i believe that love is only one and everlasting. If someone said to me that i love you no more, then i think he had mistake to describe his feelings, i think that is only a moment attraction not love. or if one man stated that he in love with two women at the same time, that is not love. just passion! what do you think?

Hi,
Well the kind of love you are talking about is actually based on attraction. Two people can't come close even to become friends if they are not attracted to each other. Now, sometimes physical attraction becomes the dominant factor in a relationship. This ultimately ruins the essence of the relationship itself. Now the physical beauty doesn't stay for long. So there becomes a need for mental attachment as well. In long run its this psychological attachment that keeps people together. Infatuation and attachment is the starter of any mortal relationship. They can't be blamed as as human beings we have only few other options. Thanks
God bless you

Yes ifa225, but your idea of love is the conventional type or in the 'ideal' sense. You would feel differently if you went through the same abuse as those who did, most especially physical and emotional abuse. Same with being cheated on. You'll see that regardless how 'in love and willing to give your all unconditionally' you feel, but when you realize that he's not feeling the same way - your love will eventually fade.

I know its hard to accept this harsh reality, but even an 'ideal', 'heavenly' and 'unconditional' human relationship is based on certain predefined conditions, violation of which may end up in complete ruin of the relationship. Human behavior is seldom found to be exceptional, one way or the other, they always follow the same pattern.

I beg to differ. There are moments in time when a person cause you pain enough to diminish the true feeling of love you have for that someone. Particularly when you find out that he isn't who you thought he was, this may be in the form of:
a. Finding out he's married - you love the person so much, ready to have a family with the person, only to be told that he's got a wife and kids. That'll surely diminish your love.
b. Catching him/her cheating - I know of a close family friend who a few days prior to their wedding catches her groom in bed with someone else! I don't this her love was not true since she was ready to marry the guy!
c. Being abused physically or emotionally - I think if you really love the person you expect the person to respect you. Hitting or physical abuse is the worst thing a person would do, right? It could certainly diminish true love when you're beaten out of your senses.
This and a lot more factors could clearly make the person say 'I love you No MORE!' and I can't blame them. I would too if those happened to me.

what i am trying to say is you can ended the relation, but not the love itself.
my aunt had a husband. he did physical and emotional abuse to her. they got divorce, but she never make it any relation with any other guy because she still loves her husband.
she should hate him, but what happened is the contradictory. no matter what, deep in her heart no one could replace his husband.
sometimes love fall into wrong person and make us blind. the logical thinking could not use when we face the love.

Yeah, perhaps but it's not always the case. There are far more people who ended the relationship with the love feeling also ended.
Remember that love fades - well, the intensity of the love fades. Regardless if you're still together over the years or have ended the relationship.

Actually, there isn't anything that is everlasting, hence, the same goes for love or hate. When a person goes into a relationship, it's often a true and sincere feeling put in. However, with time passing and many ongoings and situations happening every second, the feelings change as a result of how one reacts to happenings. This is why at times, the love deepens and yet at times, it diminishes. This is also why after hurting, a party feels less for the other but after reflections and with efforts to remedy and tolerance, after passing of time, the relationship/feelings deepens again. Feelings fluctuate like forex heeheehee.

saliyzhu true love only deepens over the years, anything less yes it does well to reach five years, the kind of love that holds two people together to care for each other and their children is an unselfish love, that is not like most peoples love that changes with moods like you change outfits, the love that makes people believe in and live their wedding vows, most people are too damned selfish to be able to love that way. a lot of people my age have had long successful marriages with just one man.

I think that this gets us to a core truth that, unfortunately, is tough to acknowledge and is therefore not really mentioned or talked about all that often, which is that love, on some level, is intellectual.
I think that there is often initially physical attraction. Compatibility is considered out of that. However, after that, for it to ever be more that just lust or raw, animalistic physical attraction, one has to see if one connects with the other person on more levels. That's where the intellectual element comes in. Can you carry on a conversation? Do you connect on a spiritual, political, emotional level? All these questions -- even the last -- are answered on an intellectual level.
Given that, absolutely people can fall out of love. I'm minimalizing the hell out of it, but in the same way that you can stop liking a particular actor, or realize you now like a color that you used to hate. These are intellectual changes.
People romanticize love, and appropriately so. However, when we fail to see that there's more to it than just what Hollywood and Hallmark tell us there is, we lose sight of the big picture.

intellectual level?
but i think sometime when we fall in love our logical thinking could not work even we try to do it.
like example, i am falling in love with bad guy, poor, ugly. my logical think that i should not love him. it is better for me to fall in love with handsome, rich and good guy. but still i can't fight the feelings.

But see, even that I'd say has an intellectual element to it. Like, something about the "bad guy" makes him seem right to you. It may not make sense logically, but even if it just comes down to, "I feel better when I'm with him than when I'm with another, and I like feeling better," that would be an intellectual decision. I'm not saying that's all there is, or even that that's mostly what it is. Just saying that there is that part to it.

It is possible to love two or three at the same time. Depends on the energy of that person. But when he/she admitted that i love you no more, it only means the he/she have enough of you. Love in reality fades, just like life or our youth looks. We cant force people to love us and that's fact. It comes of our free will when we chose to love or loving. If we want to save our love, then selfless must come in and take out our pride and being selfish. Well time will tell.

ifa I agree it is sometimes nothing but plain old lust.same with a man lusting after two women , thats mere lust or passion to use a nicer
word. but it is only physical, nothing more, he could care less after'he get his kicks what happens to her. real love cares deeply and stays caring and faithful. Real love cannot be easilyswayed, it is permanent'
anything else is just physical passion and will not last.

yes ifa great discussion if it just makes a few mylotters think things out as real love is not just physical attraction and without that real love the passion will grow old soon and die out. there has to be so much more, then its the love that will sustain you all your life.

love is very difficult. pure and sincere love may no longer exist. I do not believe in love. love just hurts. happiness because love only comes when the initial course, the love faded after time goes by. so I do not care about the name of love. for me love is a beautiful story but not the meaning,

Yes I do not love her any more, cause she did not love me. But I am happy. why? She lost one who loved her very much, and I lost one who never loved me. Who is the looser? Its not true that love can be happened one time and by one only. When you feel that somebody cares for you, thinks for you, then you will space in your heart for him/ her. That is known as love.

Hi again ifa... like to paste here the whole chapter but I am not yet allowed because of my ranking but the first essence of the first verse is even the person have all the reaches of this world like money, fame, career, family, etc but have no love then this things is useless because love is not self-centered but a considerate one.
