WOULD YOU BE WILLING TO GIVE UP EVERYTHING FOR LOVE?

INTERESTING QUESTION. WOULD YOU BE WILLING TO GIVE UP YOUR LIVELIHOOD(JO RELOCATE
YOUR POSESSIONS, YOUR SOCIAL STATUS. TO MOVE TO ANOTHER STATE,COUNTRY, AND START ALL OVER AGAIN AT OUR AGE,.....FOR THE ONE YOU LOVE?
YES, I WOULD GIVE UP EVERYTHING FOR LOVE!
NOT MY POSSESSIONS
NOT MY JOB
NOT MY FAMILY CLOSENESS
HE/SHE WOULD HAVE TO COME TO ME
NOT WILLING TO GIVE UP MY SECURITY FOR LOVE
COMFORTABLE WITH BEING ALONE
TOO RISKY
AFRAID OF REJECTION AND LOSING EVERYTHING

Can I phone a friend?

This question would have been easy 10 or 20 years ago! I'd have said "yes of course I would!

Now, I really dont know! I think I probably would, but it would be a very gradual process happening naturally over time.

Katie, yes, you can call a friend and get back to me anytime!

No! My family is too important - I think if it was real, sincere, deep, abiding love - I wouldn't be asked to.


moon2u replies on 8/5/2006 3:29 pm:
Mary, all these things would have to be discussed with your partner
and if he loved you and wanted you to be happy, he would understand
that you need to be close to your family.

Love is compassion for the other person
Love is not greedy
Love is not selfish

mooni....I would do this and more if it were neccessary to be with the one I love...that is why I voted for the first choice.

And since my love came here....we are sure that we will be going back to her country to live happy and content...as much as we can be and want to be.

Ted thankyou for your comments and the two of you show us that it is possible to find someone to love here on SFF. After all many relationships seem to have been spawned right here.

It really is amazing.

Definitely No! I am used to being alone and even though I do get lonesome at times, there is absolutely no willingness in me to trade one kind of love for another. I understand this is a subjective answer, but I love my kids, and my grandkids too much to give them up for any man's love. I could easily have a part time love relationship where I would share my time between loves, but more than that would not work for me. Forced or compelled to choose, the man would lose unless he was in a position to come to me.


moon2u replies on 8/6/2006 7:50 pm:
Barbie, I think there are lots of men who are understanding enough to realize that women love their families too.

and I was quite content being alone and never felt lonely.

I was happy with what I had.

But it is funny how easily your life can change so quickly.

Possibly this will be happening in the near future. I have some antiques that have been in my family for my whole life, would want those. I could find some sort of work, my family would only be a few hours by plane or they could drive. It is something to work out, there has to be a give and take. This is really making me think! Ann


moon2u replies on 8/6/2006 8:05 pm:
Hello Ann, I appologize for taking so long to answer the comments

doing nights is mixing me up a bit

well I think two people who love each other can work those kind of things out. If something is important to your partner you would want them to be happy. And we all have certain sentimental little things we cannot give up. lov emoony good luck to you and your special guy.

Love your question, Moon. . . I voted yes. That's assuming it really is for Love and not for Infatuation. . . Love comes from the soul, infatuation from the ego and we often fooled by the latter . . . . There is nothing else more important in this lifetime than to Love and be loved. I've achieve one of my greatest desires and experienced the greatest of loss and sacrafice. I am comfortable being alone. It's a question of wanting, not needing. And the loving union of two souls is what I truly WANT to experience in life.

Take care,
B. (TheMermaid50)


moon2u replies on 8/6/2006 8:11 pm:
mermaid, I agree with you, it is a question of wanting not needing

I was perfectly happy living alone or so I thought

and yes, anyone could be fooled by infatuation. So would you say that
having a long courtship and getting to know each other is the wiser
choice?

I think you are right, the loving union of two souls is what most of us want. bravo nice post mermaid. ty so much love moony
