A True Love Story

For better or worse

True love comes in many guises and one thing which has struck me over the years is that even when all goes base of apex and what was love turns to hatred, it is still all part and parcel of true love.

If you have the presence of love in your life then the absence of love must be indifference rather than hatred, indifference being the lack of any feeling what so ever. Hatred is simply the darker side of love, a switching from a set of positive to negative feelings.

I have been lucky enough to feel true love more than five times, only three of which were feelings that were reciprocated by the ladies in question. For this I feel fortunate in the extreme. Having said that, two out of the three ultimately failed for whatever reasons. Hopefully the one that prevails at the present moment in time shall continue log into the future of my dying days.

Looking back at my personal experience of love, a great deal has been suffered and learned. For it is through suffering that we learn the most valuable lessons in our lives.

Below, through a series of eight articles, I have chronicled some of what I have been through and taken on board. Hopefully a quick read may help others to avoid some of the many pitfalls I fell into. Even better, just maybe you will get a few pointers about what to do next in your own situation. Enjoy.
