Is It Worth It?

The reason I see a connection between the two types of love is because eventually couple love can lead to the creation of a family, hence family love. When you marry someone, you are adding them to your family, albeit they're the only family member you should be having sex with.

....unless you're a redneck family and your wife is your cousin AND sister as well.

Superslug is quite correct in his/her/its analysis of what one meant.

I appreciate you're not automatically assuming my gender (which is male), and I'm relieved to know that I'm understanding your points accurately.

With us both being North Carolinians, we each see this far more than we should!

Everyone breaks up sometime. It's just the cycle of life! It's painful and it sucks, but do you think it is still worth it to fall in love again? Or have you been burned so badly that you would rather be alone than risk getting your heart broken again? I already know the answer from some people here. *cough*simondarkshademarinecorps*cough*

I guess it depends how much stock you put into that sort of thing. If it drives you to the point of suicide or madness, not worth it. If you can fall in love and leap back out like most people change their shirt, go for it. I'm in the 'rather be alone' category. At least for right now. Maybe someday I'll have a different outlook, but right now, it's pretty useless to me.

Bingo.

When you wish you had it, it's entirely worth the risk.
When you just lost it, it wasn't worth it.
When you have time to move on and look back on it, then it can go either way...

Well. . . I always swore I would only get married once. Once. Cuz I thought that I would marry and stay married. Well, (as of today) it's been nine years. . . so far so good. We have our ups and downs. But even on the talk of divorce, I never think of going out and finding someone else. I mean, I might go out with girls again if I ever divorce my wife. . . but consider another relationship as deep as this? Nah. . . I'm not cut out for it. So now I say that I'll only get married once, but for different reasons.

A very wise statement.

Evie, men are like all other male animals. We have an instinct to reproduce ourselves and enjoy the proccess in which it is done (I know, but by choosing my words differently I would probably be banned). Making a girls fall in love with us is the most efficient way to acheive that instinct.
Also, humans, as evovled animals, feel an emotion towards one another, and our instincts tell us that we must have a "special one". Therfore, most of us will always keep looking for that someone, unless we were scarred pretty bad from from our previous experiences(such as a divorce), in which case overrides our instincts.

That's how I see things anyway (But I am more on the emotional part than the sexual one, So Evie, maybe you and I........... just kidding!)

I don't know. Chances are, I'll get rejected before a relationship will start...so that's a shortcut!

 

[Aphex_Twin]

Yes, it's worth it... But I don't get too upset over break-ups as I know there's always another chance, usually, right around the corner... Oh, and there she is

Falling in and out of "love" is a natural healthy process. You go through good times and you go through bad, it's all part of the learning cycle we call life. Without the good and bad how are we expected to grow and mature?

It is well worth it.

It's worth it I'd say. Unless, you go into deep depression and get completely anti social

That statement sums up my thoughts more or less

Though I disagree slightly to the wasn't worth it part.
Sometimes, it is not meant to be

Smaas is right. Look at me for christ sake.

it ok to be in love but you should try to keep from falling . it's the falling part that hurts

 

[Esckey]

No hurts to much

Not necessarily true.

 

[Benderino]

Well, after my last breakup, I of course swore "em" off forever...

Now, of course, I'm with a new girl and things have obviously changed.

I guess I'd say just to go with the flow at at such a you age as some of us, we shouldn't take things so seriously. Friends before girlfriend, that's my new motto, I suppose. In other words, as long as the relationship doesn't interfere too much with the time I would normally spend with my good pals, then it is ok.

On a side not, girls can be very fun too

Well, there are some people who marry the first person they date. But that is pretty darn rare.
