Doesn't it sadden us no end when we have to do things we absolutely hate doing simply because we love?

True! That is indeed very painful. But mostly we need to do it!
If it is something we absolutely hate to do then I'm afraid to say it merely proves we don't love. In my humble opinion, if we do something because we love then it should come easy and not take a lot of effort on our part.
Sidney,
It depends really on the context but judging from what you wrote, I was thinking along the same lines you were.
Hi Daphne,
It depends on the context. I would agree with you in the context of having to give up a part of our personality or passion just to satisfy someone we supposedly love. If we are "forced" or made to do something that we do not like or something that we despise, then yes, I agree with you that it's not love. It would merely be an appeasement.
like wahat?
Examples would be arguments, sometimes bitter ones, between spouses or lovers that had to happen to improve their mmm understanding of each other. Though this arguments could be quite unpleasant at times, they help forge a strong relationship.
oops, typo.
okay.
That's okay. Even the best amongst us makes mistakes. Naks! Sipsip!
Di ba, people who are in love do insane things? Only to realize their folly later on...
well, corny it maybe, but just like how the world knew it, love is blind (and lovers can't see).
:)
Rudy,
That's true. Some people do tend to hold on to a romantic notion or a romantic ideal. Unfortunately, they need to live through the folly before they realize it.
Hi Zherwin,
I think most, if not all, loves start blind. It's just that the successful relationships are the ones that go on long after the "blind" period had ended.
Thank you very much for your visit. Very much appreciated.
I hated exercising (I still do) but I had to force myself to go to the gym where this girl worked out almost everyday after office hours. The pains I had to go through, literally. I eventually met her, went steady but broke eight months later. to this day I still laugh at myself and remember all of this whenever I hear the name debbie.
Mon,
At least she was good for your health, even for just a short while. Hahaha
so true. we are surprised by how we commit ourselves in doing unthinkable things for the sake of the other half.
may the force the with you! :)
Hi Ipanema,
Thank you. I'll need it. :)
