Romantic Love Relationships: I gave her all of me!
Male writer: Age 45 - 54

I didn't know what limerance was until today. I knew I loved being in love and loved loving. I've also had the wonderful experience of experiencing a greater euphoria with each new relationship. Never believing that I could ever be as much in love as I was. Yet each successive relationship has led to and even greater love.

Now I'm at the point in my life where I can't wait for my next relationship because that woman will be even more remarkable than the last. And I can't even conceive of any woman being more perfect for me than my last love.

She was the woman God had created from my fantasies. She was more woman than I ever felt I deserved. She was everything I thought a woman could be but it didn't mean she had no flaws.

Not giving me the love I gave her made her less than perfect. Not being the woman who would love me as deeply as I loved her was another. We both wanted children yet she was unable to conceive.

Often she would wake up crying and tell me that she wished she could conceive my child. In my heart of hearts was the same desire but that was never something I tried to convey. Indeed I was satisfied thinking that we would have someone else carry our "ozum." Something she said she was more than willing to do. Her best girlfriend had volunteered her uterus prior to our meeting but later had to rescind her offer because of her new love relationship.

But how is it possible for someone who wanted to marry you and claimed to love you forever could just decide that you were now someone she no longer could stand? That all your actions were actions of disrespect? That any discussions of differences to be resolved were "your problem" and not "our problem?" How can love turn so quickly to hate?

I believe in love and passion. I believe it can last a lifetime with a lifetime commitment. Two people have to be committed to the idea of an intense and passionate loving relationship. To a growing passion and not a waning one.

Every day I could find out something about her that would make me love her more. Every discovery, good or bad added to my heart strings. As much as I loved her I couldn't wait to love her more. There appeared to be no end to the depth of my ability to love her. I was only limited by my own imagination. I thought in a lifetime I might have enough time to show her as much love as any human being could give to the other.

Yes, I know "we" aren't perfect her and I. But to me perfection was something your strived to achieve. There was nothing in my past that I had to retain that was greater than my love for her, except my dignity.

I can't believe that you'd have to give up dignity to love.

Love doesn't ask you to relinquish dignity. Love gives love and expects only love in return.

I gave her all of me. There were limits to her love to me.

She was the greatest love of my life - to date.

Oh, but hurry tomorrow! "
