Love

I want to hear some success stories from people. It seems all I hear are people that are unhappy with their lack of success in romantic relationships. I want to hear from people who have found the one or at least close to finding the one. Any success stories would be great!

I've just celebrated my 22 anniversary with my first wife
It's not always a bed of roses, but the good times outweigh the bad. We work hard at remaining friends. When we have a disagreement, we have to stop and ask ourselves if the issue is so important that we are willing to hurt our best friend to prove a point (we are both stubborn as hell) .. plus the make-up sex is great.

I have had several loves of my life. My first husband, Daniel that died in Vietnam, my second husband Richard who died in the Loma Prieta quake near San Francisco after we had been separated for two years. I have loved others that have moved on, and I moved on too. Life is full of amazing meetings and destinies. . .

Married for 22 years, most of my adult life. Of course to three different women

Relationships are work, but they are worthwhile. NT relationship partners are like boxes of old sweaty dynamite. It takes a lot of communication, and being able to step outside yourself and not take things personally. The dynamics are going to have you both treating each other unfairly without a clue that you are doing so. And don't jump in trying to analyze things or attempting to make or find something rational.

i am generally so sick of people telling me that my current relationship probably wont work out because im too young to know what love is. just because im young doesnt mean i dont know my own feelings. yeah theres a chance it wont work out but we have faith and believe it will.

my boyfriend and i met two years ago in drama class. i liked him alot but he moved to another school for about a year. then as if by magic he moved back again but during that year apart id been through some very tough relationships, even one with a guy diagnosed with bipolar and schizoprehnia who treated me very badly. i was reluctant to tell this guy my feelings at first but it turned out that he really liked me and we decided to see how it would go. we've been going out for nearly seven months now and we've both never been happier. he does so much for me and i feel so beautiful even after an abusive relationship with my drug addict mother who called me ugly. i really believe that he is the one and we connect deeply and understand eachothers every move. to me this is a success story and he tells me that hes planned the next ten anniversaries for us, leading up to a proposal.

love can be found anywhere for anyone. it can happen quickly or slowly. love is an individual thing that nobody can tell you how to feel and nobody can tell you your own feelings. we all love in different ways. lol i sound cheesy now.

read my thread? it's not necessrily a success...yet. but looking rather hopeful and it might seem a bit more relavant seeing as we're similar ages and all.

While I've had success meeting them I can't seem to keep them.

First there's the girlfriend in elementary school who had to move away when she turned 15 - we proclaimed our undying love at 9 and hung out for years just knowing we'd be getting married.

Then there's the wife who died of a brain tumor.

I half suspect my current gf will be taken away - God is one fickle entity who could not care less about people and I for one do not trust Him/Her/It except to know that no matter how happy I have been in the past it has all ended regardless of how I decently acted. I just wonder how creative He can be this time. I'm getting bored with the usual bland stuff.

I have loved and lost. But, it's worth the pain to experience the joy.

well now it's common knowledge I might as well share

I met the woman I consider the one on another site in their chatroom, we talked on there, exchanged phone numbers, and we began to speak on the phone more and more, so much more that she'd be on the phone to me when I was busy and even into the early hours, she has travelled from the US to the UK and we've spent a lot of time together since she arrived here, I love her so much and she loves me so much, and we see ourselves together for a very long time, she is aspie too, which is one of the things I prefer in women, she's wonderful

I'm currently engaged, however her mother would kill me if she knew she would get away with it. I don't think its because of the Aspergers - but more so the fact that shes pregnant and her mom has a hard time letting go of her little girl.
