what is the difference between loving and being in love
Re:what is the difference between loving and being in love LettinGo: I have absolutely no idea ???
I honestly believed that the love I had for STBX ran so much deeper than just 'being in love'. I thought it was something lasting and special ... not butterflies in the tummy, but something burning in my heart forever.
Now I just have no clue.

Re:what is the difference between loving and being in love Tantan: I think that people define being in love as that romantic passion feeling we get usually the first few months of the relationship. I read in a article that we actually produce some sort of hormone that helps to create that feeling, you know the no need of sleep or food, the person is perfect no matter what they do kind of thing......eventually that feeling fades and thats when we have to commit to loving the person we are with anyway, for real. For me to love is a choice, a decision we make. When we choose to love we decide to look at the other person in a positive light and we back up those thoughts with positive actions. To love someone is to always want the best for them, to protect them, to put there needs before your own. Kind of like deciding to be selfless. As soon as we decide to be selfish, thats when we choose not to love and problems begin to appear......
I think when people say they left the marriage because they fell out of love.....just another excuse.
Sometimes we may get into a place in which we are having difficulties seing the positive in the other and we may not feel so loving towards them, thats when we have to dig down deep inside ourselves, stay commited, do some self inventory, and re-commit to the relationship...I think if you once loved someone in the way you needed to in order decide to marry them, those feelings can always be re-established as long as you both commit to do so. Its always a choice
