Real Love or Not?

I love my little patch of green grass and would not trade it...or him for anything at this point. I am the kind of woman that will fight til the bloody end to keep my marriage together...I made a comitment with him and intend on doing all I can to maintain it. We do have our typical problems right now that marriages tend to get, but I love him feircly, and just as much today as the day I fell in love with him. I have lived through many a difficulties and challenges in my life and have learned that the grass on the otherside is a mirage! And as far as the mindset of high school, what I meant was more about the way they just relaxe and let loose and have fun as friends in a kind of deep, fun, exciting and enticing world of thoughts in that close, special girlfriend way. So just relax and Take your mind off of finding someone all together..."when we stop looking"...thats when we find them.

Good Luck and Best Wishes to you Lauren

If you grass is getting brown, I say water it and take care of it before you walk over it to some other patch. Anyone thinking of getting out of a relationship should realize that it isn't so easy to find someone else, even if you think you "have" him.

Me, I'm a lovely patch of green grass that seems to lack access. Oh well.

In high school I didn't go out, so I definitely don't want to revist that mindset. Where is that Prince Charming already? I mean, Sir Nice.

I'm glad I was your first commenter.

We all love, want and need to get dressed up and go out and have a little fun from time to time, thats for sure! But I will let you in on a little secret...The first time I saw/met my now current husband, I thought he was a geek and a total jerk! Lol...he acted like he owned the entire place of employment! It took me a little while to warm up to him and several months to fall in love. But the person that I wrote this comment on, had been in a long term relationship and had been seing the other person for quite some time also, so I figured if they didnt know the answer by then...they must be in love or more in love with the long term comitted relationship, otherwise they would have left. Fortunately they chose to stay. I dont think it's rational to leave one relationship for another without first having time apart, otherwise you can fall into the rut Americans are so famouse for these days...always thinking the grass is greener everytime you fall into a relationship pitfall. But, thats just my opinion. Thank you Laura for reading my first blog post and commenting. I do hope you find more exciting men soon, if not...go out with a girlfriend, and put your mind sets in the mode that us girls had back in High School, that should bring some excitement to the table huh?

I think you definitely nailed it: if you're not sure, it's not it. This helps me with deciding whether or ot to go on a second or a third date with someone, if I'm trying to encourage myself to go rather than be excited, I know it's not it and it won't be it. Even if it's not "love at first sight" it will still probably be excitement or interest at first sight, something to go on and get dressed up for.
