You don't stay in a relationship where you find no happiness all in the name of "love"

Sometimes you just have to let go not because you don't love or care, but for your own peace of mind and to avoid troubles

Depends on the "situation" & on whether the feelings are mutual or not.

Because there's a very thin line between resolution, foolishness & having stalkerish tendencies. Sometimes you just let go. Not because you don't care, but for your own peace of mind. Life is too short. After all, nothing is guaranteed, so why waste time trying time after time? No thanks.
don't you think that what we call love most times emanate from excessive familiarity and intimacy....?
you tend to start growing feelings for people when you keep spending more time wit them especially when you both share a common interests,likes and both compatible

Sometimes we leave those we love because letting them go is the only way to prove we love them.


If you have never being in love with someone who finds happiness in another, you may never understand me.

If you haven't been in love with someone whom your presence in their lives will only give them pains, you may find me crazy

There is always someone in a person's life whom they love but can't be with.
that wasn't love @ll, its 'infatuation' and sometimes 'lust'

i love every girl named ruth.but would they love me back? no! then some would say am obssesed! but agape love is not emotional love!
Also true love is not based on looks ie when your expectation of someone u claim to love is dashed at first sight or meeting what would u do? should love be about appearance only or location.or it must be from above only?

Love is a process that requires beings to be balanced in quite a number of ways, it doesn't happen just laidat. I don't love my 'relationship' partner yet, but i'm certain we'll cross the bridge when we get there.

After making some sense in the beginning you went off the rail at the end.

Love is a process that grows with time, but 'being with someone you don't love yet' in the hope of loving him/her in the future is like gambling with fate. It reeks of confusion, and not knowing what you want. Well, I believe there are benefits you're getting from the relationship and that's the main reason you are there...

You need to evaluate your priorities.

Best of lucks.

Is it love or lust?

Here's a quick to determine as recommended by experts.

1 - When you become overcome in throes of passion for a woman;
2 - Find a quiet place.
3 - Beat your meat. Choke your carrot - (which ever euphemism appeals to you, the goal is the same);
4 - Achieve release
5 - If you are still thinking about the person, it is love;
6 - But if you immediately wonder what all the fuss is for, and want to hit the bed, or take a sip of your favourite whiskey
7 - It is lust.

Tested and trusted.

You should also do this for important decisions.


true talk bro, no mind all this articles

It's a mutual thing but if the two are willing then they will find st least one resin to hold on to except there is a compelling reason to part.

You just rewrote my thread in a different way.

It simply means the other person does not love you...it's a mutual thing so you may love someone that does not want you in return and in that case...move on.

The thread says "how to know if you truly love someone" not "how to know if someone truly loves you"

whenever it comes to love I find language too deficient to define.
Someone said that when you do kindness and expect something in return you're not really doing kindness, you're doing business.
I use the same formula for Love. But, sometimes it is more complicated than that because, human behavior is not a one way lane.

Even my favorite poet wasn't really able to define love for me.

This is a mystery the world is yet to unravel.

A man can cheat on a lady yet love her to pieces but when a lady cheats on her man then it's a most certain she is no longer in love with the man...

Love is just like everything...it has a beginning and it has an expiry date. Mine ended about an hour ago...

She cheated on me the first time in 2016...yet i forgave her

She did it again just late last year...i confronted her 3 weeks ago and she was adamant and unremorseful...i decided to end it within me and did not call her for those 3 weeks, then she called me just an hour ago and i reminded her of 3 weeks ago, told her i can't continue to play the fool anymore and she hung up. I know i am hurt but i'll be fine. Goodbye Chinyere...was nice knowing you from 2 Feb 2014 - 11 Feb 2018 cry cry

Often times we use the words "I love you" but with a little tilt in the emotional balance,we tend to walk away from the lives of the people we claim to love.

I have heard countless excuses why many couples break up and in most cases,these excuses are lame, unreasonable and indeed as the name implies,an excuse they just want to hold on to in order to carry out their predetermined intent of leaving.

There will always be a reason to stay or leave any romantic union we find ourselves and in most cases,there will be more reasons to leave rather than stay but if you truly love someone,you will make excuses for their flaws and you will meticulously find one reason to remain in their lives.

I hope this makes sense.
Yes! i loved her so much that I always sought for a reason to stay even when she hurts me. but i noticed she never loved me that much, reason why she took me for granted severally. I forgave her the last time she snubbed me and when it was just as if things were settled once again, I left d relationship. I don't think I want to offer her another opportunity to hurt me again. M gone and gone for. good.

The OP is perfectly correct and you're are perfectly correct as well... But wait a minute, if both are right, then what is now wrong? I think It is the circumstances which such love finds itself, the TIME and KNOWLEDGE( ignorance and fear/wisdom) that will tell which of the two sides it goes.
In summary, I generalise it to mean LOVING SOMEONE DOESN'T NECESSARY MEAN YOU HAVE TO STAY TO PROVE YOU LOVE THEM.

Name anything that will cause love to scatter, you will observe some people left because of it and some survived it in the same or different times. And of course, ignorance or knowledge(Fear/wisdom) applies here as well.
