    Eric Clapton captures it well in this song:

    Love is a homeless guy searching for treasure in the middle of the rain and finding a bag of gold coins and then slowly finding out they're all filled with chocolate and even though he's heart broken he can't complain cause he was hungry in the first place

    There’s some truth in here

    I have loved 3 times. Each one of them have been in different stages in my life. I dont open myself up to people and I'm not good at expressing deep emotions so when I do that's how I know it was love.

    Love is being in the ocean and feeling the subtle lift of a big wave right behind you. You're floating, riding the wave and it's a powerful force. When you're in love you don't care if they see your snarkalicious side or pouty baby side, you don't worry about anything frightening them away. You don't have to bat your eyeballs or be coy. You can look them directly in the eye and say whatever you want to. You can wad your hair up and wear a pair of your underpants on your head while you put your face on. Or not. You take the leap. Bare your soul. Go big.

    Howard Jones asked the very same question back in the 80s, He may be able to offer some advice. https://youtu.be/w34vnz_LEX4

    That's hunger surely?

    What if you're a vegetarian?

    Then you will never experience love ;)

    I dont know. I still dont feel like I have ever really "been in love". I am not trying to sound sad or anything. I care alot about my husband and definitely wouldn't give him up lightly, but I just have never felt that whole "i cant live without you" type feeling that maybe love is supposed to be. Or not. Shrug. I never wanted to feel that way either so maybe that is the problem.

    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.

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

    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?

    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?

    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/object
