What if you're a vegetarian?
Then you will never experience love

Love is different for different people. There's nothing wrong with not feeling like you can't live without him because clearly you can. Everyone can live without someone else. It is the choice to not live without them which is most powerful. Love is a choice and action. Feelings come and go and are not always an accurate depiction of reality.0 -

My grandmother has said something similar when discussing marriage. It seems pretty accurate in my experience so far.1 -

It's probably the first time a mod has commented on a post I've made without threatening an infraction. That's love right there
How long have you been married?2 -

I said something in another thread a while ago about how movies and books give us these exaggerated life experiences that, in reality, don't always/often occur.
You see it all the time - people fall madly in love and their whole world shifts and they think about each other 24/7 and their love is as deep as the ocean and blah blah blah. So if you don't experience this same thing in your own life it's hard not to feel let down sometimes even if what you do have is really good.
Yes, i think I saw your post a few days ago. I think you are on to something for sure. I definitely dont feel let down, i am happy with my choices and situation. I guess its just hard to not wonder "am I doing this right" as I go through life. But what is "right" anyways?0 -

That's hunger surely?
Same idea heh? Chemical reaction in the brain, compells you to satiate it, hits hard, slowly fades...
I could be wrong but this sounds more like lust to me....
Or being in love....which is more about the idea of the person/object0 -
