Have you ever fallen in love with someone who says that they love you too?

Only to find later that they don't really, or that it is some kind of game, or that if they do love you they don't love you the way that you need them to?
What did you do? I just went ahead and hoped that he would learn from the way that I loved him however after 2 1/2 years I have finally given up.

No need to waist your time on someone who wasn't honest with you to begin with. I have found that some men will say they love you to get what they want. Then when they have found their next victim, they move on. I think that it makes us much stronger in our upcoming relationships. It is hard to get over someone that we have fallen in love with, but when they have moved on, it is time for us to also.

I have done just that. It is hard as you say but at some point one's pride must step into the breach and stop one from making a fool of or fooling themselves.

well I have been with my boyfriend right now for 4 years, and I'm not sure he loves me the way I love him. I know he DOES love me, but I am ready to settle down and start a life with him....but he is always at work. I mean always. I see him a couple hours like every other day. Somtimes he is so busy I won't hear from him for a couple days. I feel like if he can go a few days without bothering to call, he can't possibley love me that much. I don't really know what I am going to do about it, though.

The best you can do is learn from the experience and chalk it up to experience. You can't really teach people to love you. You might be able to make someone need you or lean on you but eventually they'll resent you for that. I would be thankful I learned the truth before it seriously messed up my life. If you're escaping the bad relationship with no children and no divorce to deal with, you've lost nothing but your time and surely there were a few good times or you wouldn't have stuck it out two and a half years.
