Ok how many times have you truly been in love not this puppy love stuff but actual love? Is being in love meaning that you can't live without that person? Your world revolves around this person or is this just being infactuated with them? Telll me your opinion on this subject. I believe that you can fall in love numerous times but you can also fall out of love over and over again. The person that you believe you were once in love with you could despise now, or deep down you could still be in love with that person and the person you believe your in love with now is just a rebound, hoping that onw of these days that one person your in love with will come back into your life. Tell me what you believe and some of your stories

I have been truly in love once...with my husband. There were times before that where I thought I was in love, but I think I always knew deep down that it wasn't real love. When I was really in love, I definitely knew it. It isn't infatuation and it isn't so much that you can't live without the person, it's just that you don't WANT to go on living without that person...at least that's how it was for me. I think that people can fall in love more than once, but I'm not so sure about the falling out of love over and over again. I think that when things happen, people may separate from a spouse or partner, but I think that people fall out of love less often than we think. A lot of times, people still love each other (whether they want to admit it or not) but they couldn't stay together for some reason.

I have been truly in love twice. My first love was my high school sweetheart. I stayed in love with him and married on the rebound from him. During 28 years of my first marriage I was truly in love with my HS sweetheart. I guess in a way I will always love him. He found me after so many years and told me he had always loved me. Since I had always loved him, I believed him. I had already decided that I couldn't go on married to a man who did not love me (we were friends, though) and so I left for my HS sweetheart. After several months, he decided he absolutely could not leave his wife even though they had been in the process because he was worried that she would hurt herself (manic depressive). So he absolutely broke my heart and I thought I'd never recover. As I said, I will always love him in a way. But a couple of years ago I met the most amazing man on match.com. I was just looking for companionship but after writing for awhile, when we met face to face it was love at first sight. We married on September 28, 2007. He

Somehow I got posted without finishing. As I was saying, my husband is the most wonderful man in the world and I am head over heels in love with him. I can't imagine life without my sweetheart.

I would have to say twice. I have actually truely been in love twice. With my ex-boyfriend who I was with for 10 months, but he decided we wouldn't work and now with the man I am seeing now. He is simply wonderful and I cannot imagine my life without him right now.

love pics - it's nice to be inlove...
I've been in love so many times.. like 4 times.. I had this 3rd ex-bf that i'm thinking i can't live without him, he's the father of my baby actually, it's painful experience because he leaves us when i'm still pregnant. Yah, i agree that i can fall in love a hundred times but also fall out of love over and over again. At this moment, i don't have a boyfriend, we've been apart just a couple of days, yes, i cried but because of all of the sad and pain and hurt i've been experienced before, maybe i'm tough enough to face the world again..

i'm so sorry to hear about that I'm glad that someone can relate to me on this subject. I also believe that the pain we endure in life is what makes us stronger and able to cope with this life best wishes to you and your baby, your baby is truly adorable!!!

i once loved someone, and we both knew that we were meant and destined for each other. yes, my world and life revolves around her. you wouldn't believe that our love story seems to be the continuation of my mom's relationship and her uncle when both my mom and her uncle were still in college and both of them are single. we laugh at it when both of us knew that. i was her knight in shinning armor and she was my sleeping princess. i can't live without her, and that's what i want to believe in when she was still around. i am the only one who can tell the story about us now. we were destined and meant for each other however it was short lived. she passed away recently. when i said earlier that i can't lived my life without her, yes i mean it! i was almost on the point of breaking down but then i realize and i remember the words i promised to her when she was still alive and that is "THAT I AM GOING TO LIVE MY LIFE TILL THE VERY END".
