Saying I Love You

Someone tells you they love you for just being yourself. They will spend their life proving to you that it is true. A few years into the relationship, they want you to be someone else. Did they not know who they were proving their love to? Saying the words I love you may be a game, just for fun. They are only words used by some to get their way. After a while, they lose interest, and they are done. It was a game that you were never taught to play. Be mindful, make sure the I love you is meant for you. Remember, if they start trying to change you...run! If there is suspicion of someone else, it is probably true. I hope you'll know when you've had enough fun.

It is true this game is played often and for many reasons. It is sad. It also destroys trust. I agree, to trust your gut instinct and true love is accepting people for who they are, not control or changing them :)

Sandra, I like the poem 'Saying I Love You'. I dislike the game I was never meant to play. Agreed change no one is meant to. Though hard when heart's are left astray. -Richard

Thank you Richard. Saying I love you, shouldn't be so easy and cavalier as it seems to be today.

Relationships can be difficult for sure. Some of them simply aren't meant to be. They're a lot of work, but hopefully end up better for the time spent. God bless you with the best, prayers, Gina

Thank you, Gina for your insight.They can be alot if work. To do the work, then years later...it was not meant to be. A difficult, but common situation.
