"I told a fb friend I loved him recently. I had known him 2 weeks but i was d*unk and we were having such a good time. I have never told anyone I love them in the 4 years ive been on here. D we knows what was going through my mind at the time. Think I frightened him off although i stated the next day i was d*unk and that i didnt love him. Sex was probably the best ive had but more importantly he made me feel like a real woman. Lots of cuddles and talking about some things either of us have discussed with anyone else. Hes since let me down several times but said he wanted to see me. I havent bothered contacting him now for the last few days. Time to move on. Shame though. " i accidently told someone i loved them during post coital bliss. Thanfully they took it for what it was, me talking shit | |||

"This is linked to the whole vulnerability concept, which was on Estella's thread yesterday. Those who allow themselves to be vulnerable and love often experience the best kind of love. I know I'm in love when the thought of them not being in my life, hurts. " I agree..and did read the thread, unfortunately I dont think I am vunerable and dont allow myself to completely fall in love perhaps. Although I believe I loved my ex hubby but it was easy to move on with him. I do have feelings.. honest | |||

Love hurts is a cliche for a reason I guess... but you move on. I hope to find it again one day, but probably not here lol... Aim to have fun in the mean time though | |||

"Only ever been in love once. It was a slow burning process. I just knew one day, that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with this gorgeous, intelligent, funny and extremely kind hearted guy. I don't share my heart easily. But he earned it. I'm a lucky woman to have this wonderful man in my life " you sound very much like me. | |||

It's grief first and foremost and until you've finished grieving, and let go, I'm not sure you can fully go into something else. | |||

"Love for me with ads is very different to the love I thought I had with my ex husband. With ads, I hug and kiss him and I always felt awkward with my ex, I never went to cuddle him, kiss him or stroke his head when we are drifting off to sleep, with ads we cuddle properly in bed, it all comes so naturally to me with him, I'm not naturally a huggy person and I wasn't one of these that kids the other half goodbye when I left the house, with ads I do (that hasn't come easy though!). When I look at ads I feel all funny inside, when he looks at me with his look I feel so safe, with my ex I was convinced for years and years he was either taking the piss by marrying me, doing it for a bet and I was certain he was going to kill me!! I never felt fully safe, I have never ever once thought that with ads. I also have a burning desire to look after him, which I know some women may find a bit dated but I don't want him to lift a finger and it's a strange feeling! Of course he doesn't let me and it's been strange for him for someone wanting to take care of him but we are getting there G x" It makes me feel all gooey inside to hear how you two are getting on | |||

"If you're fine when you split from someone, does that mean you didn't really love them in the first place?" No I did fall in love but maybe there are degrees of love. By the time we had decided to separate I had fallen out of love therefore making it easier to move on. It did hurt for a couple of days. | |||

"I loved once. It was amazing. Even more so because in many ways we were very different. She was my complete everything. I would have died for her without question or a second thought. The greatest day was when I married her. I don't have the words to do the feeling justice but I knew it was a feeling I had never felt before or since with anyone I have been with. I just don't why I felt like that about her because on paper she was so different and not my type. I thought we would be together till we were old and wrinkly. We were very happy. On the flip side careful what you wish for. True love can cause true hurt. When it's taken away it's devastating. Said woman was my wife and ran away from me and the kids to live with another man the other side of the country. Literally left me holding the baby. I can honestly say it was the most painful thing in my life. I loved her to ends of the earth. Role on now we still talk, get on but I look at her and feel nothing for her. I just don't understand how there was a time I would have died or do anything for that woman. I sort of find the idea that I don't love her anymore more really scary. If you told me years ago that I would stop loving her I would say your crazy; my love is indestructible and unconditional. Turns out that love isn't indestructible or unconditional. The whole thing has made me question the whole nature of love. To be honest I doubt I will ever feel that way about someone again. I have lost faith in the whole institution. So that's my 2p's worth" It's not love that hurt you it was the person who hurt you, I think we are wary of love but when the right person comes along we naturally let our guard down...I wish I hadn't but at the time it felt right to do so...we can never understand why someone does something but to them it was right...I'm sure that one day in the future you will have the same feelings for someone else and it will all just click into place | |||

I was only 16 when I met Adam but I ha never been interested in boys/girls/relationships before him. I had seen far too many examples of why you shouldn't fall in love or get involved. I wanted a career and I was alone in my existence with no expectations from life. Then I saw Adam and I actually felt the urge to get to know him. The butterflies were there. This instant spark or trust. My life was suddenly full of colour and love. I knew I could never be without him and I let my walls down for him. It was pretty damn instantaneous. Now he's stuck with me and I shall never let go lol! Adams was probably when he slept with me and still wanted to chat to me after lol...jokes...I hope! Eve. X | |||

If the fear of not saying to them is stronger than the fear of being hurt with the after affect, I'd say go for it!!! Just keep your eyes open and be real. Gemma xx | |||

Dito. It's scary how things can change. Makes you question the existence of true love. I have learned it may be resilient but it's not totally indestructible or unconditional. Not if the other person doesn't value it the same as you. | |||

I couldn't actually tell you when I split from my ex because we went from being in a relationship to being just friends and nothing really changed. Working together meant we saw each other still and didn't want our colleagues feeling awkward. We still get on really well. | |||

"I've thought I was in love twice in the last 20 years. Not until recently did I ever feel something I had never experienced in my life ....real love. I had thought I loved my previous partners but now I am totally confused as it was in no comparison to the love I felt now for my new found. As it happens she was a total nutcase hahaha ...I can pick em!! Moral of the story.... I haven't got a clue But I'm even more confused than ever now lol !!??"

When you find yourself wanting to be with them no matter what. When you want to support them in everything they do, even if it means hurting yourself. | |||

" I know I'm in love when the thought of them not being in my life, hurts. " I can totally relate to this. I was distraught when my kids left home. Not just sad or empty nest, absolutely incoherently distraught. I fell in love at first sight once. That was wierd. I fell in love slowly more than once. | |||
