when love is not enough...

Sure I have. I have an ex who was...and still is...very self absorbed and has trouble controlling his temper. He never laid a hand on me but he broke things and we didn't have so many things that we could afford to have him breaking them every time he didn't get his way. When I finally told him to leave I asked only one thing of him...to seek the counseling I had asked him for so long to go to. He needed to change a few things...his behavior and his need to put himself first...above me and above his children. He never did and eventually I stopped loving him. It was a good thing. There was a wonderful, caring, giving and dependable man in my future who I would never have met had I stayed.

FOSTER AND SPICE UP LOVE The great love issues are in two (2) stages; foster and spice up. Fostering means taking care both hearts and spice up is to be out of common caring that usually done in finding new elements of love growth and development. The most hard part is to spice up the lively love that already peacefully running between both hearts. MY TRUE EXPERIENCE I got problems in both parts, maybe I am a self-centered kind of person in my business life. Where, I have to focus and take first my business life, love life is sometime be my secondary life. I need love and to be loved in full by my life partner but at the same time I'm failed to manage, handle and control my love life. So, I don't know what to do and just play by ear. Hopes there will be silver lining after the dark clouds!.

Yup, i've been there. My girlfriend made that as an excuse to leave me. It turned out that she was already cheating. She told me that she'll suffer and that what will i feed her and our baby? It sucks really and it hurts a lot but i guess she's right because love really isn't enough especially for a person who doesn't value love more than being practical. I told her that i can't provide for now but love will lead me the way, but i can't do it overnight. Then lately, we've talked about our past and she admit that she's told me that just to get away from me. She just want to hurt me so i can hate her.

If we want love to be enough, it wont be easy. For the reason that you will be asking for more from your partner. His love will never be enough if you're expecting for more. It will only be enough if you be contented to what he can give.

Yes unfortunatly love is not always enough. Mine has to do with not wanting to work to support our family, or to pitch in to do anything around the house. A relationship has to be a partnership if it doesn't even out on both sides it doesn't work.

Hi, liaamur, I think it is better that to communicate with the other one. Tell him what you feel about your relationship. I beliver that if he love you, he would understand you and stry to do what you need. But one thing is important, don't push too much. Have a good day!^-^
