I imagine him as a geriatric senior citizen. sometimes I see him as frail, some times over weight but he’s always bald with false teeth and lots of wrinkles and faded tattoos.
I feel a protective empathy and love for the idea of him as an old person. there is also a great longing to be old with him (to grow old together) and to care for him. I feel protective and hopeful that we will have a long life together. I don’t feel grossed out or put off by the idea of him as a very old person.
I imagine if he were in an accident that caused him to lose all function (such as quadriplegia). Again the leading instinct is to care for him and make him comfortable. there is no “eww yuck” or “well you are no fun any more.” feeling at all.
TLDR: I get an overwhelming sense of love when I think of my partner as an old person and I know I would love him even if he became profoundly disabled or sick.
we’re still going strong. I also realised just recently , that his smile is the one that I like THE best on any human to look at ever. All time favourite, of Course I had to tell him right away as life is too short not to share that stuff.
True love is a high impact internal feeling. When you completely respect and admire the person you have chosen to be with, when you are excited to see their face and long for the touch of their hand. Being in love means always wanting them near you, with you, to hear, speak with, share everything th… Likewise, if you want to know if you are loved, ask them if they would take care of you if you became quadriplegic in old age. One ex-boyfriend’s grandfather had left his grandmother for her best friend when that happened, and he thought that was completely normal, especially since he made sure to t… Yes! I’m happy for you that he’s an ex
When I think of my partner that way - old, shriveled, and forgetting who I am… I cry. Not because he isn’t who he used to be, or that I'm stuck taking care of him. I’m okay with those, even nurturing. No, it’s because I still love him so muchand he doesn't remember.
This is eye-opening.
Love this one, it really helps to decide if you love someone deeply:) thank you saved my relationship:)
You nailed it! Couldn’t have said it better. When you love someone, you can’t even imagine wanting to go through the bad times with someone other than them. That’s how I feel about a certain someone.
That reminds me of mom and Dad.they grew old together ,dad got sick but mom took care of him til he passed over. She stayed and loved him,and still to this day .GODLOVE HIM my father
That is a good way to look at it. I’ve been lucky enough to find someone I feel the same way about and when you truly find the love of your life you can overlook the physical things that may come with time. When you put someone else’s happiness and wellbeing ahead of your own I think it’s a good sig… I have never had a monotonous life with the love of my life, even after more than 30 years. That too is possible.

True love is such a sacred gift. A feeling of absolute true, 100%, unwavering, unconditional respect, admiration, gratitude and love. A love that is all consuming, exciting and passionate. An inner feeling of completion, fullness, comfort. But… Nothing is perfect; not days, not health, not jobs, not… Thank you, I needed to hear that today.
I feel that if a person is truthful and feels this way without any hesitation. Absolutely, true & real love,, the real thing. My x sig. Other, very beautiful, put together total woman, though no one is perfect n arr all think different. She said i fluctuate weight in school year with kids in school.… spot on….true love knows no boundaries and time only increases your feelings, especially if there are health issues!
Can’t agree with this more. I feel the same way with my husband. 8 years and still get butterflies.
