How many times did you seriously fall in love in life?

what you are describing is not love but rather infatuation, lust, and co-dependency. and this can and does happen a lot. with true love the mate does not take you breath away,they give you strenght you did not know existed by being at your side. You feel empowered and free. Love frees you never enslaves you. so perhaps you might get a few more what is love ideas befor you commit yourself to takes your breath away when they leave, that is usually considered panic. and that definatly is not love.
