in a strange coincidence, Netflix sent me a movie that’s been in my queue forever and i saw it last night. it’s coincidental because it’s about an older woman who gets alzheimers and eventually forgets who her husband is, and i posed a question the other day about your capacity to love someone who doesn’t love you back. the movie is called Away From Her, and it was fucking heart-breaking.
so again, how would you feel about your spouse/s.o. if they simply stopped loving you for whatever reason?

kind of related to this, but a rather interesting take on a marriage: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/08/02/fashion/02love.html?_r=2
that movie sounds really interesting and i want to see it.

good story but i have to wonder what kind of deep shit she’d been if she were wrong and he really didn’t love her. that’s a risky way to go.

thank the technology gods, you can see it!
just added it to our queue.
i don’t know how i’d feel… im assuming i’d be old so we would’ve already had a life time loving each other, right?
so although my husband can’t remember he loves me, i’ll KNOW he does and that’ll make it easier???
