Love What It Feels Like

gophercentral:" Study says love is understanding feelings Love is like "cleaning the toilet without being asked," says a British researcher of human relations. Dr. Simon Watts, author of a new study into love and how men and women define it, is convinced the secret of nourishing a partnership between two people is understanding the power of the other person's feelings, the Western Mail said. "My definition of love is cleaning the toilet without being asked," he said. "It's doing something you find utterly abhorrent for somebody. You go and do these things because you know it brings them pleasure if you have done it." His research has revealed the crucial importance of feelings and emotions in a modern relationship. The results of the research project by Watts of Nottingham Trent University, and Dr Paul Stenner of University College London, are published in the British Journal of Social Psychology. Well I don't know if I like the wording of love is, like (cleaning a toilet) I think of more like giving of ones self in order to make your partner happy, as I have tried to do in my relationship. Yes their has been times I was so mad at him I want to, well.. You know, but didn't. Because I felt it wasn't worth the fight it would bring. But I have also learned something over the past month, you can love someone and be so angry at them (because you keep every little thing you have been upset with them about-bottled up) that you do something stupid and tell them you don't want to talk to them ever again. Only to hurt them and yourself. So I have learned you can love some one with every fiber of your body, but if you don't talk to them about the things they do that make you sad, then you don't love and trust them enough to think they wouldn't understand. I found out the hard way and may of lost the love of my life because I acted like a child and blew-up at him, Yes we are talking again, but I'm not sure if he wants me back now. So I learned this also if you love them, don't hide your angry, talk to them so it makes your love stronger."
