Is the fear of loss an important idicator of love?

For me, yes, fear of losing that someone you love or care is an important factor of love coz you cant truly love or care for that person if you dont care whether he/she is there or not

for me,,,nope. it's really up to you to discover the excitement/feeling

That's a good question, and I'm glad you asked, especially tonight. I was trying to explain something of this nature to someone, and at the time he didn't really get it. I think he may by morning, thanks to a carefully worded e-mail...anyway, let's hope. Of course it's an indicator of love. If we didn't love a person, we would not fear losing that person. To the partner we fear losing, those fears may appear unfounded, but to us they are very real. If someone says or does something that is interpreted wrong, it doesn't matter whether or not they meant to do that, what mattters is how their actions made their loved one FEEL!!! We have to be careful not to take love for granted. Then there are those truly unfounded fears, we fear losing our loved ones for no good reason at all. When one partner or both feel that way, they need to talk about it. Iften times people fear losing their love because they don't feel worthy of being loved by such a wonderful person. Those cases are truly unfounded and are often a result of low self esteem on the part of the worrying partner. What the other partner needs to do is to reassure the panicing partner with love and affection that s/he has nothing to fear. The bottom line is that we can not take love for granted, and need to be reminded every day that we are loved, as we need to remind our respective partners how much we love them.

I don't think that fearing loss is a good indicator of love. Actually I believe otherwise. The fear of loss drives the person to be possessive, needy and clingy which in turn will kill love.

It could be an indicator but not a sole indicator of love. There are lots of things that can indicate love as a whole.
