I have no idea. I love my daughter, but my marriage sucks. No fighting, but no sex, intimacy. Wife works a lot. I honestly feel like a single parent.

Love is my teen DS and DH that will love waking up to the gifts and cards I just left on breakfast table. It's all in the presentation, just little gifts. They're both such big mushy babies. Also remembering my dad on this one year anniversary of his death. Another great man in my life. I'm very lucky.

Happy Valentine's Day DCUM

Warmth, encouragement, inspiration, care

Love is true intimacy, and intimacy to me means being able to be 100% myself and knowing I am loved.

Loving my man means that no matter what his faults may be, I want all his faults any day over not being with him.

Love is when I was in the ICU after almost having died from sepsis and my then SO brought me shampoo and helped me wash my hair in the sink.

Acceptance

I'm truly sorry that this is your experience. Yes, it really does.

Love looks like another classic ‘Vette added to my collection.

I feel loved when I rip through all four gears and hearing nothing but side pipe exhaust... No love shown here...

Love is acceptance of another person, even the parts you don’t like, without condemnation or a barrier in your ability to give with affection. It’s transforming together and finding new ways to fit. Reciprocated, it’s a gift.

I feel loved when my partner truly listens to me, and notices things I may not even notice about myself; when they consider me in decisions or choices because they care about how I may be impacted, big or small; when they share time with me, when they show affection physically, sexually, or maybe with occasional gifts.

Expressions of love can take a lot of forms, but for me — all comes down to the consistency over time in these expressions. Love is wanting to give some type of service to another person, by choice, in a way that is most meaningful to that person, and allows their true identity to be supported.
