Love Affairs

I wish it wasn't true, all the rumors about Tiger Woods and his alleged lovers. I promised not to write about sex and affairs and the wreckage you see in Hollywood but the topic keeps coming up.

Actually, it seems most people I know are longing for so much more in relationships.

It's easy to fall in love in Hollywood. Problem is it's usually not real love. obsession. creative synergy. sex addiction...

But so few of us seem to know what true love is that it's hard to tell the counterfeit.

"True love is often unglamorous," my friend Karin said. It often can't sustain the passion, heat and intensity of lust or a love affair born out of birthing a vision with someone.

You may be making a feature film together or putting on a charity fundraiser - it's easy to fall for your co-creator. even if one of you is married.  Creative connection - the reason so many actors jump from one bed to another.

So how do you know true love versus the fake? Well, I guess we're going on a journey to find out.

And just for the record, I don't advocate whacking a cheating spouse with a golf club. Abuse is never right in any relationship. Tell someone if it's happening to you.
