The word 'love'

The word ‘love’ seems to be used nowadays too quickly.

People who don’t really love each other and still claim they do. Here I nagg again, but my ex used to say he ‘loved’ me. I personally think, if you do love someone, you will want that person to be happy and not make life difficult for that person. So I don’t believe he loved me. The way he treated me, I was just like a servant, something he possessed. It wasn’t normal love. Now he married another girl who has exactly my name! So my mother once said, that she thinks he does love me, because why else would he choose a second wife with my name too, he married her in 2005. I don’t believe he really loved me. I think it was strange love, if that was love!

Or what about friends who say how much they ‘love’ you, while deep inside they don’t. You hear later one day from other friends how that one ‘loving’ friend was saying awful things about you.

People who don’t even know you that well, start telling you they ‘love’ you.

All so fake. Maybe we should think very carefully if we really love a person, or care about that person or just like that person or whatever.

These days people treat the word "love" so lightly thus it has lost its true meaning in my opinion..

Re: The word ‘love’

^ Agreed.

It’s said so easily, just like ‘Hi, let me introduce myself. I’m Bladibla and I love you.’

:disgust: I don’t like people saying they ‘love me’ when they just got to know me.

Love is supposed to be unconditional right? So prove it, before you say it.

My 2 cents.

^ I agree. I've noticed that the word "love" gets thrown around too easily and too quickly that it has lost its value and in a sense become an over-rated concept as some people believe. But considering the divorce/infidelity rates and even the news reports of parents killing their children....u question it's existence. I'm not saying love doesn't exist. I'm fortunate to have a family that sincerely loves me, AH. But the older I get, I don't really believe in the illusory concept of "true perfect love" that is often portrayed in the movies because people aren't perfect so neither are the relationships.

And yes I also find it weird how people who don't know you that well say, "I love you." I can understand it if the acquaintance has become a sincere and close cherished friend who knows you very well. But if you don't know each other well...."i love you" has a sort of fake superficial twang to it.

Re: The word ‘love’

Yes, you’re right redvelvet.
There’s no such thing as a ‘true perfect love’.
It’s just fairytales. Nobody’s perfect.

The only true perfect love, is the love a mother has for her child. Which Alhamdulillah, I am truly blessed with. So if there was anyone who would say ‘I love you’, and I’d believe it, it would be my mother.

I don’t know why those people say it, is it because they want you to like them? It only freaks me out and makes me feel very uncomfortable :bummer:
