Some people say you run for the hills; no one deserves a loveless relationship. Others said you need to stick it out, make a commitment to the other person. Others said love is a decision, and every morning you wake up, you have to choose to love the monster... err... person lying next to you.
Where do you stand? Can you "fall out of love?"
the phrase 'fall in love' has always irked me like a small pebble in a shoe. if you 'fall' into something, it sounds accidental, as if you weren't looking for whatever it is that you've found.
ReplyDeletei don't know about your experience with falling, but mine is rather negative, and always accidental.
i think that love isn't something that i want to chance to an accident of fate or some other random thing.
definitely more to my liking is the idea of choosing to love. when i choose to do something, not based on fickle emotions, but with my head fully in the game, then it is my decision. conversely, i cannot fall out of love, but choose to not love. which is definitely harsher than saying that you fell out of love.
this is what i believe, and while i have loved people in my life, i've never been married, so you can take it all with a grain of Himalayan pink sea salt! :-)
