Answer 3

think whatever your miserable delusional little mind likes, you made words so worthless why borther share anything with you? I am so tired of you and that is exactly what you wanted to acomplish to prove that there is no love no caring no understanding you wanted to prove that YOUR way is right and YOUR life is so absolutely the best way to put things. Ok, you succeded. Why do you fight for me so hard then? Let me go, you made your point. There is no love, no sharing, no care, no chemistry or desire, everything I hold truthfull is false. I understand it now. What a wonderful inspiration you were! You will be my dearest teacher ever! I will always be grateful to you for all the energy you placed into this teaching. Let me go then. Oh...I am sorry. I didnt get this right. You expect me to be a part of your miserbale worthless life after all this? You must be kidding me.  

Answer 4

Are you saying that all I need is a couple of barbie dolls and I'll be cured of my obsession with men?  Halleluyah.

Do they still make Barbie Dream House?

Answer 5

i know what you mean I understand its nice to have a relationship and have someone special in  your life...

But some people cant survive  when the is relationship is over they cant survive alone, its a bit pathetic, people need to learn to love themselves first and be able to cope with life as one person if needed.

Answer 6

Lucy's answer is PRICELESS!!

Well, once we grow past playing with toys and playing truth or dare in the closet, we learn to love someone who makes us happy and completes our life. I know that I could survive without my husband but would I want to? No - he is MY best friend and they are hard to come by.

Answer 7

Well, my SO and I have known each other since we were 5. Besides, when you are growing up you don't have the cognitive skills to understand or relate to interpersonal relationships and the emotions that come with them.

I'm not sure what the right word for the way people feel about relationships, but I don't think that idolize is appropriate.

Answer 8

Hopefully you will have a different outlook on marriage and relationships with you get older.

Answer 9

It's not about not being able to live without the person.. It's not wanting to live without the other person.  It's about intertwining two lives, and sharing the day-to-day joys and troubles together.  

Marriage should not be idolized, but it should be viewed as a sacred arrangement.  It requires hard work on both sides to build on a foundation of love, have open and honest communication and deep respect for each other.  

Answer 10

Its not necassarily that people idolize the relationship, its that they love the person they are with, and they have become apart of that person and that person apart of them, that they forget what life was like without that person..

Of course you can live without the person you are in a relationship with, but would you want to? I know that my life was a mess, and now that i got my shite together, i have a wonderful man in my life, and cant imagine going back to living on my own...

Answer 11

Because love is just that important to us idolators!  Some people worship money.  Some people worship god.  I worship the beloved.
