Patience and Limbo (Core thread 3)

[Core]

C,
Just out of curiosity what do you think you were going to get out of confrontation?

I didn't have a plan. I see the flaw just in writing that sentence. Maybe I was hoping for a confession, tears, and her saying she wants the M, etc.

Sooooo....

What does love mean to you ???

And not some sappy Hallmark BS answer.....

What does it mean, to love someone ???

There used to be a slogan around here, that if something the WAS said to you, sent that little burn up the back of your neck...

Then maybe you should look into why it angered you so much...

And you may say that you were angry over finding the texts...

However....

YOU need to rise above this...

Whatever that looks like.

YOU need to rise above everything that is going on around you, and find YOUR center...

Mach, good questions.
Love IMO is trust, committment, respect, showing signs of affection, empathy, caring and knowing what you'd sacrifice for said person. Giving, not just taking. Thinking of the person when your in your best and worst moments. I dont think of love as a feeling. I see it as more than that.

I believe here what angered me about W's responses is the disrespect and invalidness of the statements. Which I see as signs of not loving, caring or even having sympathy.

Rise above while everything is crumbling. That my friend is a difficult feat!
