Love is fickle as hell and I probably define it differently than you do. I've been engaged for over a year now and we are in no hurry to get married in spite of that. We have a very symbiotic relationship. We work together. Frankly, if I hadn't toughened up and focused on myself, this probably would have never happened. I'm not romantic. I'm not interested in making huge proclamations of my affections or receiving flowers and jewelry. If I am bought food, a game, or cosmetic product, then I'm happy. I don't care if my birthday or anniversary is forgotten. **** happens and I will act on it myself by buying things for the occasion or making a meal.
I don't define anything as a comparison to films and music. I make my own definition. I think that is what makes it so rich.
