However, don't need it anymore, it doesn't make me a better person, it doesn't make me happier than I am without it, and it surely doesn't pay the rent!
I notice as I mature I realize love is in the everyday events, it is in thinking of others before yourself, and it sure as hell isn't in saying "I Do" .....
I think there is something to what MsT26 says. I am not an enthusiast for unconditional love myself, but as to long time loving, I agree it helps to not "lose" yourself, but know yourself, be yourself, in the relationship.
I also propose that MsT is a long time a2k poster who has had, probably for log in reasons, a name change. If that is so, welcome back. And if I'm wrong about that, welcome anyway, MsT.
