Search Results: dont love someone

Simple question right? I will concede that falling in love with someone isn't 100% a choice, its a combination of attraction, and chemical responses. But continuing to love someone i believe is a choice.

Let me explain why i believe that.

Love needs to be nurtured. To maintain the relationship, you can't just expect the "Spark" to be there. Both sides need to make effort. Both sides need to do the things that maintain connection.

For example, Every morning when i wake up, i wake a half our prior to actually needing to get up so i can get extra cuddle time with my wife. When i come home from lunch i hug her, and tell her how much i miss her. When i come home at the end of the day i do the same, and then we cook together.. the important term here is Together. Hell even my furniture choices have centered around making sure that even when we are just watching a show together it means cuddle time. Additionally i took my grandfathers advice seriously, which was "Never stop dating your wife" So i make sure to do things like date nights, and spontaneous gifts, And by gifts, i mean things she's been wanting, to things as simple as chocolate. I tell her she's beautiful every day, and i tell her how much i love her every day. And this isn't one way, My wife does similar stuff for me.

Bottom line, if i chose to stop doing all of that, my wife would first think that there was something wrong, Then she would think that i was angry with her, and finally she would think that i dont love her. It would essentially kill the marriage.

Love, Marriage, And everything in between takes effort, Marriage is hard work, Its remembering to do the little things. Its making sure above all else that you have open lines of communication.

A lot of people fail to comprehend that, and i believe this is the reason for the horrific divorce rate.

See the following poem. it explains it quite well

for decades, entire generations of boys were raised to be soft, to never stand up for themselves against someone "less privileged" than them, to be as far away from toxic masculinity as possible

then over time everyone and their grandpa can observe women chasing after bad boys, doesn't matter whether they're a godly Christian woman or a hardcore Marxist feminist

you would think with all this complaining about toxic masculinity, that women especially feminists would want nothing to do with it at all

no amount of gaslighting can cover up what everyone can blatantly see with their own eyes, yes there here women complaining about Charlie Kirk being a douchebag while they lust after Hasan Piker who's a far bigger douchebag than Charlie Kirk could ever dream of becoming

the examples there are of this are so overwhelming it's laughable to suggest otherwise. in fact having the appearance of someone toxically masculine is already enough to get women wet

this also further bleeds into politics too with so many examples of far-left women defending the far-right politics of other ethnicities

and in recent years cops have become soft on crime due to feminist policies but you know what happens to soft cops and who's ready to defund these soft cops?

then there's also countless examples in fiction I don't even know where to begin

women falling for toxic masculine men is just a fact at this point

I could post more if not for the 2000 character limits
