Love, what is it, is it real, does it matter?

I'm still a romantic - although I doubt if anyone who knows me would say I am. I still believe at a basic level that love must be something more than a choice. It's hard to fight and overcome that feeling.

I chose to love my W. I am showing it in the ways I can now; giving her space, avoiding R talks, supporting her. I hope she decides to chose to love me too.

Sara, what's Retrouvaille, and what's your story? Why wouldn't your husband respond well to you saying you loved the dog?

Thanks for your input. Love maybe a choice, but it still feels like a mystery to me.
