redbird."


"I know my older sister loves me because she gives me all her old clothes and has to go out and buy new ones."


"When you love somebody, your eyelashes go up and down and little stars come out of you."


"You can break love, but it won't die."

Do kids know about love?
"Love is when my mommy makes coffee for my daddy and she takes a sip before giving it to him, to make sure the taste is OK." yep, i like that!

Is it possible to love someone MORE than you loved your FIRST love.????

Me and my boyfriend have been dating for 2 yearz. And I know that he loves me.. but I'm just afraid he'll never love me as much as he loved his first love. And I'm afraid he still loves her. I know that in some ways you will Always have feelings for your first love. But is there anyone that he could love me more than he loved her? I'm scared that if she wanted too, right now she could tell him that she wantz to be with him, and hed leave me for her. I've talked to him about it, but he says he wouldnt, and that he doesnt love her anymore. But I know he does (Itz complicated) Can I please get some advice

Is it possible to love someone MORE than you loved your FIRST love.????
Can you explain this futher (itz complicated).
Reply:Definately!





My first love will always hold a special place in my heart, but it's my husband who is on the pedestal. And I'm sure he still has feelings for his first love (as much as I hate to think it), but I know he loves me more than her.





As a female, we're predisposed to be jealous of each other. We can't help it. And whatever happened in his past relationship(s), we will always be jealous, and we always hold that little fear of "what if he leaves?". It's something we must learn to deal with, and that's where the trust comes in to play. If you don't trust him, you'll only drive yourself crazy, and will eventually ruin your relationship. Unless he has given you a reason to believe he might leave you, don't dwell on it. Enjoy the relationship you have, for if he truly loved his first love, he would be with her now, and not with you.
Reply:Everyone will keep a very special place for their first love in their heart... it's a place no one else can touch. That doesn't mean if she wanted him back he'd take her back. He can always respect what they had, but know it's over and he's got something great with you.


In order for your r-ship w/ him to excel, you need to let go of your worries about his ex. YOU have him, not her. Just let it flow, and what's meant to be will be.


Good luck!
Reply:I dont know... I haven't forgotten my first love... It's possible, but i don't know for sure. don't worry, he loves you and he won't leave you though. He will ALWAYS have feelings for her... and you know that too and so does he! However, his feelings have altered and they are all for you now! be happy with the way you are =)
Reply:Of course it is possible to love someone more than your first love. Think:do you love your bf more than your first love? That was the past, and this is your present tense. =) dont be afraid that he loves her, be confident in yourself. if he says he loves you more, and he doesn't love her anymore, trust him. relationships are stronger with trust. good luck
Reply:Yes. Especially if you realize that the first one wasn't the one you were meant to be with. You have to trust him if you really love him. Hopefully he really has gotten over her. You shouldn't try to think too much about her. Concentrate more on your current relationship. If you give him everything you have and he does leave you for her, it wasn't meant to be.
Reply:First loves are special. I've been married for over 30 years, I love my hubby with all my heart and soul, but I am still madly in love with my "first love". I was when hubby and I got married, I was when I gave birth to our first child, and I still am--but it's not the person, it's the feeling of being in love for the first time, and I'm quite sure if that person showed up on my doorstep today I'd be thrilled--then totally disappointed--because he wouldn't be the person I chose to spend my life with, the one who's been here thru all good, bad and really crappy!!! My first love was my youth, carefree, and alot of stupid. My last love, my enduring love is now--all the vows we took--richer, poorer, sickness, health---mortgage, children, dogs, kitties, leaky roofs, and each other!!!
Reply:I think it is possible for someone to love another more than their first love. The reason why people tend to put so much value on their "first" love is because it's the first person they've ever felt that strongly about.





However, the reality is that most people don't end up marrying or spending the rest of their lives with their first love. So if he says he wants to be with you, I'd give him the benefit of the doubt. I mean, he could have gone back to her, but he chose to stay with you for 2 years. That must say something.





