Loyalty is one of the highest virtues, but it is often seen as a symptom of weakness, especially by those who don't even know what it is, because they lack moral principles. For some it is boring, so they look for new stimuli elsewhere, because they know they will still have a safe haven to return to .. like a faithful animal waiting for its master to return. Just as in the food chain the strongest eats the weakest, so in relationships the most stupid often makes sensitive, honest people suffer. Cheating is not love, it is disrespect, which is the basis of any type of relationship. You can choose to continue suffering in a disturbed relationship or walk away with dignity. For your love and his/her too. It serves to grow and be reborn

I live in the most beautiful country in the world. It is history, art, culture, fashion, beautiful beaches and crystal clear seas, snow-capped mountains and one of the best cuisine in the world. There is everything and much more. Italy .. a true masterpiece

Personally not. Suffering, this scares me.
People are afraid of death, because it is a mystery, no one has ever come back to explain what happens and what it feels like .. this sense of ignorance anguishes us .. it is something we cannot control

curious
because I like to learn

Not necessarily. The relationship could work, regardless of age. Probably, the aspect to be evaluated would be that linked to the prejudices of society. In fact, if in the world of celebrities you hear about it frequently and the taboo now appears cleared through customs, the same is not true in the everyday world, where relationships with the older woman tend to arouse suspicion about the actual sentimental involvement of the younger man. When she is older than him, the instinctive reaction is one of distrust, and this happens due to social conditioning, primarily the stereotypical roles of the female and male within the couple. He strong and protective, she weak and in need of care.

Unfortunately ignorance is a plague that has plagued humanity since the dawn of time .. there is a vaccine, but not everyone wants to get vaccinated. this ignorance sometimes generates hatred, towards what is not known or known but not understood either. Where reason does not arrive, always try with education.

the truth can hurt more than a lie. But it is always the best choice, the choice of respect. A lie is always a lie

Don't judge a book by its cover alone. So you can't judge all guys just because someone is misbehaving. The behaviors of people are not male or female, they involve both.

@CarmenSensus said in Haiku(unrequited love):

Chest flutters like leaves.
An endless sense of longing.
Her eyes look through me

it's beautiful!!

Wealth is subjective satisfaction, therefore it changes for each of us. Money, knowledge, health, love and much more

Personally I think there are two explanations.

1. that person was not the perfect partner
2. personal insecurity. Many people for fear of being left, prefer to leave, suffering them and making the other person suffer too who asks himself "where did I go wrong?" Insecurity can lead to thinking that you are not good enough for each other

I agree. It0's better to be alone.
False friends are not friends they are just "extras" in the story of our life. In this case, we are alone anyway .. the same use of the word fake paired with friends says so

What an intense and touching story. First of all, don't try to make him fall in love with you. Love happens, it comes looking for you, it should not be forced. If your boyfriend is depressed and you force him to do something he will think that you are trying to "fix" him, make him the way you want him, and eventually he won't feel accepted. He is with you, because he wants to be with you, I think he is exactly where he wants to be and with whom he wants .. or he would have already left. Depression is a dark evil, only you two know your past, but while you have found the positive strength to want to overcome, the dark times, he is probably just afraid, afraid of being hurt, abandoned (he would prefer loneliness). His is probably a silent cry for help. Love him and accept him for what he is and above all be patient, talk about everything, be natural, find something to do with him that is only yours and his .. if you really love him, this love will bear fruit. From the bottom of my heart, I wish you both much happiness. And I'll give you a red tulip, a symbol of true love .. give it to him too

@renegade_ ahaha, exactly Antonia how is?
I know Anatolia

Well, you shouldn't worry about your reputation here, people are walking in and out for no apparent reason. On the other hand, I find worse those who stop talking with false justifications and then find them writing online. It takes consistency and respect, which some lack

There is a Japanese practice called kintsugi (repairing with gold). It is a metaphor that can also be used for broken hearts.
By breaking, an object takes on new life through the fracture lines, which becomes even more valuable, thanks to its scars.
These scars are unique, precious. As with objects, even the wounded heart self-healing, shines with new light, different traces that shine with new light become unique, meaning that what is inside it is a precious asset.

I don't see, I don't hear, I don't speak.
More than anything else, emotional tranquility. Who is polite is always polite and with anyone

it is a dance without rhythm

Wow! It is beautiful, deep, intelligent. I want to save it. Thanks for sharing it
