Getting up on a morning letting the other have a lie in
Anyone remember these?
.....is meaningful when it's unconditional and everlasting
Love is first and foremost what I feel for my family and pets 
very close second is the love I have for my friends

in terms of romantic love.... I think where MrDitts & I are right now says alot.
We are getting right on each others nerves... big time! I think we are both permanently walking round corners and doing the fists at the temples and silent howl thing (like the painting The Scream).
BUT... it changes nothing. in between this hissing at each other... we then have random and bizarre normal conversations...
Its hard to articulate... but in any other relationship I would have started to consider dumping them as soon as things didn't go my way. It never crosses my mind, not cos of day to day irritations anyway.
Its not as flamboyant or as showy as other fast paced rollercoaster relationships I have had... its him making me noodles without me even asking him too... its him taking something that is stressing me out off my hands... to my shock & amazement... its that he still thinks I am drop dead gorgeous... even when I look like crap!
Its that he came into our lives .... committed to me and my kids... and has, however tough it has got.... never questioned his committment to them. To the extent where he did not want children of his own cos he couldn't bear for my two to feel they would be inferior or loved less by him!

ditty....that's lovely 
we used to get 'love is...' hankies for my mum and dad for their anniversary...they're divorced now 
He's still getting on me tits at the moment though! 
We need a holiday.. or a break away together.... some us time. It ain't gonna happen any time soon though.
HOWEVER... he is on a course next week in Wales... so a bit of apart time may do the trick too.

It's obviously the real thing ........at least to outsiders looking in.He sounds absolutely lovely
Against the grain I know, but I'm quite cynical about so-called love. I have been married 3 times and none of them seem to have been the right thing. Alternatevly, I might be a useless broad.

or... and its a cliche... but you haven't met the right one yet.Throughout my family & friends I was the one who everyone assumed would never marry. Who's love life was like a never ending episode of Eastenders....
If I had met MrDitts in a more conventional setting (we met online).. then I wouldn't have looked twice at him.... and saying that.. the chances of us ever being in the same place would have been nil.
Twas a massive fluke we stayed in touch (we used to talk online... then I broke my arm so didn't bother logging on for a year.... one evening I started going through old email accounts & Chat IDs deleting them. I had the MSN account open for 2 or 3 mins and was about to dereg it when I box flashed up on my screen saying "hello stranger"... so very nearly missed him altogether!)

Love is.........a big fat lie
To me, loves is nothing like the fairytales or films. It's the day to day grind. It's appreciating the little stuff and the big stuff your partner does for you - and letting them know it.
Mr. Q has had to take on a lot over the past couple of years with me. He's held the bowl while I vomited my guts out. He's gone to work and then come home to cook because I was unable to -then did the washing up and the washing and the cleaning. For me, that's REAL love.
Now that I am better, I'm able to do more of the cooking and stuff, and he is so appreciative of everything that I can do now. I still can't do it all, but knowing that he has been there when I needed him most and that he will always be there is all that I need.

Love is being there for that person when they need you and them being there for you as well.
I never thought I would find true love, had relationships that one way or another went bad and thought that was my destiny, then my hubby literally walked into my office and that was it, friends at first, then went for a drink and that was it... He says he fell in love at first sight and spent more money on his car than he needed to to see me more often!!
Sometimes I could wring his neck - he is so laid back he could fall over, but he is my rock, he proved that when my aunt was diagnosed with cancer a few years back and I nearly fell apart and through my own illness when I was convinced I had cancer as well, helping me, telling me it would be ok and that I was not to give in even if it was the worst. He cooks for me on a bad day, even though he works himself, buys me little presents and brings me flowers and tells me nearly every day that I am beautiful (
) I don't tell him enough I suppose, but it is not my way, my mum never said it to my dad in my hearing and never said it to me.
I couldn't imagine my life without him now and I do love him so much, as Suzi says it is not the fairytale, it is the day to day stuff that is the most important thing, the little things that they do for you and what you do for them, even if it is washing his disgusting socks!! I do not know how they get so disgusting, he has a fresh pair every day, his snoring and channel hopping when I am trying to watch something. I love him anyway despite all that - he is my perfect man.

A concept that we can define any way we wish.
Love is......CHOCOLATE <3
"The state of being in love (what is sometimes known as romantic or obsessive love)is a refinement of mere lust that allows people to home in on a particular mate. This state is characterised by feelings of exhilaration, and intrusive, obsessive thoughts about the object of one's affection. Some researchers suggest this mental state might share neurochemical characteristics with the manic phase of manic depression. Dr Fisher's work, however, suggests that the actual behavioural patterns of those in love â such as attempting to evoke reciprocal responses in one's loved one â resemble obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD)."

That accounts for a lot.

love is ...unexplainable to me really lol
though it's the little things that matter. for example my OH never buys me big gifts or flowers (not that i like flowers lol), he isn't that romantic...but he can sense when i am having a bad day and goes to the shop and buys me chocolate
shame i'm a diabetic now though
