That's not necessarily love. There are other reasons to be scared of losing someone than just love. Many people stay in unsatisfying relationships just because that's what they are used to. It's comfortable and safe, and when faced with losing it, they're scared of the unknown, and of being alone.

That is when people need a good friends around them to help the realise the relationship is destructive and support them in that time.

Not possiblr to define it accurately, different for different people, like most emotions. When you really experience it SB, you will know believe me.

Love is.......................




When you unconditionally put someone's feelings, needs and wants before your own, without feeling compromised in any way.

there is an interesting dynamic bewteen being a martyr, stayng in an "unsatisfying" relationship, and on the other hand chasing after some kind of rainbow that in reality doesn't actually exist. IMO relationships are a compromise bewteen two people's expectations. some compromises are better than others but I don't believe that people should be too hasty to chuck away something that works just because they've had an idea about something that might work better.

if you see what i mean.

Real love is when you would give your life to save the life of the other person.

Isn't there also a difference between loving someone & being in love with someone?

I already have. In one instance I was with a lass whom I loved so dearly that it took me a full 2 years to properly get over the relationship and even at that part of me died when we split. The problem is I can't remember back all those years to where the crossing point between really caring for her and being in love with her came. That said I can't imagine you go to bed one day really caring for her and wake up the next day in love. It must be more gradual

Yes, there is a difference between loving and being in love with someone. For years after I split with the above referred ex I loved her but I was no longer in love with her. I possibly even still love her now!

Love it what you leave inside her.

Sex is what you deposit on the outside.

I think love is a combination of many of the things above. You have to be willing to sacrifice some things for the person you love, and when the person you love leaves, you feel a big hole has been left behind.

There is deffo a problem with searching for the end of the rainbow - my girlfriend and I split up two years ago and we have both been with other people but I still feel a hole that she left. We see each other quite frequently and she has failed to find the same spark, but maintains the search; yet we both admit to still being in love. :-/ Head screw.

Hyperdictionary had a similar problem defining it:

Meaning of LOVE
Pronunciation: luv
Definition: [n] sexual activities (often including sexual intercourse) between two people; "his lovemaking disgusted her"; "he hadn't had any love in months"; "he has a very complicated love life"
[n] any object of warm affection or devotion; "the theater was her first love" or"he has a passion for **** fighting"
[n] a deep feeling of sexual desire and attraction; "their love left them indifferent to their surroundings"; "she was his first love"
[n] a strong positive emotion of regard and affection; "his love for his work"; "children need a lot of love"
[n] a beloved person; used as terms of endearment
[n] a score of zero in tennis or squash; "it was 40 love"
[v] have sexual intercourse with; "This student sleeps with everyone in her dorm"; "Adam knew Eve" (know is archaic); "Were you ever intimate with this man?"
[v] have a great affection or liking for; "I love French food"; "She loves her boss and works hard for him"
[v] be enamored or in love with; "She loves her husband deeply"
[v] get pleasure from; "I love cooking"
