Why does love hurt?
Posted: 6/9/2008 2:22:53 PM
It is really simple. If it is truly love it shouldn't hurt at all. Please keep in mind love is not a game, a crush, a lust or an infatuation. If the person does not have the same feelings (love) towards you it's not love. The only time it hurts when people are mislead by unethical ***holes that play games who are out to use you. I have learned this in life the hard way although I am sure it could have been worse, I lucked out by making the right decisions in life so far pertaining to this matter. As soon as you realize this things become easier.

Note that people's interpretation of "love" differs greatly. That's why it's always good to be in a relationship with someone who has a similar outlook on life.

In general you should be aware that love cuts both ways. It can make feel like you're on top of the world as equally well as make you wish you were six feet deep. As Huey Lewis said "That's the power of love."

Love does not hurt, falling out of it or losing it from someone you love does.

Unfortunately love has to be a two way street.

Keep in mind there is a difference between loving someone and "being in love with someone".

NYTB... real love hurts and feels good.. and it lasts.. if you have kids you know the prime example... however between two people it takes a bond that has to be built to endure.. and i am not speaking of stay in any abusive type marriage, a real love marriage... takes a lifetimes devotion... and i thought i'd married that too... yes understanding what happens hurts... it'll still bring back memories... however... i've seen it.. a real love marriage, and seen what it does and i want that.... so.. in life we do our best... and hey cards fall where they may... hope for the best... and learn from the rest...

real corny but it works

I thought I was in love a couple times in my life..but when things ended I just went back to being me with no regrets...until it happened! I fell head over heals in love with this guy..it was magical!! So to say love doesnt hurt is a severe understatement....I am sorry but I was not aware you had to wait until someone was in love with you before you could fall in love with them..correct me if im wrong but I know I was in love I knew I wanted to spend the rest of my life with this man....just because he didnt have feelings as strong as mine I am supposed to not hurt because he didnt love me the way I loved him I mean come on what does your response even mean??? To put it correctly if it DOESNT hurt it wasnt love...that I will agree with. you cant get hurt if you dont get ur heart involved

hopeless love i tend to agree with you. There it is love and then there is LOVE. Can't even compare the 2. When you hear see and talk and everything reminds you of this person your heart drops and you feel so sad. I believe taking a chance and being volnerable and possibley getting hurt is part of stepping out of your comfort zone and living life to the fullest even though you may end up hurt. That is the chances we have to take. If we don't we will never know what it feels like and never know true love. Just getting along with someone does not constitute love. Love goes deep and has no limit. Some are not capable of deep passionate head over heals love. I am and I found it and because of our differences and where he is at in his life he is not ready for a commited relationship. So that leaves me with this big burning love in my heart that has to be put out. Snuffed out. I keep doing that but when I see him or hear his voice the embers start rekindling and boom the fire starts again.

Love doesn't hurt, on the contrary, it is amazing! It is the absence of mutual love that hurts.
Love is a bond between two people that goes beyond logic and reason, one that overwhelms the mind and senses enough to do things that are aporiable. But when only one person out of these two have this emotion they might not realize that the other might not reciprocate and it is this naiveity that blinds them from the plain and simple truth that they might get hurt as if they were in a relationship that doesn't mean anything what so ever! When/if they do get hurt then they can't understand why this person, who apparently loved them, did what they did. The answer is quite simple: Either that other person doesn't reciprocate or they need reminding that what they are doing to those that they love the most is in fact hurting them! If they change their ways, at least enough to show that they desperately want to try, then they love you back. If they don't then they don't love you back.
Unfortunately the word love is used far too often or perhaps the bond associated with that word is perceived to be far stronger that it actually is.

LOVE SHOULD NOT HURT. LOVE DOESN'T HURT and if it does, then it isn't love


Maybe you need some good kink in your life!

Love hurts because people base relationships on "chemistry" rather than taking their time and getting to know one another.

What is true love,
If ever there was a top 10 list for philosophy questions this one has to be up there.

I would say it is when you are unable to think much of anything else except the lady of your dreams, (man if you’re a woman) when you feel a state of euphoric bliss, and you would do anything within your power to help and protect the. Even at the expense of your own life

Love doesn't hurt-but rejection can, especially from someone you have strong feelings for. Love is an emotion just like joy and saddness. Yes, being with someone you care about leaves you feel good, but when you have a falling out-it hurts like hell. No one wants to feel emotional or physical pain-but for me, at least, knowing, despite having lost at love a time or two I am still able to love a person again.

The problem with men is that they are fickle. Love you until something better comes along. Love you as long as you...fill in the blank.

I give up.
