A lot of people espouse bitterness and hatred — whether it’s real or feigned — towards everyone who has someone special when Valentine’s Day comes around, but I’m not in that boat. Personally, I’m happy for every couple that’s been lucky enough to find someone to love; I enjoy nothing more than being one of those shmoopie people.

The general feeling of bitterness in the comments is, I think, somewhat unfair. Cute coupledom is nothing to be ashamed/disgusted about, but I do agree that some couples take it a bit too far and often in places where it is most disturbing to other people. I remember being in my university library (during a time when most were going insane due to exams and essay deadlines) and this couple at the desk next to mine sucking at each other so much I thought their faces would cave in. <strong>That's</strong> gross.

It is rather disgusting as a matter of fact I can feel the bile in the back of my throat. EGADS knows I'd never be one of those crazy people... Wooo. Good luck LB Let us know when you have joined them.. I blame it on hormone secretion. It is rather disgusting as a matter of fact I can feel the bile in the back of my throat.

The names were Peaches(yes, peaches, and yes that could be freudian reference, but she would never have thought of that!), Bissous-french for kisses, and sweetheart. But SPARINGLY, as not to be YUCKY sweet. Those couples just plain piss me off. Oh yeah, and I learned something yesterday, speaking of annoying couples-Don't ever ask a newly married uber-Christian couple what's new and exciting on their honeymoon. They will just laugh at you, and you will be embarased when you realize the faux pas that you have just made.(and please may I not have to explain this one....)

The grass is greener, the sky is bluer, the air smells cleaner, the birds are chirpings, etc...... There are three stages of love, I believe... 1. The new love. The passionate can't stay away from you type of love. 2. Then there is 'becoming one' love---the love that you want to unite with this person forever. It's comfortable, yet still at the new stages of 'lusting after them'... 3. Then there is the comfortable content love. The love where you grow old together---the kind of love that bonds you as 'a family' now. The newness fades, that "schmoopie lovey dovey' type of love goes away within time, with trust, and with love as well. Love changes---some for the better, and some for the worst. Just because you may be on level "3" does not mean that it is a 'bad love'---people have the wrong assumption of that. Ever notice how people will break up within a year or so? Sometimes it's a case of being addicted to the 'newnes'. I was one of them. Always needed to find that 'new fix'. Great post. Very well written!

1. The new love. The passionate can’t stay away from you type of love.

2. Then there is ‘becoming one’ love—the love that you want to unite with this person forever. It’s comfortable, yet still at the new stages of ‘lusting after them’…

3. Then there is the comfortable content love. The love where you grow old together—the kind of love that bonds you as ‘a family’ now. The newness fades, that “schmoopie lovey dovey’ type of love goes away within time, with trust, and with love as well.

Love changes—some for the better, and some for the worst. Just because you may be on level “3″ does not mean that it is a ‘bad love’—people have the wrong assumption of that.

Ever notice how people will break up within a year or so? Sometimes it’s a case of being addicted to the ‘newnes’. I was one of them. Always needed to find that ‘new fix’.

Great post. Very well written! Thanks for the good read! :)
