I was married to my H for 33 + years living with him & looking back, I realize that I NEVER loved him....respect issues before the marriage destroyed any love I might have felt & the fact that he wasn't capable of changing, love NEVER grew like it possibly could have.

LOL...I got a message just a month ago from a guy I went to high school with back in 1967-1970.....he commented that he had loved me back in high school but was afraid to tell me ....how can you love someone you don't even know.....it's definitely NOT the kind of love you can base a relationship on......I could see if he'd said...he was attracted to me.....but LOVE .....I think NOT......seems like he still might not know the true meaning of LOVE IMO.
