No I see where you're getting at. I used to be a romantic. Now I would just laugh if anyone said anything like that to me.

Well I would too. But if someone compared me to food, I would raise an eyebrow, which I think is a worse reaction.
Truthfully, I prefer subtetly. Too much nice words just kill it. They mean a lot more when they are brief, simple and scarse.


At the end of the day "love is a weakness" was the greatest romantic statement ever, for me and for someone who understands Morrigan 

Didn't you say before when you did this clothes melted off ??


Ali!!!:wub::wub:

These talks about romance is making me depressed.

Hahaha touche.

The other kind of eyebrow raising. One that chills your soul.

Well maybe along the lines of "loving you comes naturally to me as breathing" sounds a bit better and less clingy.



And personally, the whole "I love you and I can't live without you" concept is not something I agree with. It just doesn't sound like a healthy relationship. To me it's more like, "I love you, but I can live without you. I just don't want to."

See, the thought of being something someone needs to LIVE and if they don't have you they'll DIE strikes me as creepy.

Depends on how "Live" is defined. As in literal breath to breath living, then yes, creepy. But I never look at it that way when I say I couldn't live without my own guy. I SURVIVE a months and at times a year at a time without him, but I wouldn't exactly call it living. I breathe, I function, I get done what needs done, I keep insanely busy but It's not LIVING.

If taken literally, of course.
But I don't know, being told "Meeh, I can live without you just fine, I don't need you for anything and I am just here with you to have some fun along the way, which I can just as easily find somewhere else, I just don't want to be bothered looking" is not something that would make me feel warm inside.

Now if saying that someone is needed for a happy life, that is fine for me. Still depends on how it is said. If someone literally falls apart without you, well then that is unhealthy.

I personally think the "I can't live without you" thing is super creepy. Mostly because it forces the other party to except that amount of responsibility.
I can live with breaking someone's heart. KILLING them is probably something I couldn't live with. So if a guy/girl were ever to say that to me it would freak me out and immediately make me rethink the relationship.

Also, it's super desperate.

See? Your husband is a very lucky man

Oh, I completely agree!  I have even gone so far as to point out an attractive woman to my husband on more than one occasion.  It's a give and take thing... I show him cute butts and he let's me fantasize about Alistair.  Win-win.

You know, this conversation is reminding me of Eleanor Cousland staying to die with Bryce at the end.

Which I don't think is smart (it is understandable). And it shouldn't have been done. 
So I am obviously not taking the "I can't live without you" thing literally.

If anything, that is a little more creepy to me. It reminds me of Bella going all zombie when Edward left her in Twilight. It implies, to me, an unhealthy relationship.

Note, I know that isn't what you are talking about but I'm saying that if someone were to say that to me, I would be freaked out with either definition.

[KnightofPhoenix]

Sigh, why are people so literal minded? What happened to poetic metaphors?

[Tigress M]

@LadyJess -- Exactly! I can exist without my husband, I'm sure -- I'm a big girl, perfectly capable of taking care of myself. But it would no longer be life as I know it and my world would be a very empty and lonely place without him in it.

They died out as soon as men stopped wooing women

It was a very heartbreaking scene (IMO) but she pretty much just gave up as soon as her husband was critically wounded. I know that makes the scene more of a tearjerker, but it didn't seem like she gave much thought to her children. She just trusted her child to some strange man (who could have been paid off by Howe, she doesn't know for certain that Duncan is honorable). And to be honest, I don't think Bryce should have let her stay. I wouldn't let my loved one lay down and die with me because I loved them. I wouldn't want them to die if they could live. I'd rather die alone than be the cause of my SOs death.

But then imagine the guilt of having left her dying husband to the fate of Howe. I don't understand it either, but I would not like to have Eleanor Cousland's thoughts if she had fled.

Poetic metaphor leads to people thinking Romeo and Juliet is romantic. Though, I think it is more of a personal preference. I don't really like romantic stuff like that, it makes me uncomfortable.

So....personal preference.

I could never go Zombie...then again, spending hours playing a video game could be considered such. But screw Bella and Edward, they can talk to me about seperation when they've been together almost 19 years and YAY YOU POSTED!!!!

Indeed. Might be a cultural thing I guess.

But imagine how guilty Bryce must have felt pretty much causing the death of his beloved wife? At least Eleanor could have had a chance to be with her children.

I agree. I do miss the old days when suitors proved themselves by presenting me with piles of skulls.

Men don't make such gestures anymore. Sigh.
