Im so sad *sob*sob*
So sad that my hubby will not be around for my coming 28thbirthday. He'll be going to Cairo for a business trip. Looks like i will be left alone... :( Have not planned anything yet, so gurlss any plan for me sob* sob* :( Arghh..i dont want to think about it right now coz It makes me sick.Lets just cross the bridge once we reach the bridge.
I wanted to share with you on the article i read from 'Time Out New York'. Its about When ' I Love You' Comes Too Late. Very intresting.Something to ponder and for the record, I said those three words whenever I feel love which is everyday and hopefully, forever :)
Keep on reading.Its worth it, trust me!
Saying I love you has always been one of my favorite activities—but as the years and boyfriends have gone by, I’ve become increasingly picky about how long it takes me to say it.
My high-school boyfriend claims that I told him I loved him before we even started dating. I’ve repressed this memory, but I suppose, given my teenage propensity to just throw emotion around like a PETA member throws red paint (uh, that would be at people, whether they like it or not), it might have happened like that.
Now, my theme song’s no longer “Express Yourself”; it’s more like “Hold On.” I wait for him to say it first, though I’ve been known to throw out stealth versions to surface the emotion (“I love you…when you smile/when you laugh/when you’re awake!”). Tricky, right?
But I worry: Can you wait too long to say those three words?
While it’s important to ensure that you really do love the person—and that it’s not just neurotransmitters flooded with an excess of dopamine—if it doesn’t emerge from your mouth after a certain point, it’s probably not coming out, ever. “I believe that you can know almost immediately whether you have the capacity to love someone,” Eileen, 28, offers. “In my experience, if that’s not there at the onset, it seems unlikely that love will come in an organic, lasting way.”
Len, a musician in his forties, says couples overthink the declaration itself. “We put too much stock in those three treacherous little words. But if you ignore or deny your feelings you’ll just become a robot. Take the chance. Live life. It feels good.”
More than a few of the people I asked agree that saying those words too late can ruin a relationship. My friend Mary was dating a guy for six months—they traveled, spent four to five nights a week together—and nothing. Finally, she broached the topic with, “I think I’m falling in love with you.” Crickets. Five days later, she packed up her things (gutsy!). Two weeks after that, he confessed that he did love her. Guess what? She’d already moved on—to someone more emotionally available.
Look, no one can tell you when to say it (when I told her this column’s topic, my friend Jill shrieked, “Julia! This is terrible! You can’t tell someone when to say ‘I love you’!”), but thinking it’ll just happen when it happens might not be the way to go either. There are some guidelines: If you love someone and don’t say it after dating for six months, you probably should.
Otherwise you might end up like Chase, 35, who works in commercial real estate. “It wasn’t until she was walking away from me with tears in her eyes, bags packed, that I realized that I did love her. She was everything that I wanted. What was so bad is that I knew all along that she was perfect for me, from the day I first saw her. The reason I waited so long? Probably age, stupidity, and experience. I wonder what she’s doing now?”
Probably saying “I love you” to someone else.
