I Want to Be Loved

I´m aware we all do... I thought I´d be loved and cherished some 18 years ago when getting married...Not saying my husband doesn´t feel some kind of love for me but...the intimacy, the kind gestures are absent.

I can´t say he´s bad with me in other sense, but I do know I won´t be getting any kind of loving, sensual gestures from him...Just not the way he is, thinks, feels...I realized too late.

This whole love thing..., it's at best, complicated, at worst, a bag full of unfulfilled expectations. I think, and I say think because I'm certainly no expert, that one simply never knows where that initial rush of feelings will end up. It's unfortunately, a crap shoot. The best any of us can do is find someone who is honest, kind, and who meets, at least initially, our physical and emotional needs, wants and expectations. Then, time will tell.

Having to settle is sad, and who needs to be sad.
