I think that love is choosing to fulfill someone's needs regardless of whether yours are being met.

I don't know if I'm sure anymore. Maybe W and I both "fell in love" when we met and started dating and then timing and expectations kicked in.

I have always had a level of need for a relationship. I may see in myself the need to have someone "complete" me. Maybe that's a weakness for me.

"Obligation"? "Chivalry"? Are those dirty words? I know they serve no purpose in our conversation.

I think I need to understand what love means and whether it's really ever been there for us.

Thank you Mach. Keep bringing it, please.
