It's really a difficult concept for me to even think about, because I haven't been loved as I love, which I think is maybe the key. (Finding someone whose concept of love, is like your own).
My ex told anyone who would listen that he loved me, even nearly 20 years after we divorced. Maybe he did in his own way.
My answer to that, is why didn't he treat me with a little respect then, if he loved me supposedly? Why did he treat me like crap?
I tried hard to find things to love about him, once I found out what he was really like, and sometimes I even succeeded, but never enough to want to stay with him for life.
Anyone who hurts me intentionally has no place in my heart.
It's ok. Friends don't need to be in touch all the time.
I have been more loving in relationships in the past. It is a terrible place to be, in that, while you care so much, they seem to take things for granted and you can see that. Eventually it kills off any good feelings and resentment sets in.
I have settled in the past. It doesn't work.
Better, maybe, loving someone who appears to love you more. At least, that way, you are having someone who respects you, and is kind to you.
I have always believed it is possible to love anyone. It is just a mindset. A willingness to commit to caring for someone. It falls down when it is not reciprocated though, or values differ.
When I looked at "read threads" none of it was locked, but when I went in through "read posts", then all of them are marked as locked, including this one. Strange that!
When I click on your threads, none of them are showing any signs of being locked. Not in the titles, nor in any other way. Must just be your view of them.
Red colouring on lips, in ancient times, was a reflection of other lips in full flush, and was used on the mouth as a clear indication to a partner, of a person's need to couple/mate.

I'd ideally like it to be mutual love.
