We all know love can drive people insane (literally). What's the wildest thing you've done while under love's spell? Did you do something far out to prove your devotion? Did heartbreak make you act like a maniac? Share your story!
Married him. :-)
I drove like a bat out of hell to make it to a city 3 and a half hours away before the stroke of midnight this past New Year's Eve to be able to kiss him, in a city I barely knew how to get around. I made it without getting stopped by cops, got lost in the city trying to find the club he was waiting for me at and managed to find him inside with 5 minutes to spare before midnight (sheer miracle). We kissed as soon as the New Year was rung in......it was worth it.
I guess that we women are the ones who drive all night for a brief fling. I, too, am guilty of driving hundreds of miles at night to be with "the one." The craziest time was when I was playing in a band and after our set, I drove 4 hours to surprise him. I used my key at about 4 in the morning and created one of the best memories of my life. I left his apartment at 10 am so I could get back and perform that night. I still smile when I think about it.
I married him. :-)
i've flown two thousand miles, spent an entire day with him, drove back to a friend's house at 4am the next morning an hour away, then he drove up to see me after lunch and we spent the rest of that day together. i flew home the following day... four thousand miles, and about 17 hours in the car (because there are no direct flights to major airports where we live). and it was worth every minute and every penny i spent. id do it again in a heartbeat.
I thought that my bf is seeking out other love interests on line so I created a profile using someone else's pictures and name on my space and requested his friendship and sure enough, he's actively looking for love elsewhere. Sad and it hurt but at least I know that he's a cheater. ENTRAPMENT BABY!
had 6 babies
got married at 18 years old
I took a trip out to see her 737 miles away without her knowing because she was sick in the hospital and i surprised her and she had no idea!!!

The driving stories reminded me of something I did in 1956. I had a very serious relationship going with a Marine Lt.Col. who worked for the Commandant in Washington D.C. .We both lived in nearby Arlington, Virginia.
Then, I was chosen by my company to open the new office in Tampa, Florida. I welcomed the chance to leave Arlington, because of constant and seriously threatening harrassment by my ex-husband. It sparked my life-long interest in Domestic Violence, and what could be done about it. I was outraged at the time that there was so little legal ( and physical)options open to one iin my position.
Anyway, I moved to Tampa and the relationship continued on a "commute" basis, mostly him hopping a plane on Fri. for McDill AFB, and me meeting him there. But one weekend, things were a little different. The Commandant was coming to Miami for a big Reception of some sort. I was supposed to meet him at the site of the Reception, meet the Commandant, and then "whatever" afterward. Oh, and if I needed to change clothes, we had a reservation at the Fountainbleu, he had left instructions and key for his "wife"", so don't forget and assert independance , play the usual role. It sounded like a good plan to me, so I said okay. Un fortunately I didn't take into consideration the weather,exasperating mechanical misshaps,the fact that I was(at that point) a total geographical idiot, I had let myself be talked into a new hair-do that I hated, and didn't know what to do about it or how to make it look any better, and unbelievably, that was the main thing on my mind the whole day.
Friday dawned beautifully, at least in Tampa. My "housemate", who was a hairdresser, did the best she could; helped me trek to the car, and carefully hung the white linen suit I was to change into, in the back seat. The map she had carefully marked in red pencil from Tampa to Miami, she placed o n the front seat.
I'm sorry , didn't realize this would take so long...I have to ru n....It is really a very interesting story! I love MSNBC, especially Chris M. "til later,lee.
I flew from the US into India to be with him for two days. It was heaven on earth.
I love him and been with him for over a year even though i know there is no hope for us. He is married, but his wife is been incapacitated for over 13yrs and he don't and can't divorce her.
When I was 22 I waited faithfully on my boyfriend of two months for four years while he served 4 years in prison. He was the love of my life.
Lived in Kansas. Help! I want out of here!
He lost his job and decided to move to Atlanta, GA about 400 miles away. I quit my job where I was advancing quickly to move with him. We got jobs at the same company making great pay but he was so jealous that he eventually made me regret doing any of it. We are no longer together.
I pretended to lock my keys in my car and timed my leaving with his .......he came to my rescue, drove me all the way home to get my extra keys (which were really in my purse). We dated for 4 years and got engaged. Unfortunately we ended up breaking up in the end.
It seems a lot of you would go to great lengths to travel great distances to be with who you wish.
I salute you.
After 2 1/2 years together, I'm in love with the man I'm crazy about who I'm 20 years younger than!!
I COULDN'T ASK FOR A MORE WONDERFUL GIFT FROM GOD!
suffered from the biggest cognitive disorders in my life by assuming i actually mattered to him, stayed out of my building all night and fell asleep there, just to be away from everyone else so I could tearfully pray for him (he was in another country and mentioned he'd been upset about something - even though I knew it was now resolved), pretend for the world that I'm happy and fine but still talk to him (ie. myself) almost every night even though its been two years since I discovered he's engaged to his highschool sweetheart (which i truly am happy about), and four years since I fell in love despite knowing he wasn't the right person and that it would never work with us for so many reasons. And now, am actually admitting it all in this emotion-crazed forum, the last thing a cold person like myself would do, when i can hardly say the words "I miss you" to a friend.
Suffered from the biggest cognitive disorders in my life to assume I actually mattered to him, spent a night (and ended up sleeping) outside my building just so I get away from everyone to pray that he was okay and cry because I was sorry since he'd told me he'd been upset about something (even though I knew by then the issue was resolved)... pretend for my family's sake that I'm fine while I still talk to him (ie. myself) every night even though it's been 2 years since I found out he's engaged to his highschool sweetheart (and I really am happy for him), 4 years since I inadvertently fell in love with him (despite the fact that I knew it could never work out for both of us for real reasons), and almost 4 years since two other men fell in love with me and proposed. And on top of that, I'm writing this out anonymously in an emotion-crazed forum even though I'm such a non-expressive person I can hardly say "I miss you" to a friend.

I drove 385 miles one way to be with him for half that day , the one night and leave really early the next morning. It was worth it.
