I sometimes wonder if real, deep romantic love is actually quite rare. A lot of people are in relationships because of convenience, compatibility or even just fear of being alone rather than because they are truly, deeply in love. I think many people mistake affection, attraction or attachment for love but real love - the kind that changes you, consumes you and feels almost transcendent - is something only a few people ever experience.
And then there are those who might never experience it at all. Not because there’s anything wrong with them but just because the right circumstances or person never came along.
AIBU to think that love, at least in its deepest form, is much rarer than people like to admit?
