No need to "believe" in love - love is, as much as life is.

Quite simple,

PS: Some may believe in hate, that's just the flipside of love...
Some say: "Free sex ruins everything..."

^Neither do I, lol. :P

Any interest in Shintoism and/or Taoism? I've always found them to be particularly beautiful religions.

Please stay on subject,  this post is about love not religion.
Don't judge a book by its cover! My lifes been like a country song! True love, amazing grace, severe heartbreak, buckles, boots n spurs! I 've been thrown off the bull a couple times, I keep getting up and dusting myself off! Can't give up on my happily ever after!

Yes, there are many folks and various things I love about this world  :)  Not because of religion or someone told me I should, that doesn't dictate how I feel... Not because I plan to marry anyone or take part in some kind of intimate relationship, though I wouldn't rule that out

It is the way I feel, I love these people and places and things because that is the feeling that comes from inside me
The main things to remember in life are Love, Kindness, Understanding and Respect - Always make forward progress

Superficial fanny kissing friends are a dime a dozen, a TRUE FRIEND however is PRICELESS

Talk about pessimists...either one hasn't been loved or has been hurt by what seemed like Love, and that's without putting Religion into the mix.

Which Disney movies? :laugh:

If I answer I'll get in trouble. :P ~But on the subject of True Love, this is perhaps the greatest poem ever written:

If thou must love me, let it be for nought
Except for love's sake only. Do not say
'I love her for her smile--her look--her way
Of speaking gently,--for a trick of thought
That falls in well with mine, and certes brought
A sense of pleasant ease on such a day
For these things in themselves, Beloved, may
Be changed, or change for thee,--and love, so wrought,
May be unwrought so. Neither love me for
Thine own dear pity's wiping my cheeks dry,
A creature might forget to weep, who bore
Thy comfort long, and lose thy love, thereby!
But love me for love's sake, that evermore
Thou mayst love on, through love's eternity.

I most definitely believe in true love. My ex- and I broke up in 1999. Here it is 2011, we share the same home with our children and the dog. We are not lovers (which breaks my heart every day) . . .  Sigh.

Yuck! I suppose i share your PAIN!

After three divorce filings and nine years later the last one was the charm! Ex is still STALKING me with kids and I FED UP! Just goes to show how both genders can be, are as equally WACKED as the next.  lol Am starting to think she wasn't LYING when she told the judge "i want this divorce", telling me otherwise yet having little other choice. He treated it as a "no-fault", i got the house with no alimony to pay indeed what a thrall, . . .

And to end this 'lil ditty kid's want me more than her for sure,
which means once I get them don't pay her at all!
Not trying to generate "sympathy", 'cause she's had enough of her share,
What goes around comes around and in the meantime we can only do ones best,

Perhaps Love Will Blossum Once Again when MARRIAGE is finally put to rest!

"Why, there's hardly enough of me left to make one respectable person!"

Yes I believe in love.

With all my heart and soul.

I am married to the love of my life. The most wonderful gift to me the universe could have ever cooked up.
We compliment eachother in nearly every way.


It was not love at first sight though. Far from it.

When I first met Sevan I was living as a man  ::) and ze was a semi butch lesbian. Ze was married to a slob of a woman who just happened to be one of my friends.
When Sevan met me...ze did not like me. I was a man, I was a pot smoker, and I took up all of hir wifes time hanging out getting stoned and goofing off.
I saw Sevan as a classic man hateing dyke and I was convnced that I had to prove to hir that not all men were evil.

One day Sevans wife wanted to come to my place so she could hook hir PS2 up to the big TV in my living room so she could game, and she had coerced Sevan into sharing a bottle of Crown Royal hir father had given hir for christmass. Sevan did not want to share that whiskey with me but hir wife pretty much threw a fit and made Sevan hang out with me. (unknown to me at the time of course...)
Anyways....Over that pint of Crown we really bonded. Sevan realized that I was actually not the bad person ze had cooked up in hir imagination and ze softened up to me.
I already had made it my mission to crack hir shell and get hir to be my friend because it was complicating my friendship with Sevans wife.
Well I actually started to fall in love with Sevan that day. But ze was a lesbian and I was a guy so I had NO intention of persueing hir.
Fast forward a month and the three of us are great friends. The 3 of us are basically a sexless triad now. (well I wasn't getting any, they were and that was not an issue to me) We did everything togather and we are really tight.
Then on my birthday the three of us went to a hot springs. We hung out chit chated and had a good time. On the way back to our place (they moved in by now) Sevan informs me that was the moment ze realised that ze had fallen in love with me.

Well it only takes hir about a week to tell me "I am in love with you, and I know you are in love with me. Do not deny it!"
I could not deny it. I was indeed in love and had been for awhile. I said as much.

Then a few weeks latter Sevan gets it in hir head that ze is going to tell hir wife that ze is in love with me. Ze somehow thought that would be a good idea. How ze thought this I am at a loss.
Well you can all properly imagine how that was recieved on valentines day!!!
Well over the next month there is allot of tension between the two of them and Sevan and I introduce Sevan to straight sex behind hir wifes back. The passion between the two of us was too much to bear. We had to get it out of our skin. We had already decided that we would be a couple and we just had to get the question of wheather heterosexual sex was going to be something Sevan could deal with. (yes Sevan was a gold star dyke up till that point.) Well it turns out that not only is heterosexual sex not the anethema Sevan had imagined...turns out ze is indeed bisexual. Which was quite the revalation to hir as you can imagine. (We had already decided that even if ze did not like the sex we would become a sexless couple. But the consumation of the relationship had to take place.)

Over the next month the two of them fall apart and Sevan kicked hir wife out of our house.

I tried to get sevan to keep hir wife and be a triad with Sevan at the center. There was only friendship between me and the wife. At first of course hir wife was oppossed to the arangement, but in the end she was amniable to the idea. But Sevan had had enough of hir wifes lazy abusive ->-bleeped-<-. (did I mention the wife was an abusive, slovenly, perma-stoner, and emotionaly alienateing to Sevan?)

Sevan and I have been togather ever since.
We have been through the ringer togather. The amount of things we have endured as a couple would have broken other couples soon into the relationship.

But we have never waivered in our love and comitment to eachother. Each trial we have endured has only served to drive us closser to eachother.

I believe in timeless love that endures all and comes out in the end forged like steel.

How can I not believe in love?
It is my most valuable treasure.

Oh I forgot to mention that I revieled my true gender to Sevan over the bottle of whiskey and ze confided in me that ze had some cross gender feelings also at that time.

So Sevan was informed and did not enter the relationship with me blind to the fact I was really a woman.


Togather the last 8 years and married 6 come March.

Sarah is right.
Sevan prefers gender nuetral pronouns.

For me it is an empty life, but only temporary. I know love will come around again one day, I just need to be patient.
