🌹🌹The Kind of Love That Hurts to Hope For🌹

🌹Sometimes I wonder if real love even exists, the kind that makes your heart ache, not from pain, but from being so full, so alive, so deeply connected that it feels like home.

That’s the love I long for. Not just surface affection or casual attention, but the kind of love that doesn’t waver when life gets hard. The kind that feels safe and passionate at the same time.

I'm still married, but seperated and that makes this even harder.. On one hand, the marriage is no longer alive—it’s just a tie on paper. On the other hand, it feels like a shadow that follows me everywhere!

I just want to be seen and loved as a woman again. But here’s my struggle… too many times, I’ve met men who seemed to understand that longing, only to use it for their own agendas. They pull me in with the sweetest words, say everything I’ve been yearning to hear, and for a while I start to believe. I let myself hope.

And then the truth comes out—their words weren’t about love at all. And I’m left with the same emptiness I tried so hard to escape.
It leaves me asking: why is it so easy for them to play on something so deep and sacred?🌹

I used to have this longing for so long. After meeting someone I thought felt the same , I now am scared or maybe gun shy? Feel that it’s beyond my reach. My heart feels hard or uncaring. Ok that’s my feelings for today.. I’m usually very hopeful and I used to be that person that felt like Love is just around the corner.. maybe it is.. I hope for you it is, and that it’s amazing.
The right kind of unconditional love and longing is out there somewhere. Even though I have been married before, my ex -wife had no idea what real love is. In her eyes, it was all materialistic. Even after 20 plus years, I am still trying to find it. Sorry to hear you are dealing with it. Sending nothing but good that you will find it again

I share your sentiment so much! Especially this...

And then the truth comes out—their words weren’t about love at all. And I’m left with the same emptiness I tried so hard to escape.

If only the energy of deep love could visually be seen, then maybe people could better understand how precious it is. To hold it carefully and not take advantage of it - or if that's not possible, to respect it by releasing it.

I as well, don't understand why it's "easy for them to play on something so deep and sacred?" Maybe because it feels good to receive it? But they don't understand the value of it? I don't know.

@VisionQuest Sadly we keep on falling into the same trap and so true it is difficult and exhausting 😔

@Logybear50 My last "relationship" not only killed our love but also destroyed a 32 year friendship.
Selfish, immature people need to jot date or come with a warning label!

@VisionQuest I agree with everything you said.
Starting again is not always a bed of roses unfortunately. I wish you well finding that special person. It's not easy but i think it's worth the adventure. If you are interested in just talking , venting or just sharing experiences, feel free to talk/yell at me.I have broad shoulders and will not judge 🙂

Oh trust me true love does exist as I've experienced it the same type of love you're describing the kind that makes you feel so full and so grateful and so satisfied

@megank2785 You give me hope 🌹
it only took me 50 years to find it. wishing you the best of luck.

I had that love once, and it destroyed me.
Does it exist in a pure form?
