    No, I'm trying to differentiate between genuine love and merely being 'in love', which is infatuation.

    Well no, it's semantics. There are no definitive definitions of these terms.

    I would disagree.

    Um, ok. What are the definite definitions then? (Not just what you think they mean!)

    Who wants to be married to their mum? I endured many years of living with someone and feeling like their mum as he took no responsibility for anything. I now have a husband who I love and lust, I know which one I prefer.

    I might actually start a thread on this but out of interest why did you remain with someone like that for years?

    It was twenty years ago and as I had never really experienced what I know now to be love I thought that was it, that everyone,s marriage was the same as mine.

    Yep, I'm another one that's experienced this.
