How stupid are you when you are in-love?

I recently posted about my friend who was so stupidly inlove with this guy who cheated on her 3 times. But when I think about it I also sometimes become stupid when I am in love. The most stupid thing I did for love is to neglect my friends just to be with her. Its stupid because despite what I did for her she left me. And the ones who are there for me during my "recovery" time are my friends. So now I promised that no matter what I will be there for them even though I'm already in a relationship again. How about you? What stupid things you do for love? And how stupid can you get when you are in love?

In my understanding, any person ain't stupid but love makes them do stupid things. An example would be your friend who still loves the guy even after he cheated on her multiple times (Talk about martyrdom). Like you who neglected your friends to be with your girlfriend. In fact, I've done stupid things in my life for love. I actually did what you did. It's been a year since I left my friends for my boyfriend. They aren't in favor of us dating and so they kinda gave him the cold shoulder, which I am totally unhappy of because they never gave him a chance to prove himself. It wasn't easy to choose between your friends and your lover. But come to think of my situation, my boyfriend never did anything wrong. My friends just closed their doors on him which is totally unfair. So it may be a wrong decision to choose my boyfriend but I'll stick on my decision and whatever happens with our relationship, I just know I deserve to be happy with the ones who truly understands me. Thanks for sharing by the way. Best of luck

Follow-up: You said that you were stupid for choosing "her" over your friends. Think of this quote: "Never regret loving someone because once upon a time, It made you happy"

Yes I agree with you but its really hard not to be bitter especially when the relationship ends really bad. I'll just advise you to do not completely neglect your friends. No matter what happened in your relationship at least you know you have someone you can rely on to no matter what.

I think we say we are stupid because we make decisions that seem right at the time but will one day bite us in the butt. =) I'm being stupid right now. I'm in a relationship with someone who hasn't finalized his annulment yet. I haven't met any of his family except for his eldest brother. However, I have met a lot of his friends and his ex knows about me. Sometimes I feel stupid because I love him so much that I'm willing to wait for him. I don't even know how long it would take. In the past I have always said that I will always decide with my brain not with my heart. But I look at where I am now and I can say I didn't do as I said.

Awww if I'm in your position and if I really love her then I will also wait. Just make sure you are not waiting for nothing okay? You don't want to lose other opportunities in life just because of something not sure to happen. Goodluck.

People do crazy things when they're in love! That's what Meg said to Hercules..hehe. Well that's true, we tend to forget other people (even the one's who are really close to us) when we're in love. It's like our whole world is just revolving around the person we're in love with, which is somehow risky especially when problems/break ups come in. I think it's better not to give your 100% when in love. Better leave something for yourself and for the people around you.

I think it is not love is stupid or you r doning stupid thing in love. It is the situation and affection for someone that we thought right for that time when we are in love. We love our beloved from bottom of our heart and the person who is heartless and not understand your feeling then it is better to leave or stop such relation but before that just once give a chance to other one to be clarify hie or her point. discussion is important when something is missing.

Hi, Don't say yourself stupid...you are just Lost your way. Love is blind,that is why it can make people lost their way when they are in love. For me, my love life is going smoothly,never affected my friendship with all my friends and I still have my own freedom to mingle around with my friends. Always bear in mind, although you are in relationship with SOmeone, it does not mean you don't need your other friends. You still need to spent time with your own friends.Never lost contact with them just because of your LOVE.

That's really good for you. Yes you're right I should always also have time with my friends and not just with my significant someone. I just use stupid because that's what I felt when she left me. Maybe I'm blind but I'm still stupid for dating that kind of girl.

Sometimes the heart gets in the way of our heads. We do things in ove with greater emotion. We don't always think things out completely when we are in love. This leaves us room to make stupid mistakes. It just leaves us feeling dumber than we really are.

Very stupid.LOL!I think lots of people are prone to stupidity when in love and I am no exemption. I can be very stupid when in love and my mind would not accept reasons and advices because my heart has its own reasons that reasons can't understand..haha

You see.. That is one of the reasons friends say you have changed a little bit. I have received a similar comment from my friends. Not that i don't meet them and interact much but sometimes i am really lost thinking about my girlfriend. When we are with friends it is best not to think of them, or even text your partner. She/he will always be there so we need to take out time for our friends too. After all no matter what happens later, whether your gf or bf leaves you, your friends will always be there for you..

Love do can make us do crazy things at times. Me and my boyfriend have been together for almost 5 years, and we've been through a lot of stupid things mind you. He cheated on me once, I didn't care much as I was flirting on my side myself. We fought gazillions of times. We travelled around Europe for I don't know how many times already.. once we rented a tiny little scooter and crossed a very long and high bridge on a very breezy day. We nearly killed ourselves that day LOL But it's occay to be stupid at times, and do stupid things for and with our loved one. Because we live ONCE, and our chance to meet that special someone and doing special things comes once in a million. And eventhough it'll not work out in the end, it'll all become fond memories. These experiences are what gonna shape us in the future :)

When I am inlove, I always do what I want. I'm just being myself. I want things to go on smoothly. I tell him what I want and what I do not want. It is not what you do for the person, it's the matter of communication. What you do for him/her is not stupidity, You do it out of love. And if it is not appreciated, it's up to him/her. You just listened to your heart and that's what really matters.

That's normal when you are in love.... You are really so in love because even a couple of times your girl cheated on you, you still manage to accept her. Of course, it's normal if you, sometimes neglected them, it is because your girl is your first priority. They cannot give you happiness as that of your girl. They understands you a hundred percent because they also want you to be happy. The stupid thing I did for love? well, believe it or not, I have consulted a quack doctor to win back my boyfriend. I have asked for some spells and potion... ha ha ha, sound interesting but still exist. I done it, because there was a woman, who were getting his attention, and I was left alone with tears in my eyes. she was doing everything to have my boyfriend. This sounds like of the fairy tale, but it did happen to us.... I thought, I lost him.... and I was also suffered from her curse (kulam) but, I have overcome it through the help of a famous quack doctor in the province. I told my boyfriend of what my rival done to me, and he didn't believed me. But, on my bf side her sister noticed a different change of behavior in him.. and told him to look for an arbularyo to help him.. and found out also that he was under a spell. They broke the spell. My boyfriend got mad to the girl.. and started avoiding her. He went back and try to win me... after a month, I heard the wedding bells. and we lived happily ever after.

The stupid thing that I have done in my life when I'm in loved was that even my girlfriend cheated me I still accepted her even though it hurts me a lot and still I always remind it where ever I am. 10 months ago when that stupid thing happens and the fact that I remember that stupid thing that she did I can't imagine that someone or the girl I loved would do that may be time will tell if I still want to continue our relationship because until now and even I grow older I won't forget that stupid moment.

"So now I promised that no matter what I will be there for them even though I'm already in a relationship again." I quoted this line because this perfectly ensembles the image of a friend of mine. I truly understand her, but she really is making talk cheap. I am greatly disappointed with her. Not that I am insecure but because it's just too much. We, friends, are saving her every time. But when she clears up her mind and state the quote above, a drastically change of weather comes again. I did not know that it feels so tiring to be a friend somehow. Our last resort was to let her go and advise her to give us a call when she needs us. I know that it's quite bad but that's the least I can do. For your part, I hope you won't disappoint your friends with this promise. And how stupid I am when in love? I cry every night because I am the type who wishes to keep my feelings for myself especially when I know the person I love does not like me as much.

Love people are stupid,that was a truth.Only desperate people who love you love,that kind of feeling is love.Do not care about other people's eyes,so long as you are your eyes only is enough.The world is desperate because they have so many people love a great love story.
