What would you do for love? ( Archived) (15)

Just wondering what you all would do for love?

If you found the right person, would you be compassionate, treat

your partner equal, would you love them for WHO they are and NOT try

to change them? Would you love him/her with everything inside your

heart? What would you do for TRUE love? Anyone care to share

your thoughts on this?

Would you love him/her with everything inside your

heart?

Anything less would not be love

I found the right person, but unfortunately he passed away. I loved him for everything he was...the good and the bad. I didn't try to change him, that is just wrong. I actually gave up my decent paying job and moved to be with him...I would have done anything for him. I loved him with everything I had and we were very good together.

With EVERYTHING inside my heart and soul...


You are so right. I just wanted others opinions on this.

Thank you Funnybone.

Not trying to change someone...

That is such a vast thought while you are sharing years and years with someone. Falling in love with your whole heart and soul, where you just can't believe you will live if they leave you..... well maybe not that extreme but almost. That is the beginning.

Years go by and people will change. They change themselves, from within, OR they don't change. If they do not change are they stagnating? Are they staying the same, not growing, and NOT changing?

If one person changes, grows, evolves, and the other person does not change, then what happens? I don't know. I was accused of changing, sure, we had a child together.

I went back to night college to brush up on my employable skills. I worked part time. I changed. I told him he didn't change, he was the same and that he was choosing not to grow with me. I stopped using all drugs when I got pregnant, he chose not to do this with me. That became a big

We had our baby baptized and I decided to start going to church sometimes, he would never ever go with me.

We are still friends, he got married, stopped using drugs and started going to church, because it helped him get off drugs.

Later I met a really nice guy, but he was bald on top and had a drastically ugly comb over. I told him if he didn't follow the advice of his barber, I would not continue dating him. He changed. It lasted three years.

Chele, I'm sorry, and I know exactly how you feel because my fiance' passed away in September of 2002. A very big part of me died with him. I also loved him unconditionally, the same as he loved me.
But it seems nowadays, people try to change their mates into someone that they are not, and I just wondered if there are still people out there who accept others for who they are. Maybe it's a dumb question,
but I'm curious as to what others think.

I think I would no...I know being in love with that special someone would change me I think being in love brings about changes in everyone. Sharing of the worlds good and bad would be be a welcome change.
so yes I would change for love, how i greet the day, my thoughts at the days end, those that fill my mind before i'm totally awake and especilly those thoughts thru-out the course of the day, the counting of my blessings would change to ....you ask what i would do for love, i cannot fathom an answer, but this I'll say,
because of love...i would change. much like every other good thind in this world the change would occur from the inside out, subtle yet my family and freinds would see.....At least last time it occurred that way.
disclaimer: I am on cold/flu medication this answer may be slightly faultedin some areas or me be a slice of my reality...either way I reserve the right to recant some if not all of it.
have a good day

Hey fireliter...no recanting.

You already spoke your mind and heart, so you can't change your mind once your off the med's.

I'm like you, when someone is truly in love, it brings SO many noticeable changes, good changes.

Thank you for your thoughts, and hope you feel better soon.

I'm so very sorry for your loss....my heart truly feels the pain of your loss. You are right about ppl trying to change another. To me, if you have to try and change them, then they aren't the one for you. You didn't ask a dumb question...not at all
