I am fairly new to this site and really getting a lot from it. I'm healing right now from a very unhealthy relationship and have been struggling as of late. This article really opened my eyes. Quote "When you’re thinking about Barbie or Ken and have knots in your stomach, that’s neediness. It’s NOT LOVE." Wow, does that resonate!! I've been struggling to define what I've been feeling lately and that one sentence did the trick. Thanks! Great article. I am fairly new to this site and really getting a lot from it.

I have struggled with some of these emotions over the course of my adult life. The older I get, the more sensitive I become to societal pressures concerning marriage. It is almost as if it is more honorable to have married and divorced (at least once) than to never had been married. Most people go right to the " I wonder what is wrong with this guy" thoughts. I hear what you are saying about commitment and self-preservation and agree totally. Thanks for the article. Feel free to wite or post on my blog if you please..... thanks tim I really like this article. I have struggled with some of these emotions over the course of my adult life.

I would also add that love is non-reactive, that is, it doesn't not have any requirements but rather it loves just for the sake of loving (well I suppose that would be unconditional love).
