my life...is my sacrifice...for love.

Yes, I would give my life for it. And I have, really. My wife and I are very devoted after 18 years. But some things do seem to fade - external things - like the hot fires of the early years. A few years ago wf and I made the choice of an open marriage. Probably wouldn't work for everybody, but we've "done the work" we needed to do, and I think it's made us more devoted than ever.

in my experience, that usually ends up being taken for granted.

a love like that would mean everything! however it doesn't exist, at least not for me......

...and by the way please tell me you're single and thinking about visiting maryland (for some god forsaken reason) in the very near future!!

Bwahahahaha

God, I'm bad with questions like these.

i don't think i could answer that question till i found something i wouldn't do or a love like that

Well, there's something wrong with me. Because I wouldn't question love, unless given a reason. It's a difficult thing sometimes, because I've been not just burned, but utterly destroyed so many times in the past. But it's love. So as tough as it may be or as stupid as I may be for wanting to trust in it, I' will.

I think I'd give just about anything for it. Not because I'm all kinds of desperate or feel a massive void and will do anything to fill it. But because I'm getting better at letting go of the material/tangible things. Yeah... clearly there's something wrong, isn't there?

A love like that would mean an immeasurable amount to me. I would certainly suffer for it, without question. You reap what you sow and all that jazz. What would you do for complete reciprocal certainty, Deux?

I have, and would give anything for a love as you describe.

Life is way too complicated as it is to be thinking of shit like that.
Just ENJOY it! Things will fall into place on their own.

everything

I would like to think i would do what ever it takes...

but in all reality.... I'm to passive of a person to go to extreme measures in anything i do... well besides drinking and smoking.

yeah, i'm not much help.

Are you kidding? That would mean everything! Love like that doesn't come to everyone. If it finds you . . cherish it as long as it may last!

I am fortunate- I have that love. I don't really know what you mean by "pure", but my wife and I have what you describe. I think I knew it from day one- we have been married 8yrs, together 11 1/2, and lived together 2 days short of 11 1/2 years.
It means everything to me- I would sacrifice everything else to her and that love, and I HAVE sacrificed much, as has she.
And those are decisions that have to be taken nearly every day.
Sounds like, from what i have read of your journal, that you are very tight with your girl. Do you have what you are talking about with her?

Not sure.
I had what I thought was that love once. But it evaporated. And before I could realize it, I was there by myself.
So, I think my answer is that I would give a lot, but not all. Because despite the fairy tales, love is not eternal. It does not conquer all. And happily ever after ends far too soon.

But, I'm working on making it last.

Absolutley. It's like nothing I've ever experienced before. And I trust it. I know it won't fade or shatter. And that's such a wonderful feeling.

It truely is a wonderful feeling. A lot of people think that complacency sets in over time, and you take things for granted. To some degree, that does happen. But what is so bad about being able to take for granted the fact that you NEVER have to mistrust your partner, and that you NEVER have to be worried about whether you are in love, or whatever, that other relationships struggle with. I think that is all positive. How long have you been together?

Hmm......deep.

I sacraficed my love for happiness when I sold my soul to Mr. Morning Star himself... Lucifer. I think you should be an SG by the way.

I am not sure of what I wouldn't do for a love like that. I would love to feel that. I am not sure I can even picture feeling confident in something like LOve. Blech.

I am still here. Sorta... I wish something exciting and interesting would happen here that would draw me back in the way it did before.

By the way... I know I don't stop by and say HI to you as much as I did.... I am going to fix that. I am still as infatuated with you as ever... ooooooo does that constitute as creepy? lol.

it would mean everything. it would be the most important thing ever. it would be the only meaningful and worthy thing in my life.

You make it sound like it really exists, Deux..

I try that with every love and I'm always left alone when the dust settles.

Hey Sweetie!

Well, another week has passed. See how fast the time goes?

Have a wonderful weekend!

the world ...everything ....

I know what I would do with it: something to completely screw it up.
