Do you feel like you've ever been the love of someone's life?

For the record I don't Sad
I don't know if this is the reality of my situation though or if it comes from feeling, not exactly unloved, but definitely not 'fully and completely' loved by my parents. I think I'm having a realisation that maybe I'm not unloved, I'm just shit at spotting and accepting it.
Do you feel like you are, are have been, the absolute love of someone's life?

OP

It makes me sad reading your posts. It is not just those who were loved by the parents.

My DP has been in my life for 9 years now. We've been through ups and downs and a lot of it was finding it hard to accept he actually loves me. I too had a loveless childhood and definitely felt if the two people in the world who were meant to love me the most couldn't, then who would? But my DP proves me wrong every singe day.

He has stuck by me through hard times and it's taken me a long time (and a lot of hard work for DP) for me to believe it.

I wish you all the best for the future and hope one day you find somebody who you can believe truly loves you. Doesn't matter what age you are to find love.

Yes, my current partner worships the ground I walk on, and I adore him too. We have our ups and downs like everyone else (mainly through having to live apart at the moment), but we have such an amazing connection. We really do have that telepathic thing going on and I really feel I can be utterly myself with him and his feelings for me won't change. We seem to know inherently what the other needs at any given time and just try to make each other happy every day. He looks after my best interests and I look after his. He tells me every day that I am the centre of his world, which is a lovely feeling.
We have known each other over 30 years and he maintains that he always knew I was the one for him, even from when we were kids and said he's never stopped thinking about me or loving me (daft old thing that he is).
I don't feel my parents have an all-consuming love for me at all and to be honest I don't really need that. But once I got together with my partner, I realised what it felt like to be loved unconditionally.
