    Meh. It seems most of us have dysfunctional relationships to refer to. Either it's representative of how people have it in general, which raises questions about what "normal" and "healthy" is, or maybe ex-Muslims seem to come from rather shitty backgrounds.

    Yup Im from a shitty background so that is why for me something healthy seems utopic.

    My parents have made me believe that no matter how shitty a relationship becomes, committment is the most important part.

    Of course I dont agree with it but I feel  healthy relationships are very rare.

    I had one good one. Then I found out it seemed ideal only because my husband had no intentions of keeping me, so he never bothered to honestly communicate with me about us, just agreed with whatever I said. By the time I figured all that out, I was divorced.

    That is why true love is so rare.
    The one that does not need words or some fancy gifts. The one that only needs feelings of affection and caring for each other without wanting but letting it be.

    Which sounds a bit utopic, considering the harsh reality that we are ego driven human beings  Roll Eyes

    I don't understand this. What's wrong with giving gifts and exchanging words of affection? People express love in different ways, and the things you mentioned are two of those ways.

    Here's a good article on the different ways people express and perceive love: Understanding the Five Love Languages

    well then you need to understand the Mathematics of love so write some math equations and solve them Abood ..

    and I don't know why I am posting this post    "except for saying Hello and how are you Abood...."

     I'll check it out later, thanks.

    Maybe I should have written "the constant need of..." , because imo true love does not need a proof all the time as the feelings speak for themselves.

    No. Feelings don't speak for themselves. That is a very simple way to look at things. That's why I always likes soorat al Asr the most. You have to have your ideas, intentions, feelings and thoughts be accompanied with real actions or else they are useless. Any mofo can say whatever he wants, but actions speak louder than words. I would definitely not want a partner who says "well I love you, my feelings speak for themselves" while never showing those feelings to be true IRL on a practical level. That doesn't, on the other hand, need to be in form of chocolate and flowers, which is in all honesty the smallest type of acts of "affection" or whatever you wanna call it.

    I would however not be disappointed if I ever received such gifts  grin12

    no worries Inception, i don't think anyone knows what love really is, we each have our own definition of what it is, for you it is a trusting friendship and not having to prove your love with constant reassurance, everybody is different.

    I love giving gifts but its not as important as simple romantic gestures  : )

    No one truly knows what love is until they truly love. You've never had that experience. But you're young and there's a big wide world out there. Your only limits are those you impose on yourself,

     `Oh, you can't help that,' said the Cat: `we're all mad here. I'm mad.  You're mad.'
     `How do you know I'm mad?' said Alice.
     `You must be,' said the Cat, `or you wouldn't have come here.'

    Love is something that people bludgeon one another with, like a hammer, or club.

    Love is used to beat people. And not in some funny, haha sexual way that I'm not quite understanding at the moment. But rather a metaphorical thing.

    Never mind, fuck it all.

    Whether you view it as housed in the brain, a cosmic force or dust sprinkled onto you by fairies while you sleep doesn't matter to me. The fuck does it matter? Love is real and one of, if not the, most powerful and consuming things we can ever experience. It at both the same time makes us weak in ways we never knew existed and strong in ways we could never have imagined. Love is myth and legend and real every day life. Who cares that it's something that exits in our minds? How does that make it less real? In what possible way is our experience of it any less magical?
