Do we love each other the same?

Do you think love is ever equal from both parties in a relationship or will one person always love more?

I think one will always love more. It seems the one who cares less has more power.
But I also think in LTR the person who loves more/less can change over time as life happens and feelings change.

I think it can be quite complex. I agree with Confused that it can change over time. I also think that different people feel more comfortable in different roles. For example, I would say that my ex-boyfriend adored me in a way that DH doesn’t. But that’s not necessarily a good thing - being adored sounds lovely, but it didn’t bring always out the best in me! I knew I could behave badly and he’d forgive me (disclaimer: this was years ago and I was young and immature) whereas with DH I think we have a more equal partnership.
