Where does the love go?

Post by Kathy Ellen »

Why do we fall in love so deeply, treasure each moment with our mate, share such intimate times with each other, survive the good and bad times....and then poof...it's all gone......within a heartbeat...I don't love you anymore. I want my freedom...:-2



Where has the love gone? ....:confused:

I loved my x husband, i still do, its just a different kind of love. We grew apart, we got married too young.

I don't think its the love that goes in most cases, its the lust.

I caint unnerstand it ether. My Maggie done left me too. An I treated her so good.

On Sundays, I let her outa the kitchen ta put on a clean dress an go with me to KFC fer dinner. I'd buy her a small drink and sometimes give her a wing outa my bucket of chicken.

Sometimes I let her bait my trot lines while I handle the boat.

She always gits ta dress out my deer an keep the heart an liver fer herself.

On Saturdays i lets her heat the bath water and have her bath in the big old washtub right after the dogs but before me.

I lets her clean all my guns but keep the ammo locked up. Woodn't want her hurtin herself.

When she cooks sumptin I really likes, I invite all the cuzins over without tellin her. I like ta surprize her.

I lets her tend our acre garden. Even let her plant flowers in that sandy corner where veggies won't grow good.

I lets her cut our lawn onct a summer. She's real good at findin stuff in the grass, like outboard motors an stuff.

An when it rains, I let her ride in the cab of my pickup truck, iffn the dogs don't mind.

An when it's thunder an lightening out, I makes her git offn the tractor and come inside 'til it's over.

Them ar just some of the ways I showed my love fer my Maggie.

I believe it goes away when people change. We take 2 people put them into a cup shake them up, toss in some sweetness and some bitterness, throw in a vew obsticals along the way and watch them do their magic.... they work things out, they stick together and they call it love. Over time this action is repeated but suddenly one person changes it up a little and trys something new, the other person now has to think about it and wonder if they are wanting this change or not, some times they do, some times they don't but they deal with it. And they cycle goes on and on with both parties.

In the end I believe some couples just do not grow together.... they endure the ebbs and flows of life at different speeds or different ways and slowly grow apart.

I also believe our world has been made smaller by many forms of communication (telephone, internet etc) which then makes us more aware of what is out there, the fact we have more options etc. and poof.... we feel we don't have to try to make the love last forever, we can just walk away and find it elsewhere, and start a fresh.

Side note... starting afresh is what many many people seek, some people seek that over and over again, the thrill of new love and attraction. Humans are attention seekers, the more attention they get at many many capacities the more they are pleased.

Just my opinion, but I don't think real love was there in the first place. Infatuation and attraction perhaps, but real love? I don't think so.

I don't believe there is a "poof" moment. I think there are signs along the way that there is trouble in the relationship, if one really looks.

In my first marriage, which lasted 20 years, there was that moment when I realized that I had had enough. But before that, there were many hurtful moments for me between myself and my ex. I hoped they would get better between us, and I enjoyed the few moments that were good. But I saw my future as being the same "walking on eggshells" episodes over and over and I just had enough being married to him.

And to this day I don't believe my ex ever really loved me. Sad, but true.

I do believe love can last...but both people have to want it bad enough to work for it. My first marriage wasn't like that. We married too young and for the wrong reasons. My second was the love of my life and we just knew that we had to be together and would do anything to be married to each other. No matter what came our way, or just how hard it would get, we still knew we had to be together. I can't even begin to remember how many times we heard from people, "how are you two still together?". It's like we didn't have a choice. Thankfully I knew what I had while I had it cuz when God took him home four months ago I can say that I always let him know how much I loved him.

Love can be tricky...too bad it's not always a two way street.

Lots of hugs hun!
