Ac0rn Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 I wanted to see what your ideas about this were. I was told by someone once that if you've truly loved someone, you will always love them, even if you're not in love with them. Do you guys think this is true?

O-shen Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 It would depend on the person and the history........................BUT for me.................Yes. I was with my ex for 8 years and we were both deeply in love with each other. We had our extreme highs, and our tragic lows. She could be an angel one day, an absolute demon the next. Regardless of all this, we shared alot together, we were there for each other, we grew up together. She knows me better than anyone, as i do her. Its a shame that we havent talked in months, but i accept that. I may not be IN LOVE with her anymore, but i do have alot of love for her. I care for her very much and wish her only the best for the future, whateva that may be, and for her to be happy. Its what i always wanted for her.......and the fact we are no longer together...........doesnt change that. I think i will always love this woman in some way. And i think thats okay.

lovetogive Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 yeah, I think so. I was truly in love with my first husband, sadly it didn't work out, both of us to blame. I still do care about him and wish the best for him...I hope he is happy with his life. At the same time, I don't want him back... life was too much of a rollercoaster ride out of control, we were a good match in many ways, but life with him was either pure heaven or pure hell... not much middle ground... it's amazing that middle ground is easier to deal with than extreme highs.

engraved2008 Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 There are some people in our lives that we love forever... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WindowTo Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 No. I was betrayed by someone and I don't have any love for them any more. However, relationships that ended without any malice tend to leave a lingering love for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eocsor Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 I'd say no. My marriage lasted over 10 years and I was very much in love with my ex wife but after the amount of time that has passed, I can honestly say no, I don't love her or even think of her anymore.

truegrit Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Nooooooo! Actually the only person in my life that I can truly say that I hate (I know this is bad) is my first husband. Horrible physical and mental abuser and has hurt my children (emotionally) his whole life. No way can you care about someone who has affected your life in this way.

Lithp Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 I believe that if you truly love someone then yes, that love does not go anywhere. It may change or evolve but it will always be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ac0rn Posted October 28, 2011 Author Share Posted October 28, 2011 I forgot to include the part with the exception of abuse, cheating, or any other extreme thing like that. I guess I meant more in the sense if one feels the relationship just isn't working anymore, or GiGs kicks in, or if it gets boring. I can see that's where the line is mostly drawn with the responses.

lalalollipops Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Yeah I think it does. It becomes a less active version. But deep inside some part of you will always have a soft spot for them. I'm talking about if there was genuine love. Not 'love' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MsMargarita Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 True if every time you fall out of love you redefine love for yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Notagoodninja Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 I'm not sure if you "love" them but you've given them a part of yourself for sure its even Biblical, that if you have sex with someone you become one with them in your spirit. So unfortunately a bunch of us are running around with some baggage lol.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