If I had to ask, is this boyfriend your first love?
Reply:As you grow and mature, you will love much more deeply. When I look back on the relationships I had in my teens and even my 20's, I just want to laugh! I think that as you get older, you see so many more layers to love and you can appreciate them so much more. So in answer to your question, yes, you definitely can love someone more than your first love.
Reply:Of course! It was only his first love. Do u love the guy u first dated more than your love now? Love is Love, but when you are over someone, your over them. If you love him, and he loves you, then there isn't any issue. And if you keep bringing her up to him, of course he is going to leave you becuase you are being to clingy. He's a guy. Guys flirt. That doesn't mean that he likes her more than he likes you.





Good Luck with you and your man
Reply:I'm confused by your z's in your question BUT....





Your first love isn't always your greatest love.. I felt like I would never have another love like my first love until I met my current boyfriend. When you find a amazing love you will know..





If he leaves you for her then your relationship wasn't meant to be. It sucks but you just end up getting on with it and before you know it someone a million times better comes out of nowhere and sweeps you off your feet!





good luck.
Reply:yes, obviously?.. you can have a first love / boyfriend or girlfriend and say you love them a lot and stuff but sometimes you never really feel the connection but if they did have a spark then why did they breakup? ever think of that .. you should watch some romantic movies and learn from it ;) and steal some of their lines .. hahaa or let your friend tell your boyfriend that so when youre ever hanging out or on a date he'll use it on you ! hahahaha =]
Reply:WITHOUT A DOUBT... FIRST LOVE IS ALWAYS SPECIAL BUT AT A CERTAIN POINT THEY JUST BECOME APART OF THE PAST...UNLESS UR LUCKY
Reply:oh totally. now i look back, my first love was nothing but a stupid infatuation. my current boyfriend is my love for life!!! been together 3 years and counting! :-)
Reply:i can only speak for myself on this and i hope that it helps. as we grow and mature and get educated in life we really change our views on what we want, need, etc. it is kinda hard to say this but i remember intimate detail about everything about the first true love. It is a basis on what we want. please do not let your security suffer. Drop suttle things, spend some intimate time (not sex), send him flowers. the things like that to let him know that you love him. be yourself
Reply:he'll always have feelings towards that girl but not feelings that would make him leave you for her. the first will always be special but you can love someone more.
Reply:I think it is definitely possible to love someone more than your first love.


But, I think you are more worried that he still loves someone else, right? I think the only way you need really be worried is if he ever puts her first in your life right now: does he ever hang out with her over you? Does he rush to help her with her problems, ever leaving you dangling? Do you see actual differences in the way he treats you versus her? If any of this rings true, you may have reason to worry.


Otherwise, I think it may just be relationship insecurity - which we all have!


In that case, if you've never talked with him about it before, you could bring it up with him. Otherwise, you could look really insecure and that never looks attractive. If you need to obsess over it - talk to one of your most trusted friends who is most likely to tell you if you are being insecure or there's really something to be worried about.
Reply:he might love you and she was just lust
Reply:if he wouldnt love you, he wouldnt be with you in the first place.


you gotta learn how to trust. just trust him. hes telling you the truth. so just trust him.
Reply:Of course! Love evolves, so it is possible as we mature...
Reply:yes its always possible to love someone more than your first love. Very few people marry thier first love. Usually your first love is called puppy love.
Reply:depends upon how u do.i loved my first love so much but then my current bf's so caring and understanding that he fills every space and clears all scars that my first love left. be MORE+ than his first love.... and trust him.
Reply:listen to what the guy has to say.


he doesnt love her.


he loves you.


the past is the past.


what you need to worry about is you and your mans future.


im pretty sure if he still "loved" her he wouldnt be with


some other chick for 2 whole years


just trust him thats very important in a relationship


and make him feel special tell him you love him more then once a day.


--good luck--
Reply:ofcourse. A lot of times you honestly believe that you love them but once its over you think it was stupid
