My brother says really hurtful things to me all the time, as in, if anybody else said them I'd be pissed off, if not hurt - but for whatever reason, when my brother says it, I don't get offended. Insane .

I'm not sure about romantic love. I do think it's a real thing, I think it's a combination of obsession and respect, or at least it should be. I mean, if you don't care about the person you're with, you're not in love - or if at one time you did but no longer do, then you're no longer in love. Similarly if you don't respect and admire the person you're with, then you're somewhat intolerant towards them, so you're not in love. I think lots of people are then guilty of holding on to something because they used to have those feelings towards their partner and somehow hope it'll return?

Not sure if thats the case with me...I'm in such a weird place right now. I have been thinking about how my life was before Gav and it all seems so much better, I might be seeing it through rose tinted glasses now but its just how it seems. But at the same time, I cant see myself going back to a life without him. I don't think I could.

But then again, that might just be because its been like 4 years now...rather than because I love him. Really not sure.
