Do you feel that you are currently loved by people in your life? How many and what are the relationships?
In your life, how many people do you feel have truly loved you (as opposed to saying they love you - let me give a couple of examples) . . .
In my younger years, a few men professed their "love" for me, but when I dissected the relationships I realized they either felt they loved me because they were sexually attracted to me or they felt I boosted their image in someway or something to that effect (as opposed to truly loving me - my personality and spirit - many of those people were not even curious about my spirit - the body or young, hot image or surface attraction was really all there was).
If I were not so analytical, I would say that many men have loved me, but it really is not true.
And did your parents love you? I think only one of mine did.
Do your children love you or if they are young children, are they like pets who love the person who feeds them?
How many people truly love you for who YOU are? How many now and how many in your entire life?
I would say that very few people have truly loved me out of a big bunch that would say they did.
I believe "actions speak louder than words," and most often, people don't act really loving in my realm.
How 'bout you?
I've gotta start out by saying my Mom who I lost in 2000 . I had the best Mom to walk the face of the earth. Anyone and everyone that knew her agrees with that statement. I miss my Mom.
Alarge family of 3 boys and 3 girls. All 5 of my siblings have proven their love to me at some point in my life and I've proven my love for them also. I value my family more than most folks I know.
My Dad is a hard man.
My Daughter and my Granddaughter love me for real although sometimes it's tough to tell with your children.
I found TRUE love in my second marriage. It's really hard to put that feeling into words because sometimes it feels intangable. We talk about it though. We talk about truly loving eachother and how it feels. I'll tell you it's an awesome feeling to be in true love with your wife. My 1st marriage was over 18 years and I never had the kind of feelings for my 1st wife that I have for my wife now. I guess that's my fault though.
I also have a bunch of aunts and uncles and there's a couple of them i'd have to count.
I really can't put a number on it but I think it's a fairly large number. At least that's how it feels to me. I think my Mom taught us with her actions and words to love eachother and also to love everyone. I fall short of the "love everyone" part but I sure do love my family.
I had a really bad motorcycle accident many, many years ago. When tradgedy happens you can sometimes learn how many people in your life actually love you. Through that ordeal I learned how much my family really loves me. My ex-wife and her family, not so much.
i'm reading other posts and realizing I forgot God. Wow that's not too cool
My husband, my churn, my mom, my brother, various other relatives(but not all), a couple of friends, God. Although my life has not been perfect the people who do love me show me in big ways everyday and I feel very blessed to have them in my life.

The underlined in your post reminds me of a great quote:
"True love is like ghosts, which everybody talks about and few have seen."
Another great one relating to your topic is this:
"There is no disguise which can for long conceal love where it exists or simulate it where it does not."
I feel I was the least loved offspring on both sides.
I was the only child produced from a very bad, short-lived marriage.
Thankfully, I have a multitude of friends and family members who love me.
I have parented opposite of the way I was parented.
My children love and respect me; as I do them!

imcurious - What I'm trying to say is this: Just because your past romantic loves didn't last forever doesn't mean they never really loved you. Even though the relationship wasn't sustainable, their love and appreciation of the beauty in you may have been sincere and genuine at the time.
yeah. some of us have high standards of what to call "love" but it is true, there are different forms of it
in my opinion, love is unconditional love. which i have from my family. no guy has ever loved me for me and thats why i did not get with them

no offense intended - but why did u marry the 1st one?

i was gonna save her from her horrible, mean, abusive family and bring her into my wonderful, loving, happy family. knight in shining armour syndrome i guess. i can honestly say i gave it my best shot for 5 years but the next 13 years i was just going through the motions. no offense taken by the way.

I have never been so sure about the guy I am with. I am young but that doesn't matter. It's all about where you are in life. My father has been through things he shouldn't have to deal with with me. He loves me unconditionally. My mother claims she loves me, but she's a drunk who has never done anything to support me in my life. She seems to hate me honestly. I have had a few relationships I claimed I loved them and they cliamed the same, but that was "puppy love" I guess, I think I am old enough to say that Alex, my boyfriend since October 3rd, 2009, has loved me truly. He has grown up and changed so much since we have been together, as have I. We are happy, and as long as we both don't change our minds on what we want in life, there's nothing that can tear us apart. I think that's true. So, my father and Alex.
