  • "Your heart just breaks, that's all. But you can't judge, or point fingers. You just have to be lucky enough to find someone who appreciates you."

    may we all end up with people who love us, appreciate us, see us, adore us, and can't get enough of us.

    love is about compromise and wanting to be another person's joy and reasons.
    and reciprocating that.

    anything less is not love.it's just the idea.  love is about really always wanting to be the one who makes another feel important.

    ------wikipedia-----------b

    Love is a profound feeling of tender affection for or intense attraction to another. It is considered a deep, ineffable feeling shared in passionate or intimate interpersonal relationships. However, in different contexts, the word love has a variety of related but distinct meanings: in addition to romantic love, which is characterized by a mix of emotional and sexual desire, other forms include platonic love, religious love, familial love,
    and the more casual application of the term to anyone or anything that
    one considers strongly pleasurable, enjoyable, or desirable, including
    activities and foods. This diverse range of meanings in a single word
    is commonly contrasted with the plurality of Greek words for Love, reflecting the word's versatility and complexity.

  • Here's What Strangers Have to Say About the State of Your Relationship.

    Ok
    – so they’re not therapists, but total strangers can pick up some
    strong vibes about the state of your relationship. If you’ve ever
    doubted that your BODY LANGUAGE tells a story, check out what the
    researchers at Condé Nast Publications found out when they interviewed
    the people you run into every day.

    • The waitress. Stephanie
      Lacombe works at Hell’s Kitchen restaurant in New York. And she says a
      woman’s legs say a lot about how happy she is to be with the man
      sitting across from her. If they’re swung to the side of the chair,
      she’s not that engaged in the conversation – or the guy. She’s already
      half out of the chair - AND mentally out the door.
    • The cab driver.
      According to cabbie Jonathan Valdes, eye contact – not physical contact
      – is the sign that a couple is solid. When a man puts his arm around
      his date - but looks out the window the whole time, something’s wrong.
      True lovebirds always peek at each other.
    • The personal trainer. Michelle Jones is a trainer at Sports Center at Chelsea Piers in New York. And
      she says couples in the strongest relationships DON’T workout together.
      They kiss at the locker room and then do their own thing. That’s
      because they’re secure enough to know they don’t have to spend every
      second together.
    • The Hardware store guy.
      According to Felix Atlasman, owner of American Home Hardware, a healthy
      couple divides and conquers. For example, he picks out the paint and
      she picks out the light fixtures. He says this shows that the couple is
      a good TEAM. They take turns making decisions and trust each other.
    • The clerk at the video store!
      According to Blockbuster employee Alexis Vertucci, compromise is a good
      indicator of ANY healthy couple. If you can’t agree on a DVD, how will
      you agree on the big things – like a house? Happy couples talk it out,
      laugh and settle on something they’ll BOTH enjoy.

  • Gravely ill woman kills son, is freed, kills husband.

    SOFIA (Reuters) - A Bulgarian woman who killed her son was released
    from prison because of terminal cancer. She then went home and killed
    her husband, police said Tuesday.

    The 57-year-old was sentenced
    to 15 years in jail for killing her 29-year-old son with a garden hoe
    in April 2005 while he was sleeping.

    Last month, authorities
    judged her to be in the final stages of cancer and let her go home,
    where she stabbed her husband in the throat with a knife.

    "It was
    established she was in the last stage of cancer, she had it all over
    her body," said a spokeswoman for the Bourgas regional police. 

    "They presumed she was feeling bad and she would treat herself
    and rest. But nothing of the kind. She got aggressive and ... she
    killed her husband."

    The woman, from a village in eastern Bulgaria, has been taken into custody again and is awaiting a new trial.

    "She threatened that, if she is released again, she will kill her second son as well," the police spokeswoman said.

    "The whole case is like something from the twilight zone."

    crazy.
