Quote: LostLove wrote" What is MADLY in love? Is there a possibility that someone might just be MADLY inlove with another if upon recieving a gift that didn't meet their expectations was still happy to be with them?
For me, "madly" in love is the same as "in love". It's knowing that even when or if someone doesn't quite get something right it's still ok. It's easy to overlook it and see that it was the thought that counts. It's accepting someone for who they are, as they are and embracing that. Feeling Madly in love is wanting to put a little extra effort into trying to make the other person feel appreciated and loved. It's wanting to share your time with them and wanting to see them smile. It's longing for the next time you can touch eachother, even if it's just a hug. It's not wanting to go to bed without saying goodnight and kissing. It's looking forward to seeing that person at the end of the day.
Thank you NOPkins for your thoughts. We've been doing alot of talking.
LuvHubby, yes, I am still lurking about, but H has mentioned the board as a negative aspect to my parents. I'm not sure why he's so threatened by a group of "strangers", but he has told me that he will not be posting anymore. I on the other hand, need to communicate my thoughts to my friends and to as many people who care as possible. Not that everyone here cares, but whoever reads and chooses to follow along, you know?
It's been a tense couple of days. H prepared a bubble bath for me, all candlelit, complete with wine this evening. I'm having a very difficult time. He's been validating quite a bit and seems willing to jump through hoops for me, and it's killing me. I want to be his best friend or as close a friend as possible, but no more than that. I know in my heart that no matter what he does, I'll never be able to truly be his lover again. It's gone. It's been gone since 1997. As painful as it is to say that, I know it to be true. I'm sorry.
