Anyone else here who doesn’t believe in love?

And I mean now more of the partnership, committed, romantic (not sexual) love.

Don’t start listing how you love your kids or nature.

I mean the, I choose you, let’s share this life together - what other people - kind of love.

Is that even real?

How interesting how so many people consider the ”in love” part to be in the beginning.

I think pretty much everyone does, don't they? That's the way it is usually described. Because falling 'in love' is the beginning bit. And famously people whose relationships are failing later on say 'I love you, but I'm not in love with you any more'.

@Fairislefandango
Honestly I didn’t know/think that way at all.
I really thought the IN part came after you know them.
So established relationship.

But yes, of course people can fall out of it.

@Watchkeys
Well, but it’s true, isin’t it?

I know this is few days late, but I’ve been thinking about what you wrote.

I’m not sure what tou meant with your comment.

I meant that you need to realise that you are responsible for the amount of people in your life who care about you, and if you feel that there aren't enough for your liking, it's up to you to go out and increase your social circles.

I think that possibly the stuff you think 'doesn't' exist is actually stuff you haven't taken responsibility for going out and finding, and that maybe you think it's meant to just 'happen' to you. For some people, it does, but many people are settled in unhappy relationships due to this belief.

Take responsibility. Shape your own experience. Shape your own life.
