My friend was telling me yesterday that another person had told her that there are really only three men in your life:

• the one you love the most,
• the one who loves you the most,
• and the one you end up marrying.

Only the lucky ones get to meet one that combines all three.

As for me, it feels as if I've met only one of the three... and I just don't feel quite capable of "loving as if I've never been hurt before" any more. And right now,if I had to choose, I'd rather that the guy I marry - whoever and wherever he is - ends up loving me more than I love him. I'd rather that because I know having it the other way round sucks big-time.
