you can love a puppy but you would not ask it for help if you are in a jam, ask advice on important matters, admire it for its hard work ethic ingenuity and integrity...
a lot of people treat their SO like puppies. they cherish them even treat them courteously , but don't feel respect towards them.
@Azara It would be a cold day in hell when I asked someone for advice haha. I'm super into self sufficiency, I see your point tho. Think most guys/girls ask their friends for their opinions on most things, especially on SO's behaviour. Think most relationships show a decent level of respect not including that.
\though i guess yo could also argue that in your opinion 'this is not love'. I might myself. but i can't be sure. bc i dont know how much love is how you love and how a person wants to be loved. i dont accept love without respect so id say that doesn't count as love for me.. but, doesn't mean if there's a guy who doesn't respect me doesn't feel like he loves. so its complicated.
This is open for interpretation, your interpretation. The question is essentially asking which is more vital in a romantic relationship-for me, I choose respect, but all answers are welcome.

You can't love someone you don't respect.
yeah, you can feel warm and cuddly about them and to you that can be love.
see anon male response, he explains it pretty well.

There is no love without respect and vice versa..
Respect is more important in the long term.
Definition of love and respect please?
