How do you know for sure you love your partner?

I meant, hubby and I are the opposites. But I guess everyone understood that.

 

Yep. You sound very much like you've had opportunity to assess things for what they are.
I did so many times but would keep sliding back into forgetting how things really are. I think I've stopped that but still slightly believing in 'happily ever after' and that old familiar comfort and convenience, I could slide again. It never sticks, tho.'

 

says the person whose handle is "TeamJacob"...

just kidding! love is a noun too. what do you think all of those 7 billion orgasms were making one generation ago?

 

Poop machine/alarm clock combinations? Gotta love those! We are tricked to love babies for their helplessness, but why can't we keep on loving this feature, when people grow up? Why do we have to expect everyone to be so tough? Have any of you ever noticed, you love someone, because they have some weakness? But that's not always good, is it?

 

Part of being human I guess. We would all be solitary beings, I think, if we rejected someone because of a percieved weakness and go off in search of perfection. We grumble but put up with bad or annoying habits - like tossing dirty socks and leaving them on the floor. Sometimes what was once endearing becomes annoying most certainly - but maybe thats because vision clears after the first taste of what was percieved to be bliss. We accept people 'warts and all' - and if you truly accept people despite their differences, would it not follow that you could grow to love them? I think its despite weakness Doris, not because of.
