I Believe That Love Comes Unexpectadly

Please Give Me Your Opinion... There is no doubt that I am afraid of commitment..I have worked long and hard for what little i have accomplished. It is scary to me to give it all up considering the divorce rate..I ran across this online and thought it summed up exactly what many of us feel..Please give me your opinion...

“When someone is available and decent,” Page explains, “something inside us knows [this person] can get to our nest, our soul — the place where we care the most and can be hurt the most. And our unconscious gets panicked.” If you find yourself breaking up with someone awesome for no good reason, check yourself; you might be acting out of fear. After all, real love is a big deal. It involves a leap of faith, and that can be a scary thing. Those who give in to the Wave fall out of love before they even give themselves a chance to fall properly in love, and that’s kind of sad.

I'm learning (even at 47), love is a job. It takes hard work, sacrifice and compromise. Once it blows open the door and sweeps you off your feet, you really can't sit still and expect that everyday. Blowing open doors and the feet sweeping thing, those are special effects in a big budget movie. They are used to enhance what is already there.
