What does love mean to you?
Sharing certain things...values, memories, sex, and giving each other plenty of space when needed.
Plus offering emotional support like praise & admiration
The only people deserving unconditional love are babies. infants, the sick, the elderly and infirm because they are incapable of taking care of themselves. Upon everyone else love has to be conditional. If you think otherwise then try to imagine a game without rules.
Love is an action word. To me, it means showing respect, tenderness, listening, forgiveness, trust and caring. Growing together.
Working to solve conflicts. Hanging in through hard times.
I will always love my daughter. "This is temporary, " I thought when she was a teen. I was right.
I have boundaries. I do not accept disrespect, cruelty, abuse or affairs.
