[quote=Anonymous]OP, this isn't meant to be nasty, but a love like that can exist, but you have to have that kind of relationship with yourself first. After years with someone who abused you for years, it's easy to think that you're not worth that kind of love, and you are.

I believe that kind of love exists, but only happens in the context of a relationship where you both feed it and nurture it. It would happen more often if people put the work in, but sadly, movies like to tell us that they "just happen". Yes, the serendipity of meeting the right person "just happens", but that doesn't move along unless both partners do the grunt work going forward.

OP, you're going through a lot of loss right now. Be gentle on yourself. I spent several years single and licking my wounds after a terrible, abusive relationship, and they turned out to be some of my best years so far. There is no love like coming into your own skin.

If you're looking for something silly but wonderful to read, I highly recommend "Succulent Wild Woman" by SARK. it's been out FOREVER, but it's a gem of a book, and she talks a lot about love and our expectations of it.

Good luck. [/quote]
