Loving Versus Being In Love

Two things has recently happened in my life that reminded me of the difference between loving someone and being in love with that someone. Loving someone can extend to every single person in the world. You can love someone without having to agree with that person, without having to share finances with that person, without even speaking to that person. But you can’t be in love with someone without seeing that person as someone with whom you can share your emotions and enjoy the little things. Even if you aren’t verbally expressive with your emotions, you would still find a way to let the other person know how you feel with your actions.

Is being right worth it?

Tensions in your relationships are often caused by someone thinking he or she is absolutely right. You’ve often heard about the man who claims that it really doesn’t matter who is right as long as he agrees that she is right. Well as p-whipped as that man may sound, there’s a little bit of sense in that. Many women tend to relentlessly argue why something is right or wrong, and usually their man detects this behavior and doesn’t bother presenting a counter argument because it will create more work for him than desired. So the man quietly says “Yes, Dear” and goes on with his own thing.
