FAN I'm losing faith in love

[Deleted]

Please tell me your personal love stories so my faith in love is renewed. In incredible detail with side stories if possible

[Deleted]

Well I love you.

So that's something.

I've never had a girlfriend and I often cry myself to sleep thinking of the emotional connections I will never have with people. My lack of love has left me an embittered husk, incapable of any true joy, with only my addictions to video games, pro wrestling, and grain alcohol to keep me going through life.

Love sucks. You show yourself off like a peacock trying to attract someone for what? Sex? Commitment? A sense of purpose? Its stupid, and the rules of which dating and love has been set are ridiculous if you look at them pragmatically. And if you do find the "one", which is highly unlikely that if in 9 billion people on this planet and one of them is the "perfect match" for you, the chick you met at the bar is going to be the "one", what is the end game? Pain. Either you break up, one of you leaves or one of you dies. Love is just setting yourself up for pain 50 years down the road. Also love is useless. Lets call a spade a spade, what does love do for a person financially, how does love get me into a better job? It doesn't.

Love is a drug. We need love. We need to be held, we need to be touched, we need to be needed, we need to be depended upon. Love corrupts your soul the second you even sniff at it. Even though my first taste of that sweet drug ended with my heart being destroyed I patched it back together and I ache for a hit. I date, I make myself into a better person in order to try and get love because I don't want to be without it any longer.

If love was a Vegas game the house would always win, but dammit if I wouldn't give my last penny for the chance to win that foolish game.

I got nothing.

Love is dumb.

If you don't have it, it's all you want.

If you do have it, it becomes something you take for granted.

We are we programmed to chase after such a fleeting, intangible thing?

[Mister Pigwell]

I love my lady. She's pregnant which will be my first to add to the collection of 2 step kids I already have.

So yeah it pretty much rocks to have a best friend built in and watch netflix and talk in the shower for an hour every night and hate all the same things.



Hating things is SO much better when you have a pessimist as backup.

My last girlfriend was a pillow. Not much for conversation, yet still comforting.

[BorneAgain]

Ah, you're suffering from classic Foreigner syndrome.

[shaker]

Nothing matters, there's no great purpose to life, there's no reason to seek love except to (hopefully) not die alone. Except you'll probably die alone anyway because all your friends and family will die before you, leaving you alone I this cold world.

Nah I'm just kidding love rocks and having a great relationship with your significant other can make your life complete.

[Sparkybob]

I'm so terribly lonely.

[Brood Lone Wolf Funker]

These are my contributions, I hate love personally

[Amazing Kitsune]

Love is worth it. I was somebody that was skeptical about it until I met my Wife. She was my first girlfriend, as a matter of fact. I never really bothered until I met her, because I didn't see the point of relationships and really only thought about myself. We hit it off as soon as we met and fell in love quickly. We dated for a year and then we got married. Our marriage has been the most rewarding thing I've ever done in my life.

I was previously one of those depressing people who would preach to you about the evils of marriage.

We've been happily married for about six years now and every day is better than the day before it. It takes work, like anything else worthwhile in life--but it's worth it.

Had a very breif romance in college. I was only there on a trial basis. She understood that. I never asked for her phone number. I am a moron.

Love is worth it when you find new levels of joy. Whether that joy is in pure lust, or with an asexual partner who likes closeness as the best intimacy, seven partners who all like drinking and playing Mario Party, or the trope-but-true romance and dedication to a single soul (if you believe in the soul)...or just realizing that your friends give you companionship that you never realized before...it's all love. (Now I feel like Ringo Starr).

Seriously, how many of us have felt and lost something we thought was pure bliss, then found another person (as a friend or as a partner) who manages to out do that? I'm not saying every week love is abound, but depending on your view on life things will come up.

It's hard, and it'll push you to your very limits sometimes, but love as a lesson in emotional survival and passionate reasons to not treat people like crap is damn good.

I love a few of my friends, I am deeply in love with my partner to a degree I didn't think possible a year and a half ago for several dozen reasons, and then that relationship came out of the blue to stop me considering suicide and renewing track marks, all stemming from a daft niche musical collaboration friendship so s'all good.

Life's inconsistency is reflected in love and companionship, but live in the moment and keep going, it's all we can do, and we'll feel stupid for it half the time, and fulfilled the other half. Personal growth and trying new things never gets boring.

Plus love's cheaper than cocaine. Remember that fact. Well unless your love is in escort services.

I had been in a tumultuous yr long relationship with a very bitchy high maintenance girl. We fought like two angry cats in a territorial dispute then we would make up with some of the best sex I have ever had(legit I have traveled around the world and hooked up everywhere, it was that good). But we cheated on each other, lied to each other and did deliberately mean things to hurt each other. It came to a head after I returned from a deployment and we broke up, got back together then fought like he'll until I was a broken man and no matter how hard it was to do, I finally left her to start over.

My sister saw how miserable I had been and tried to get me to go out with this girl she worked with. I stalled and hemhawed around until I agreed to go out once just to get my sister off my back. Then a day before the date I flaked out of it. The girl said she had something going on anyway. I went to my sister's to drink beer with my brother in law and I'll be fanned if the girl didn't show up. Wetalked, flirted and then she cornered me while nobody was looking and kisses me. Eight years later, that has been my last first kiss. We have three children, a dog and two cats. She is the love of my life and my best friend.

Hang in there dude. I wasn't looking for it and neither was she. But it found us. Good luck brother

But on a serious note, I was depressed for a year after being dumped but I got better because I found somebody better.

[The Man They Call Asher]

I had pretty much given up on it until a couple of months ago which is when I met an absolutely awesome girl. Things have been on the up-and-up since. Guess you just gotta keep on keepin' on and eventually you catch a break.
