Jealous, possessive love. Thankfully I've never been a victim of that. I define love as a need to ensure the beloved's happiness and well-being - I'm not happy unless she is.
Your definition of love and mine are the same Sbf. I am not possessive nor can I tolerate being around those who are. I was engaged to such a one many years ago and I got out when he said to me "I wish I could miniaturize you and carry you in my pocket". I'm not kidding. Wouldn't that terrify you? I've never forgotten it. Oy vey there are some really nutty folks out there who would think that was evidence of love. Thank you for your reply! :)
That's different. That is CONSENSUAL. Whether serious or joking. Jim and I have vowed that if one of us dies he/she will take the other along. We plan to live to our triple digits at least. It comforts us to be together Sbf. Now if I were dying would I really wish that he die too? No. Of course not. Nor would he want me to die if he were very ill. It's just something we say to each other because we really are so much happier together than we were individually before we met. We will have been together 20 years come September 1! He is 81 and I'm 79. We look forward to AT LEAST another quarter century together. And then we'll see how it goes! Then we will take it day by day! Thank you for your reply Sbf! :)
Of course there is that tj and also there are many different kinds/degrees of love as well. When people talk about "crimes of passion" I don't buy it. You do not destroy what you love for any reason. Such emotion is not love at all. It is lust and need and desperation. Thank you for your reply! :)
