" I love you".......

[pastafreak]

how important are those words if you are in a long-term,committed relationship?? And if the words are not said....does it affect your sense of security,...or do you just 'know' the other person loves you??

And even more powerful than that, is the love you feel for your children. i tell them that i love them nearly every day - because I do.

I doubt I ever will get the hang of it. Ill probably flit from one pretty young thing with nice to the next, until im too old to get the ones I like and then I'll go live somewhere remote with a lot of siamese cats to talk to.

There are so many variations on love.......but yes--love for children is quite different from love for a partner/lover/soulmate...

[Ice.Maiden]

I agree leggy - just comparing the power that love can bring into our lives.

It's not something you get the hang of, goodsoulette. It's something that just happens. You can't control it, or stop it, but when it hits you, it's brill.

It can definately feel as if the rug has been pulled out from under you!
