Who do you love?

Who do you love in your life?

Assuming most people love their parents, their partners, and their children - do you love siblings, aunts and uncles, cousins? Friends? Colleagues?! In-laws? Has this changed over the years?

And leading on for that....who do you tell that you love?

Yes I love my brother and my mum. I dont love colleagues, have no inlaws, nor aunts and uncles or cousins

Im not big on saying I love you, in fact none of my family are, but we know we love one another, we are there for one another through the good and the bad times

I dont use the L word lightly, if I say it, I mean it

I love my parents, two of my grandparents, my siblings, my nieces and nephews and my closest friends. I don't have a partner or children, but I've loved previous partners, briefly.

Oh, and my dogs of course!

I tell them all, not every single time I see them though obviously.

TBH, now my parents are dead, it's just my husband.

I have some good friends, who are important to me, but I wouldn't say I love them

I was once told if you can't love yourself then you can't love anyone else.

I heard you can go blind from that sort of thing.

My friends and family. I lost my mum in December. Don't have any siblings or dad so my Friends/Auntys/cousins ate now my 'family'.

I used to tell my mum I loved her every night when I said goodnight. But never really said it to anyone else.

Now, If I love them, I tell them. This year had taught me to show the people you appreciate that you appreciate them. Let them know they are important to you.

Hmmm interesting question.. I love my immediate family (brothers, sister, nephews, nieces, mum and my dad who has now passed). I also love my Auntie who is like another sibling to me.

I love my OH but that is a really different love - it feels more intense and more obvious if you know what I mean.

I love my baby although unborn I fear for his safety and would be devastated if anything happened to him! Again though, it's like a different love to my OH and my other family members.

Friends - I'm not sure about. If I lost them I'd be gutted and I would miss them in my lives but I don't worry about losing them like I do with family/OH and baby so I guess it isn't love?

besides hubby and kids, i love my younger sister and my nephew and my two best female friends. And my lovely cats of course. In fact i love my nephew like he's my own. Love for anyone other than my hubby and kids was a long time coming though - i didnt recognise it.

Weren't your aunties and cousins always family? :rotfl:

Other than my family I only really have two friends who I love and recciprocate.

Mind you I may love my family, but I don't always like them.

I love my dad, step mum, sister, niece and nephew. I have a couple of aunts who I have always had a close relationship with and love dearly. The love I feel for my children is immense. They have brought more to my life than I ever imagined possible. My closest friends I have known since play group days and they have shared every part of my life. They are more like brothers and sisters to me and I love them and value them very much.

The person that I loved more than anyone else was my ex husband. I cant put into words what I once felt for him. When we were together I could not imagine what life would be like without him. I am not sure I will ever love that way again.
