mywreckedworld54 Posted July 11, 2011 Posted July 11, 2011 My mother and I had a conversation about some life long friends of hers (I knew them of course) that were much older than her and much much older than I. Well the wife of the couple passed away very recently, say 3 months ago or so. Before that they had always been happy and healthy, and one day out of nowhere she just passed away out of the blue. After that for the old husband pretty much all together gave up, quit working on the ranch, went into a nursing home and passed away JUST TODAY. My belief is that he died of a broken heart, because they could not find cause of death just yet. The point being is this, what is the point of ever even being in a relationship, being married, falling into this falsity that we call "love"? No matter what happens sooner or later you are going to get hurt just like the old man did. He had lost his will to live because his wife had died. My mother even said he told his family and the people at the nursing home that. We believe in "love" ever too much and it repeatidly *****s all over our hearts until we eventually die from it. "Love" in the end kills us all, we are just too stupid to realize, and I was until now.
Tayla Posted July 12, 2011 Posted July 12, 2011 So be it for you. May Love never ring upon your heart, May you grow old with no memories of kids or friends,May you carry the burden of bitterness for it shall be your fortress. Then when you are done being angry or hurt from whatever happened in your past, come back here and proclaim just how wonderful life can be when you grew up and learned that LOVE is ....taking a risk for....again and again and again....
Author mywreckedworld54 Posted July 12, 2011 Author Posted July 12, 2011 Oh take a risk for it? Take a risk for it huh?! I have again and again, and every time again and again same results! It never fails no matter what, so yes I guess so be it then I really DGAF anymore, I can't hardly type the word love anymore because I do not want to speak or type or think about something that DOES NOT EXIST.
lonelynyc Posted July 12, 2011 Posted July 12, 2011 Do you know why we perpetually involve ourselves in relationships despite all the heartache and grief... because "we need the eggs." Watch Woody Allen's "Annie Hall" and you'll get a very refreshing and helpful perspective on the pitfalls and ultimate triumph of love as something to continue to strive for. Mind you, Woody had this mentality and insight well into his 40s, which is something worth considering... especially if you're still young. It's never too late to find the right one, and at the end of the day, would avoiding love forever be worth it? We take risks because we have to.

We take risks because we have to. well put. and I would like to add that taking the risk although has it's downfalls (breakups/lost love) the benefits outweigh the risk. yes me and my ex broke up, lost a love that I truly thought was going to last a lifetime. But just because we broke up I don't resent those 3.5 years that I spent with her. those were some of the best years of my life and if I could have a do over I would do everything in the same fashion because those 3.5 years outweigh the breakup, no contest there.

When a person cannot love them self or accept the facts of life (and love), then its best for you to deny that it exist. So let me pose to you then, if love doesnt exist, then what are you ranting about? Seems silly to me that someone would come on here to rant about a fictional matter as you so perceive. I personally LOVE my children, LOVE my life and LOVE being ALIVE to experience life, so I think I'll mosey along and LOVE the laughter from hearing my grandson tell a silly joke. Ciao!

I agree with you there. However, there are things I probably would have done differently. Even if it still meant breaking up all over again, I'd still do it again. I was with this person for three years. However, the pain will most likely last a few months at best.

She was with someone else by the end. He met up with her, but didn't get her back though. They met up, chatted and then he watched her leave.
