Today's thought is: (20)
HJFinAZ: Sincere love is not born of possessiveness but of necessary space and distance.
--Melanie Gainsley
Dimestore romance novels and the passion frequently portrayed in movies invite us to mimic behavior that's seldom in our best interests. Focusing attention too narrowly on another person stifles our personal growth, without which we die, as does the relationship, in time.
Real love means we will celebrate one another's avenue to fulfillment, feeling joy when our paths are parallel, trusting the growth process when our directions seem at cross-purposes. We'll know that, whatever our destination, we'll each be in the right place at the right time truly free to love one another - not forced because we've been trapped in a binding relationship mistakenly defined as love.
But where are our role models for healthy love? Few of us have been privy to them. And yet, we can discover responsible, loving behavior for ourselves if we'll risk honesty about our personal goals, our fears, our dreams, and allow our loved ones the same honest openness.

I've had a perfect role model for this...my parents' marriage of 47 years, with full respect for each others' independence and strength, as well as communication and trust. It's what I offer, also...and what I need in return.

I have a "mentor" (charlie) over in Scotsdale, he and Marie have been married for as long as I have been alive.
How do they do that?
Charlie keeps telling me I am not allowed to fall in "love" again until he meets her..
I'm sunk...

I had that kind of love with my husband. There was nothing
I would not have done for him and he for me and as diabetes
took over his body I was by his side. Miss him terribly.
I hope to find that again.

Wonderful thread HJ so right a lot of us have at some time in our lives bought into at least on some levels a false idea of love then are disappointed when it doesn't work out. We spend a lot of years trying to live out a fantasy having our world crumble when we realize that true love is not a fairy tale but a living breathing working it out everyday thing in the good and the hard times together.

You were very fortunate Sassy to have had that kind of relationship, I have never known anything like that. Mine were always about money and deception now I just keep to myself, although this is great....I would not have done for him and he for me and as diabetes
