Such a complicated thing.

All my life I have deluded myself into thinking that there was just one person I would fall in love with and when that happened I would just be with them.

Fairytale romance!!

But now I've realised that you can fall in love with someone and still need other emotional/physical connections with other people and that's ok!!

I have finally evolved and that's made me so much happier.

Not much of a topic of discussion I guess but, this site is full of the only people I knew would understand xxx

I understand love is complicated while I do think there is a the one out there for me as far as I’m concerned she may not even speak my language.

Agree that you can love someone and still want things from others,You don’t have to be compatible in every way to love someone.

Happy for you OP xxx

Personally I think that love is overrated. It's just a biological and chemical response that ultimately makes you feel absolute shite, while the nice part is fleeting.

Love can be and mean meny things in my eyes, having emotional connection with one person is a type of love and a physical connection with someone else could also be a type of love I'd say more of a passionate love,

people can love more then one person for different or even the same reasons at the same time.

I can prove you wrong.

Taking my wife, lust and any infatuation out of the equation, I can say hand on heart that i fell in love with my old dog the second I clapped eyes on her in the rescue kennels and loved her with all my heart till the day she died (and I don't mind admitting it hurts she's gone all these years later).

Not exactly the same type of love I may have for my wife but it was still love.

I hope one day you find something or someone that changes your mind.

I think people over complicate it.

To me it’s a verb , you love someone , evidenced by what you do for them, words without actions mean nothing. It’s sacrificial, selfless , to point it even hurts you but that’s ok it’s worth it.

The warm fuzzy feeling people get Is just extreme like.

I left my ex 10 years ago convinced that after I gave myself time to heal I would find love again. But here I am 10 years later and it hasn't happened, although I've promised myself I'd never just settle again,been there done that. I'd rather be single than with the wrong person. However I'd love to fall in love again as long as it was reciprocated.

As much as I'm happy for people who find it, these days I do that kinda smile your granny would do if you bought home an old wild pigeon and it had mange and a limp. Like ewwww, I appreciate the sentiment and that ya wanna help it, but get it the fuck away from me. I worry for them coz there's gonna be pain, there's gonna be heartache (unless of course they have a perfect relationship and die together)

I've seen and been through too much pain to ever consider it again. No chance.

It creeps on you, even when you’re adamant you will guard your heart, and never let anyone in again…and then you realise that life wouldn’t be the same without them. It’s about knowing you could get hurt, but taking the chance anyway.

It’s not just lust, it’s talking about things you have in common, appreciating each other for the little things. If all that keeps you going back is sex, then yes, it’s lust. It’s not even about someone “completing” you, the other half of you, etc, as you’re complete without them, you’re still your own person, it’s that you want them, not need them, and when you both accept each other for who you are as individuals, then you’re kind of on the right track…

It’s not about ownership, it’s not about changing them, it’s about respecting each other’s viewpoint, and working through any challenges together…anything worth having doesn’t come easy (that old cliché)

That’s how I see love anyway.

Oh, and if they like a bacon sandwich, made like you do, then that helps too…

I never believed in romantic love until I found it a couple of years ago. I didn't think falling in love was possible until I did. I hope to find it again.

But I also think that you can have emotional and sexual connections with more than one person. So who knows where that leads.

Personally I think love and friendship and sex is a spectrum rather than fixed boxes that society wants to keep us in. What was so refreshing early on with Mrs Misfit is we could talk about it, about other people and how we felt about them. No having to pretend other people hadn't left their mark, no pretending we don't find others attractive and recognising that some people in our lives (past and present) fall/fell in the in-between areas, like meaningful loving friendships that are sexual. It was nice to be with someone who also recognised there is different types of love and different types of friendship and they are OK. But as well as recognising all there's areas of the spectrum she's help me to recognise the top of the spectrum and where I had in past relationships confused what I felt for the top not realising I could have something more. That there is a case of nearly there but not quite there with ex's. It's kind of a case of taste the difference. I needed to meet her to see how much more I could have and what an awesome relationship and woman was possible. She is my soul mate, simple my best everything. And because of that it helps me to recognise all the other shades of love and relationships I've had and that they are all OK, valid and different. Ironically seeing the many shade has made my outlook on relationships poly but seeing how awesome things can be and being lucky enough to meet my one makes me relationship wise monogamous. I totally accept love is complicated but luckily for me it's simple. She is mine, I am hers and we were ment to be. I honestly believe that. I think it's something that sadly not everyone gets to find in this life. But we shouldn't be scared as a society to recognise the many shades love or be scared of its messiness sometimes. Those sides are there to be enjoyed and can be better enjoyed when you can call them as they are rather than be confused or have fit them in a box that doesn't fit.

No having to pretend other people hadn't left their mark, no pretending we don't find others attractive and recognising that some people in our lives (past and present) fall/fell in the in-between areas, like meaningful loving friendships that are sexual. It was nice to be with someone who also recognised there is different types of love and different types of friendship and they are OK. But as well as recognising all there's areas of the spectrum she's help me to recognise the top of the spectrum and where I had in past relationships confused what I felt for the top not realising I could have something more. That there is a case of nearly there but not quite there with ex's. It's kind of a case of taste the difference. I needed to meet her to see how much more I could have and what an awesome relationship and woman was possible. She is my soul mate, simple my best everything. And because of that it helps me to recognise all the other shades of love and relationships I've had and that they are all OK, valid and different. Ironically seeing the many shade has made my outlook on relationships poly but seeing how awesome things can be and being lucky enough to meet my one makes me relationship wise monogamous. I totally accept love is complicated but luckily for me it's simple. She is mine, I am hers and we were ment to be. I honestly believe that. I think it's something that sadly not everyone gets to find in this life. But we shouldn't be scared as a society to recognise the many shades love or be scared of its messiness sometimes. Those sides are there to be enjoyed and can be better enjoyed when you can call them as they are rather than be confused or have fit them in a box that doesn't fit.

To me love is what you do, not what you say... And I do believe you can love different people
