Definition of Love

  The love I have for my children: I would do anything to protect them. I put them before my own needs and, without them, my life would be very dull and empty. They are at the very top of my list of priorities and if things aren't going well with them, everything else in my life suffers.   My partner: I would do almost anything for him, provided it doesn't effect my children in a negative way. I look out for him and I love to find ways to put a smile on his face. I feel a special connection and he completes me, however, even though I would be devastated should he choose to leave, I believe it's possible to have more than one soul mate so I would make sure my kids are ok first then pick myself up and have fun on the journey to find another soul mate (I know that sounds cold but it's true).   My friends: The love I have for my close friends is one where a favour is no problem at all, no matter how big. Anyone who mistreats them makes an instant enemy of me. My close friends are like family to me.   I'm not sure if that ansers the question, but I hope it paints a picture for you.

  My response then was -   "Too easy!!   Love is when you feel that the happiness and welfare of the object of your affection is more important to you than your own. That's how I feel for Jenny Lee. A decade later (give or take) and I still think about her all the time and can't wait for the end of the day to return to her."     Damn, I am a big softy, aren't I?

  Well, the only difference between my feelings for Jennylee and our kids is in the lust and sexual expression of it. My kids' welfare still comes before my own. I guess it comes down to how you prioritize. Jen and the kids are equal first, my parents second and myself third. I don't place myself above my sister but nor do I place her welfare above my own. I want what is best for her and would do whatever I could for her but not at any expense to my own welfare. Nor would I take from her. Same deal with my friends. I would not seek to compete with them to advance myself at their expense. I would help where I could and only accept help if it's not to their detriment.   Does that help???

  My kids: They are the top priority for me. Everything and everyone else (including me) is second to their well being. Love for my kids is unconditional. They bring joy to my life (and anxiety, stress and ... )A partner: Since I don't have one, life is good without one, but it would be better with someone I love. His effect on me would be to make me be a better person for having him in my life and vice versa. He would not complete me, as I believe I am complete as a person, but the thought of him would put a spring to my steps, smile to my face, twinkle to my eyes, further sway to my hips, etc. and I would have the same effect on him (hopefully not the swaying of hips bit :) ). I would be supportive and have his well-being at heart but not at the expense of my kids or myself - I expect the same from him, he would be supportive of me but not at his (and his kids (?)) detriment. And the added bonus, I get to have lots of sexy time with him Friends: I will be there for my friends but I would still have my own life to live.

  brain cells in our hearts, about 60% of the heart is not muscle but neural, this is the core of our emotional center (among other things)I heard a fascinating story a few years ago where a heart transplant recipient took on the donors love of a few things that shed never even liked before.This story led me to do a bit of research to get to the heart of the (grey) ;p matter and it really is a bit of an eye opener. <3

  Quoting 'tuscanred' A blow job while he watches the football?   I could be wrong   Is this a trick question?    lol...I don't watch footy But in all honesty, though, my friend and I were discussing the specific differences between the love we define that is for our kids, and that of relationships/friendships....how it differs, and what exactly are the specifics behind the feeling of being loved, or being able to conclude that we are IN love with someone. So I thought, why not to put it to the panel of experts?? I'm sure we all differ our views on what it means for us specifically, and how we define it so that we know what we have is actually love.

  different to falling in love.Falling in love can be a drug,an addiction to the rush of all those chemicals that kick in when you meet someone new and are overwhelming attracted to them.Love of course can grow from that and imo deep love will last until one of you is dead.I have met people in their 80s who have been togehther for over 60 years who have achieved this,but I have yet to have that personal experience.

  First of all: congrats on your taste in whiskey! I feel like I would do anything to make my husband happy. His happiness means more to me than mine... We are the closest of friends and share almost everything. I want to protect him and take care of him. I love the way our friendship and sexlife makes me feel. The sexual expression and interest is the biggest difference.   The love I feel for my family, is more of a protective and friendly type.
