WTH. Seriously, love isn't that complicated.

%screams%

What the hell is up with these so called "elders" I'm supposed to respect? SERIOUSLY! I'm at least 30 years younger than they are, with my youngest "elder" being 55, and neither of them can understand the love I have for Loki.

My maternal parental unit cornered me today and started asking me how long I was going to wait for Loki. I said "as long as it takes."  She was all "And what if you're waiting until you die?" and she acted all pissed when I said "then so be it." WHAT?! just because she doesn't understand something doesn't mean it is the devil!!

More in depth: Loki has some issues which I am not at liberty to discuss. But she was referring to fixing said issues. The woman is OBSESSED with it, as if he's somehow not whole or not acceptable as he is. She didn't think that way previous, or even after he went through his tiny slice of "hell"... this is quite recent. As in, this is the first piece of negativity she's thrown at me since I've even met the man. @_@

She's all "It could take five, ten, fifteen years, or even the rest of his life to get those things fixed! How long are you going to wait for him?" and, as I said, my response was "as long as it takes. I'm willing to support him as much as he needs, step back when he needs it, and do what I can to aid him when he wants it." Her response to that was "I just want to know how long it's going to be before you go on to the next one."

WHAT?! NEXT ONE?!?! She's lucky didn't slap her, elder or not. He IS the one! I don't want, nor do need, anybody else. She can't understand that because in my past, at one point, I went through boys like I currently go through M+M's... mostly because they were all jerkwads or abusive at some point... or I fell out of love with them. It's like... Why string somebody on, you know? That's just cruel! I would rather break it off sooner than later because the person will get more and more attached to you as time goes on. BUT, that is irreverent here.

My point is, I know I won't need or want anyone else in my life romantically. Loki is IT. I know this because I haven't felt like this in my entire 24 short years of life... and though I am still rather young I have seen quite a bit by the way of relationships. I think I know what I'm talking about.

ANYWAY! I told her "I'm not going to the next one. He IS THE ONE. I don't want anybody else." and she was all "So, you're ok with not getting married for the rest of your life if that's what he needs?' and I said "that's right. Granted, it would be nice to get married, but I'm not about to leave him over something so petty, and I'm certainly not going to let it ruin our lives... or our future life together." she then got all mad and was like, "well what if I want you to get married? What if I don't want to see you in pain because he can't give you what you want?" and i was very tempted to say "well, tough shit then, lady" but luckily I've gotten craptons better at holding my tongue.

I just said "Well, it's my choice, not yours. He and I are perfectly ok living together for the rest of our lives without ever getting married at all. I'm not going to get hurt... He wouldn't intentionally hurt me. He'd take the pain himself if he could, just so I wouldn't have to suffer. Not many people can say that and know it's true in their hearts 100%. And he has the same from me. I'd gladly take any suffering he's going through on my shoulders if I could help it. ANOTHER thing - I can honestly say that I know for a FACT that he goes to bed each night thinking of me. Even FEWER can say that about their man. I'm not about to give this up just because the road ahead of him is a little rocky." Then she got all pissed, threw up her hands and was like, "Ok then."

The bitch even had me crying, just by asking questions!! There were more but I've forgotten some of them because I've been preparing for an outing tomorrow and trying to calm myself down so I didn't shove my keyboard through my monitor. @u@ WTH?! how did she learn to become such a demon in human clothing?! %growl% I'm just glad that I was able to get hold of Loki before now so I could calm down and tell him a little bit about it before I went to bed... else I would have been having nightmares.

... Y'know what, I even have lyrics running through my head for this situation... sung by me, aimed at Loki. They're at the bottom of this post... It's from Moulin Rouge, but that doesn't do anything to the authenticity behind the intent! And if ANY OF YOU AT ALL doubt how I feel for him... click the link I've put to the song, and listen VERY, VERY HARD to the lyrics. Both male and female. Every single word sung, my heart sings to him. So doubters, nay-sayers, and people who are just plain jealous... STFU, GTFO and various other pieces of colorful internet lingo. xD

I mean, how should I have handled that situation with my maternal parental unit? Did I do it right? How would you have reacted? Is she just in her worries? You all obviously know my opinion of her opinion (hint: it involves a very rusty monkey wrench in some very unsavory places...) but I also want to know yours. And, if you do listen to the song, if you can actually say with 100% honesty that you mean every single word of that toward another human being... isn't that true love? How do YOU define true love?

Thanks for your thoughts, opinions, and positive energies. It seems that both sets of parents have turned against the opposite kid (mine against him, etc) and we're probably going to need some ideas on how to smooth things over. I'm not at liberty to discuss why his parents hate -me- right now, especially since 1) it's not my story to tell, and 2) I should have been in bed yesterday. LITERALLY.

Blessed be,
SNT

Loki... This is from me to you. And I mean every single word, male or female singing. I love you baby! <3

Come what may,
I will love you,
