🌹🌹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 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.

@StarLily So well said.
It really is sad and unfortunate that some people (far too many) take advantage of and manipulate love and emotion.
Most of the time it is pure selfishness.
Sometimes it is immaturity,
And sometimes they don't even know they're doing it.
Picking up the pieces and moving on is exhausting and difficult.

@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 not date or come with a warning label!

@VisionQuest I agree with everything you said.
@VisionQuest Amen to that!
