True or False-'Sometimes love just ain't enough...'?


That is a very interesting question. I think that's not entirely true.
For example, my husband does love me but he loves me in his own way. As in he provides for me and my kids. He is faithful and he spends some time with me. But he is not a "counselor" or a "theologian" or a "girlfriend" or someone who can empathize with me and have good listening skills. He just doesn't have some skills but he is good with others. Because of that I have to find counselors, and pastors and other girlfriends who do have the skills that I am looking for to fulfill me...
Hard to find the complete experience with a partner/spouse. It means you have to give yourself completely and be understood when you do. Then it being fluid. In them knowing you in an intuitive manner to make you feel complimented and completed
This week I came to the conclusion that love and responsibility are sometimes two different things. Lets say hypothetically that a man or woman has an alcoholic father or mother who is always hitting them and swearing profanities at them. The person's responsibility is not to love the hateful person or get emotionally involved with them but to take care of them in old age or to treat them with a limited degree of consideration.
Even with the parent example. Can love make an alcoholic parent put the needs of others before their drink?
Love is a mirror3d version of how we see ourselves, we seek what we lack in another person. If the desire is not equal it is not real love. I think in todays age it is harder to make people realize the simple things in life, including people a d materialistic things that do not matter.
yup those crucial small things
It sucks
True, there always has to be more. Not necessarily sexual, but there has to be something else.
yes, the glue that binds all in respect to others intangibles
I don't agree. Love goes two ways so it isn't really love if its one sided.
sure, it is the fire that needs other ignitors

Very true.
regretfully so
So true... I guess it is never enough for some people
it is very tough, relationship for there are so many intangibles that create success
True. Sometimes focusing on yourself is more effective. As someone who has depression, a lot of the time a lover doesn't always fill the hole
i think in a union, you need to look after both as a couple. as well as support the individual and their respective needs
Ultra true.
Takes patience, self respect, tact and some crazyness to make things work.
Yes, a lot of mortar to seal the bricks of love
Yes it's true. Two people can love each other very much but not make it work for various reasons.
even away from lovers. Think parents, siblings, friends etc etc
If only the World was solely pink :)
He he! Stop teasing😋 But yes!

Merely stating a fact.

Lol! I'm just playing.

I disagree love is enough based on your definition for it for me loving someone is a trust and a friendship and safety what else should I need more

Sometimes love isn't enough because in the end mutuality is more important.
love is a chemical impulse to procreate... that wears off
True, which is unfortunate.
