somechick: In my opinion it makes no matter what the definition of love is, the truth still remains that love isn't something you can buy nor beg. It is real and existing. You can't touch it but you can feel it in your heart. You can't find it, but it will knock before you when you least expect it to come.

HJFinAZ: Love is unconditional... Is it really??
Love is when you cant think of anything else but them... ANd lose ourselves in the process?Love is when you will step in line of fire for that person... As a Secret Service agent is paid to do while protecting the President? Love is when you would die for that person... Unless one is a "paid" bodyguard, would that not be co-dependency?
HJFinAZ: You are a nurse, I will "assume" you have had some study of the human mind. I believe you stated you work in a care facility, (like me ) some may be old and senile. I ask, how do WE know what is happening in the mind of another that causes them to do things we perceive as hurting us?
How do we know it is "intentional" on their part?
The way I see it, intentional deliberate actions even if done because of an emotional or mental problem is still deliberate. My ex lashed out many times in anger and hit me broke bones put me in the hospital a few times. I also have worked with people who have done the same. There is no real difference between them and my ex. I had tried for years to get help for my ex. He wouldn't take it he wouldn't try to help himself. And it was my choice to decide that there was no love there, it was my choice to decide if I wanted to continue to be hurt, or take a chance on finding my own happiness. It is not that I do not feel bad for my ex, or have some love for him still. But I tried for ten years to get him help and get the situation turned around. ten years of beatings and forgiving. The last time he damn near killed me. When does unconditional love end and becomming a marter begin?

Very, very smart lady!! And on the right track as you admit it was a choice you made.
ANd you realize that one cannot be helped unless they choose to be helped..
2catchastar: Thanks for the suport here. And yes I know that I helped both of us by leaving. As far as I was concerned in this, I was not someone who liked being hurt, but I am not the type to walk away from anything. I wanted to get him the help[ I wanted to make it work with us. Leaving was always in my mind but I wanted it to be the last resort. I felt that if he could get the help if we could one day be happy staying would be worth it. But no matter what, help never got thru, I decided to leave.
Honey, you and many of us have done the right thing by walking away. "WE", are not God. "WE" cannot make it work. It either does or it does not. The good thing for us is, we were willing to risk..
Hopefully for all, that lesson we learned does not instill us with such fear that we become unwilling to risk again..

The Bible cites infidelity as the only excusible reason for divorce, the door for reconciliation should be left open, but I believe if woman's...or a man's... life is in danger of death, then I think a add-on is in line!
