Are your experience with love mostly blissful or painful?

Love. Some meet their perfect soul mate in high school and marry young. They may stay happily together for a lifetime. Other people however have been betrayed many times - spoiled relationships or three or more divorces. Some people have luck with love, others don't. Some adore love, others loathe it.
Are your experiences with love mostly positive or negative? Have you found your true love or are you jaded from to many burns? Or maybe you have a general mix of successes and failures with love?
If successful, how did you meet your special someone and what holds you together? If unsuccessful, what drove you apart from your last lover (if you don't mind talking about it) and how do you feel about love today?

I guess I was jaded as a little girl because I did dream of a Prince but I never thought I would meet him nor that I Was Suppose to. So I didn't even try at love. But a few years ago I met this guy and he said he loved me and I thought I loved him but soon after he disappeared and I was heart broken. With help I mended and son after that , my guy found me. Unlike my ex, he didn't tell me he loved me Until we were close friends. he soon told me he had been in love with me for the longest time! This time Feel right. We got to friends and then close friends and then romance was added to that. He is my best friend and what we have is mutual. I'm amazed. So I guess had both experiences , painful and the blissful.

I am glad your fairy tale had a happy ending! I love how you build your second romance off of friendship - there is really no better foundation. You got the chance to really know him without putting your heart on the line. I wish the best to your current relationship! :)

Well I can say all blissful relationships go through some sort of pain in them. I seem to get into relationships that are more painful than blissful but I still try to have hope in them.

I've only had one relationship and it was that perfect soul mate during high school and marrying young kind. Most of it seemed blissful and it lasted 9 years. But it came crashing down at the end and we divorced because I got panic/anxiety disorder. Now that it's over I can see clearly that the marriage triggered my anxiety but when I was in it it was blissful. Today, I feel that I can see love more realistically.

Hi Awinds, Well its true, some have good experience others have painful experience on love. But love isn't painful, its only the people make it painful. I feel my love is blessed and lovable without much painful experiences with our beautiful kids! Cheers!

I have had a bitter sweet experience with love. I have been in a relationship once and it took a long time for me to recover. I loved him a lot and thought he did the same but something happened and we had this nasty relationship. I was so broke and if it weren't for my friends I don't think I would have made it. It's been about 4 years now and this are better now. We don't talk anymore or are in touch with eachother buut that's fine.
Haven't had another lover besides him but I'm hopeful and hopefully I'll meet the one soon

I can say that I've been through a blissful relationship and ended up in a painful way. Today, I'm in a relationship but I'm not expecting that we'll end up together. All that is in my mind is to just enjoy the moment that we are sharing. Spend time together most of the times and just be loyal to him as long as I can see that he's doing his part as well. For now, I'm happy being with him and I can testify that he loves me so much and can't let go of me. :) I just hope we'll end up together. :)
