Ok, so of course this thread is going to revolve around my own personal scenario. My boyfriend and I have been together for roughly a year and 5 months. It's taken us awhile to get to the point we're at right now, which is a good place but never mentioned the word love till 2 nights ago. Or well, I mentioned it and I didn't get the response I wanted. Instead, I got- it's too soon, I'm 24 and I don't want to love anyone right now. My immediate and obvious reaction was to flee. So I put my coat on and went to the door- he began to cry uncontrollably telling me how much he cared about me and that he'd miss me so much. I was baffled but at the same time upset because I realized that we had different definitions of love. So I inquired and I received- "love is wanting to marry that person". He told me that I could be that person but he just isn't at that place in his life at the moment.
I disagreed. Maybe love is wanting to marry the person when you're more settled and know yourself better. I don't want to get married but I still love him. Does anyone agree with this? I keep on shifting in wanting to break up with him over this but he might love me under my definition- in fact I think he does.
What's your definition of love?
well you certainly know if you love someone having been with them for in excess of a year. what kind of remedial fuckwad thinks love is tantamount or equal to or inextricably linked to marriage?
Meh, I've always thought of love as being best friends with someone as well as wanting to have sex. But Bret Michaels gave me that definition, so take it with a grain of salt.
i thought everyone knew that by now. but if it's not that, it might be the 24-hour puppy channel. see void for details.
and if its not a battlefield or a six-pack of puppies, it still isn't wanting to marry someone. that being said, it's also not hysterical crying. nor is it something people need to say to one another for it to be true.
