The 'romantic love' I've felt in the past has felt stifling and suffocating. They occupied my mind all the time and it drove me mad. Not very healthy at all. Probably a combination of being with the wrong people and my own issues. I don't think I've ever experienced true mutual romantic love.

"love" is hell, "love" sucks

signed The Grinch,

people with no sense of individuality/self get lost in lust and think it's love, then they lose themselves...potato

Love is an oxytocin addiction.

indeed, lmfao :lol:

Love, as we have defined it primarily in this thread, seems to be the mutual affection between two people in an ongoing, romantic relationship, or courtship.

However, that is just one aspect of love, and it gets so screwy because it's involved with sexuality.

Why does love drive us mad when it's the romantic kind? Because something about sharing our bodies with another person is deeply confirming of our basic value as a human being, reinforced by cultural standards of 'sex is success'.

It's one thing to feel the animalistic inspiration of sex along with genuine affection, yet people tend to take it too far and create a whole new identity around being accepted so fully by another. In my opinion, relationships or courtship is not nearly as important as feeling daily compassion and warmth for others as a member of the human race.

It takes a lot of strength of will to be in a relationship and to remain unhampered by overweening attachments, to feel that love without letting it turn into lust.

and therein lies the dilemma.

:freud:

In romance and love we often become enmeshed and lose our independent identity.

If it ends we can feel angry, empty, lost, with no drive to live. We don't feel human.

When a lover leaves us, we adopt the title of "dumped". The crown of victim-hood.
