Question by Cali: My man of 16 months says he doesn’t know what love is- Should I dump him?
We are both in our 40′s and divorced from ex’s who cheated and were very self serving. He and I are both pretty stable responsible and highly compatible people. (met on a dating service). After 16 mos of seeing each other every weekend, talking on phone every night, going on vacations and meeting eachother’s families, he still cannot say the three Big Words I love you. He literally chokes on them, even though he is very articulate otherwise! Some of my friends swear it is because he is Irish (!!) and that’s how Irish guys are=others just say DUMP him if he doesnt love you now he never will. I go back and forthe and cannot decide. He says matter of factly that he doesnt have to have mushy romantic love in order to be committed and feel we have a strong and healthy relationship (and great sex) –so if we have all that, then why doesn’t he KNOW it is love?? He did have those mushy feelings for the ex wife, but of course she was YOUNG and Beautiful when they met, and is that what this comes down to for men? I am very fit and am told (by him and others) that I am sexy. but he only rarely compliments my looks, although he does look at other beautiful women. . . I was never insecure but this is definitely taking a toll on me. I have passed up a lot of other opportunities with other men, because I think he and I are so special together. but he floored me the other day by answering my question of love with “I don’t think I know what love even is. . .maybe I should head back to therapy” should I dump him? Why would any guy stick around and make future plans without LOVE??? I don’t know if I can, without hearing the words!
I never said I didn’t like him (to Indrajit) I do, I love him! I guess I am gathering opinions because I want something to strike me as true. I obviously dont WANT to dump him because he treats me so well, and acts lovingly towards me, so I figured it was in there, just not SPOKEN. But since he admitted he doesn’t know what love IS, I wonder if he is just admitting that although he Treasures me, (his term) , he doesnt get the blown away feeling of infatuated youth. YES I type too much.
To Eamon (cool name)
when I asked him finally if he loved me on valentine’s day he said he Treasured me and of course had feelings of love but it was very hard to say. That held me for about 5 mos. But when I asked again recently he admitted ” i don’t know if i know what love is” . . . and the reason I even asked is because although he treats me well, he is pretty hard to read, keeps his hands to himself, not as affectionate as every other guy I’ve dated…

Question by Z: Know a lot about cancer? Want to make it easier for everyone here to help others?
As a response to thinkingtime’s excellent question ( http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Ah50S6XDRCqlb.x67s_kQtXty6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20110702140617AA4zt7l ) a few of us “frequent fliers” in the Cancer section at YA have come together to try and work together to spread information more effectively.

We all have been largely working as individuals repeating the same things over and over again to different teenagers: from reassuring them that they don’t have breast cancer, to explaining why they’ve got lumps and bumps all up in there, to telling them what the signs they do need to see a doctor are.

Give your answer to this question below!

Everyone should know what to expect from alcohol detox, there are some critical factors. First is, part of being safe is being comfortable if your not comfortable, it’s an indicator that probably your not safe. When your having withdrawal symptoms in all it feels bad but actually it’s telling you that your body is being damage and if being damage this is going to hurt you not only now but also for the future. The worst detox is actually cause major damage to the brain and it advances your alcoholism and makes you have the higher risk of relapse in the future, makes any future detox much more difficult and much more dangerous. So you should expect to be comfortable in your detox process if your not comfortable you need to tell somebody, a medical professional especially so that they can make adjustments. Adjustments for alcohol detox can be made easily. There is no purpose or benefit in toughing it out it will only hurt you and hurt your future. People should also expect to detox around 7-14 days or maybe longer depending on how long their history is, if you try to cut it short your just going to hurt yourself. You may still have withdrawal symptoms which is a major trigger to relapse or you can have major complications like a seizure. Most detoxes are cut short by insurance companies and hospitals and if that is a case for you make sure you seek medical help right after you leave the hospital so you could finish your detox with a medical professional as an outpatient …
