Difference in Love
I would like if all the girls that read this tell me there opinion on this. Do you agree with what it says about how women love?
"Men can be notoriously simple in matters of the heart, and Selden Rose, unfortunately, was one of those men. He had fallen in love with Janey Wilcox the moment she'd sat down next to him at Mimi's party, and in the single-minded way of men, he loved her simply because she was- Because she existed-
He hadn't really wanted much from her- only that she love him a little and give way to his wishes now and then and stand by him. And with the irrational blindness of a man misguided by what he is convinced is love, he still hoped that she loved him, too. For he honestly believed that if she did, despite the odds against them, they would manage to get through this together.
When a man falls in love like this, a woman may abuse him terribly, and while he might eventually hate her or call her crazy, it's nearly impossible to convince him that this isn't true love.
But women are more complicated when it comes to their affections: They rarely love simply for what it is- but for what it might be, and more importantly, for how it might affect them. This is why a woman will endure a great deal of abuse in love- as long as she believes there is something to be gained.
But when a woman sees that a man can no longer help her, when his actions become detrimental to her lifestyle, she can fall out of love as suddenly and as firmly as an apple falling from a tree. There is no putting the apple back on the tree, just as there is no going back in love. Her heart closes against the man as resolutely as if he had never existed."
I dont know it just seems really fucked up to me. I mean when I think of love I think that the love shouldnt be there because you expect to get something from who your with... well except for love back.
