Love

Who? What? Where? Why? How?
Go

I’ll start.

I love my wife, my late grandfather and my father. In that order.

My grandfather called me a nickname that everyone uses to this day. A simple man. Retired factory worker and ww2 hero. We never knew he was a hero until after he died. He read only the Bible every day and the local newspaper. He used to walk every day as well. Small town America, where everyone did know and love him.
He died of a stroke but had dementia for the last 10 years of his life.
He was the good kind of dementia victim. If that makes sense. He wasn’t nasty or scared. He knew that he loved me and wanted to see me as often as I could get over to his nursing home.
I took him out every week for pie or ice cream and a ride. The nurses always yelled at him to remember to take his walker lol. He hated it and just drug it around because he didn’t need it but he had to have it. The rules you know.
He and my grandmother were married 65 years. She died of Parkinson’s a couple of years before he did. We just knew he would pass as soon as she did but a funny thing happened. Thanks to dementia, he forgot the loss. We were thankful because he lived for her.
He used to wear Hai Karate and I can smell him even now.
He was 91 when he passed, 15 years ago today. He was my love, my protector, my clown and I miss him but I’m pretty sure I’ll see him again.


Anyone else want to talk about love? Love a cat? A dog? A kid? A car? A bicycle :eyesmoke:

I dreamt I couldn’t get to my wife last night. I was supposed to pick her up but there was a storm that was like the end of the world.
I once dreamed that she was being held by a serial killer. She was in an abandoned skyscraper and I had to climb up thru it like the guy did in cloverfield. But I had the Scooby Doo gang helping and we were using golf clubs!
I fuckn love her so much I would do anything for her.

Sometimes. Seems like what I’ve read lately is really far off so I quit. I’ve got a therapist though, she’s pretty good with understanding.
What do you dream of?
I haven’t had any in a while. I’m not sure why. Or at least I’m not remembering them like I used to.

Do you worry about not being able to get to her or be there for her in a time of need?

No not really.

I feel like I’m not good enough for her honestly. For the last 2 years she really has had to do a lot for me because of the fuckn diseases and injury.

I think I’m maybe trying to show her how much she means to me by doing these Herculean type rescues?

When Kobe died I saw the ways that he was so loving with his wife. The things she talked about that meant so much to her were things I’d never thought of. I decided I needed to show her how much I loved her.

One of the worst things you can do in a relationship is keep score. Someone will always lose and someone will always win. So do what you can and I’m sure she will do the same. That’s all you can ask.

Sounds like you two are good for each other. I can only imagine your struggle just to be in a “normal” relationship. My wife is a different race so we deal with that a little bit. I did my part to eliminate the white race.
So yes you understand somewhat. Idk why in the world anyone could care about who someone else loves. Insecurity I guess.
Congratulations

I’m curious what love means to people. Like how do you know your loving or being loved by another ?

I think love we can all think of love as unconditionally never stoping that love. Like objects in motion tend to stay in motion. This is easy. I love my little girl. I don’t care if she turns out to be a serial killer. Nothing that kid can do will ever stop the love.

now romantic love.... Eros
Is it real unending? Or do we engage in this act of love as a business relationship. And give and take.

There is always a line. A place in which where cross the line, the business has become unfair and now my lover become the loathed.
That love can end so by my definitions it may not be true to begin with.
We see it now more than ever, we can easily cast away an ex, for a new warm place in someone else’s eye.
To be loved and looked at with loving eyes is in fact the biggest HIT our dopamine and pleasure senses can take. Bigger than heroin! More addicting than crack.

that’s my two cents. We play the game of business with our romantic partners.
Now this pessimistic outlook doesn’t meet I can’t have a great marriage and love life. But I know deep down I’m only one fuck up, job loss, from my partner loving me, to casting me aside like yesterday’s garbage.
