...They say is driven by jealousy, wanting to control another,low self esteem,lies,alcoholism, possessiveness, cheating and violence.Most people ignore the early signs of any of these instances directed at them during a realationship,how much are you prepared to fogive a partner if any one of these traits is directed towards you?

Following the "for better or worse" path is soul destroying.

I forgave all of that when I was married...then I came to my senses. If any of these show up now, I turn and walk away. I don't need to feel like that again, the depression and all that went with it when my ex acted like that.

I thought so too until it was over. I still feel very full of love and know I have so much passion left untapped. As one door closes, another really does open.

That being said, I will NEVER marry again.

I forgive jealousy because it shows the person cares about you . People do not get jealous about all people but about those they love in one way or another . Also I forgive possessiveness as it shows care as well . I will not tolerate cheating at all . Also violence is a no no no . Alcoholism ?. No .Low self esteem and trying to control can change with true love .

Hmmmm..... blind love...turning a blind eye to poor behaviours because of love?

Accepting the flaws because of love?


Or loving blindly?


I have a fridge magnet that is quite deep if one takes the time to ponder it...

"Fall in love with your eyes closed"

At first it appears to be foolhardy.... that shallow, silly, blind infatuation with an ideal.....and not remotely a sibling to love, which is being referred to here...

then, if one ponders a little deeper.....close your eyes, and hear the other heart...without the superficiality of how they physically appear....let not your eyes rob you of a beautiful heart...


Bonny....I don't think love is blind....I think people are.....so wrapped up in WANTING love, they settle for less....so desperate to fall in love with the idea of love...they make poor choices.

Through the years many times I have over looked a lot of things and forgave others for certain things. But cheating, being abusive, whacked out on drugs, or if they were and alcoholic those are the things I could not tolerate from anyone...I have also found out as I get older I do not look for the same thing as I did when I was younger. Now it is more the way the person treats me and makes me feel. Can they grab my attention and hold it, do they have a great personality and sense of humor......but I still tend to look for that smile that makes the eyes light up when they look at me.......you see the older I get I want that one to live the rest of my life with.....and have found out if they are not what I'm looking for I would rather stay single for I can still enjoy my life without a man......bigsmile

The "cheating" would seal the deal for me. I could handle and would deal with all the others except for that.
