How much pain would you endure for the one you love?

Oh no. I know I am in his heart as he is in mine. He has loved me for better than a year. And due to a previous relationship where I was abused it took me awhile to get around to even giving him a chance. But he waited for me and loved me enough to give me the time I needed.

well, everyone knows humans are not perfect, but what makes oneself perfect is other people surrounding, not just family but also friends and lover. and yeah, i bet he has come to make yourself perfect and beloved. that's nice of meeting him, someone who would wait for us even if there is small chance of being accepted. since you yourself have accepted him after heartbreaking love experience before, i wish you guys best of luck! experience does teach us something, not to stop but to keep trying and hoping for the best!...=)

I marked yours as the best response because you are so right on with this. I will always stay. He is worth what I am going through. And when we get past this we will be stronger. And nothing can beat that.

I'm really glad to hear that, I wish you well in your relationship!!!

The old saying that opposites attract is true. If you ever notice the ones that are the most different seem to make things work better than those that have so much in common. Its about wearing down the edges of difference and making the pieces fit right that is what makes the picture in the end beautiful and worthwhile. And you are right compromise must be reached. If there isn't good communication then it isn't going to work out. And it wouldn't be worth it.

I expect love, faithfulness and honesty. How is that too much? I'm not asking him to change anything. Sometimes though change is introduced. And sometimes it has painful effects. Its not anything bad that either of us did within our relationship time frame, but it is far reaching and potentially lasting. And it will take some time to get used to. I have a pretty wonderful and adult relationship here. No matter what happens through the day we end each night in each others arms and just laugh, joke, talk about our problems (even the ones with each other) or make love. Its the most positive relationship I have ever had. And we wake up and start the day the same way. Holding each other and taking time out to let each other know that we matter to one another. As for my fault in this... The only thing I am guilty of is falling in love with this man. And wishing that the problem didn't exist. But it does and we will deal with it together and lovingly. Its the hurdles we go through together that make us stronger. I figure if we can make it through this stuff, then we can make it through anything.

Then you're on the right track. I wish you all the strength and wisdom, and may your love lasts forever. Good luck.

This is so very true! I have found in this relationship that if we talk things through at the end of the day and make sure that we know we love each other no matter what then the pain goes away. And the love that is left is stronger and more beautiful because of the rough patch. It is what makes a relationship grow.

Oh there is. Perfect love I mean. Its the rest of the world that tends to make it imperfect. People stick their noses into things or something happens to dim it a little. But true love will prevail and remain strong. That is perfect love.

Its not about physical pain. Its about the pain of being emotionally involved with someone. Things are said and done either intentionally or not. It happens to everyone at one point or another. In my case stuff that happened before the relationship is having far reaching effects. Some of it is painful. But we have the most loving and best communicative relationship I have ever been in. And I am struggling a little bit with some of the dynamics that have been introduced. But overall I believe he is worth it.

Oh I think you would believe differently depending upon the pain you are going through. Some things evolve because of misunderstandings or change happens that was unexpected. Other pain is sinister and can dramatically change feelings of love to ones of fear, anger and disillusionment. You have to be careful with that kind of thinking.

That is downright poetic. Its not about being apart. We are forever close in heart and soul. Not to mention physically. lol. He's sleeping just 5 feet away from me as I am typing this. And its not about cheating. I'm not even sure I fully know what it is about. lol.

I think that everyone needs to have their own things that they do. If you cannot trust the one your with to go to a party without you, then whats the point? This is about the life before the relationship. And not all pain is worth it.
