Have you (or did you ever) find true love ?

I have been truly in love, but it wasn’t always mirrored, as I thought. I am in love. I’m still in love. I’d say the truest love, and the one that tops the rest I’ve been lucky enough to have in my life, is my son. That is the truest love I know, and if I never have my happily-ever-after romance, I will still be the luckiest and happiest woman, because of him.

Yup, Mrs squeeky is it going on 27plus years now.

Yes, but it wasn’t reciprocated. Took me 10 years to (really) get over it (quit finding her in my dreams)!

Yeah, I’ve got a case of unrequited true love too. I don’t even get to see him any more because we no longer work together. It’s been almost four months, and I still miss him just as much as I did.

Yes, with my 2nd husband. It hasn’t always been easy, but we grow fonder of each other every day.

I have with my husband of 24 years. True loves requires both acceptance and forgiveness. It took us a long time to figure this out and it hasn’t been easy, but it was totally worth it.

It requires change on both sides.

You don’t “find” true love, you make it. I’m not talking in the physical, prurient (and sometimes vulgar) sense (although that is also true). You have to find “the person you will love” and then… love that person. True love is as true as you are.

^^^ Very good point. There were times in the first 3 years we were together, before we got married, that I would have flat kicked my husband out, but I couldn’t. I was inexorably tied to time financially, so I fought through it. And….we seemed to have come out the other side better for it.

Yes, and I married him.

Love that answer, very true and insightful :)

Amazing answer….. Very sweet…. You are indeed a very lucky woman. I am happy for you. I don’t have any children (yet) but I would definitely love to when the time comes. Unconditional love.

I have had crushes and once what I think was love. If it was true, I don’t know.

I’ve been alone for 15 years now and I have kind of stopped looking for “that kind of love” but I often feel and see “a different kind of love”, which is good as anything. :)

Yes—my darling hubby.

God I miss you guys!
