Most of the time you only care to know if he/she love you, have you ever thought if you are loved enough or you are given half cup.

That's really hard to say. Love is an emotion that cannot be truly quantified. Since you can't establish a quantity, then how much is enough? I think if a person at least returns the devotion that you give to them, that's a good indication that they love you. Is that enough? I guess that answer is up to the individuals involved.

But if that's so, how come even when one is still reciprocating the love they still go out and misbehave. Is it that the devotion is not enough?

That's the individual part. You can love a person, but not be with them for different reasons. I love my parents, but they live 1800 miles away from me. I don't think they love me any less because they chose to move when they retired, it was a hard decision for them but it's what they wanted to do, and I respect that. Partners love each other when they are together, and should when they are apart. Some couples even survive forced separation, like when one gets incarcerated. But some don't. It's up to the individual to determine if the behavior of the significant other is acceptable. If you feel that your partner's mis-behavior is a form of disrespect, or an indication that they do not love you the same that you love them, then you have to decide what is in your best interest. I had a girlfriend and we were in love. But we soon learned that love would not lead anywhere positive. She felt a relationship that lead to marriage should also soon after lead to children. I agreed with the first part, but not the second. I feel that couples should enjoy themselves first before committing to children. That difference in belief was insurmountable, so we did not continue our relationship.

I do feel as though my husband loves me enough. It's not really something that I doubt or have ever really doubted. It is true that love is difficult to measure, but I don't really have a reason to doubt that.

I have had my shares of doubting his love for me, and i have had my shares of feeling very secured of his love for me. sometimes though as a woman, we tend to ask more of the assurance, we want to be told all the time and that is not how it works for our partners (male) who is not very demomstrative of their love unlike us women.

I can say that I feel loved that loved me enough but as the saying always more. Sometimes we think that we are loved enough and maybe not. nobody can say what you feel others think. maybe you should show more love and then you feel loved enough and sufficiently happy. so love to be loved. nice day. I liked this discussion.

It's hard to say but do I can feel that my girl love me so much. Do you feel like your partner doesn't love you enough? Why are you feeling that way?

it is so hard to say if my partner love me enough or not..for me, we can't measure love..and if we'll try to measure the love of our partner, we'll end up discontented..because there's a tendency that we believe we give more love than our partner gives to us..i just enjoy what my partner gives me, as long as i'm sure that i'm giving my whole love to my partner..my relationship with my partner isn't perfect, but i'm happily contented with the love we reciprocate..
