Do you agree with my friends definition of love?

[jennifer_bloom]

She says love is when you will stay loyal to your partner when a better option comes into your life and offers you a relationship.

[Sasha_Gee]

I do not. The connection is just so strong that a 'better option' becomes impossible. A hot guy, is but a hot guy. But your partner isn't just hot, he's got plenty of stories and memories attached to him, the emotional attachment is just too great.

[xJayleenx]

Yes but love is also more than that love is also about being there for someone, making sacrifices, being supportive etc.

[Diodoro]

Disagree. Many do that not out of love but a sense of duty. Staying together for the kids as an example or just being someone of character in a marriage.

There's many who stay because they believe it's the best they can get. And just having other options doesn't matter. Like a Beyonce. Realistically who can she date that she she's on her level if things end with Jay Z?

For a lot of women that's a thing. They only consider men an option by him baseline having certain standards she has for a partner that many men don't even qualify even if they offer.

Love is a deeper matter than that. Tho I would say if someone has many options that THEY are attracted to and they're not in a relationship that carries a sense of duty, that is a stringer indication of love to say this is my person I'm sticking with

Sure, but the current partner has to do their part in the relationship. Love is happiness which is provided on both end. When happiness is contributed by both ends, new options which seems better can come in and it wouldn't cause either person in the relationship to bat an eye because, they are already happy. That "new" option is instantly blocked out and ignored, which wouldn't even make it an option.

However, there is one sided love where you are loyally contributing to the relationship and the other person isn't contributing love into the relationship. They make themselves happy while ignoring your happiness. In this instance, is it worth keeping that person happy while you are unhappy? Is it worth while loving the person more than yourself?

Loyal and faithful/committed are not the same. I think part of love is when you stay faithful/committed when other options appear. So yea I stayed faithful to him because i loved him. But he continued to do the same fcked up stuff so I was not loyal. I didn't cheat but i certain broke up with him and got with someone else. And not as a rebound but as better suited for me and my needs.

Love can fade away when people continue to do you dirty

[JC1981]

If this is your friends view on Love, she has never been In love.
Love and In Love are two very different things. You can love many through your lifetime. But when your In Love with someone, there is no better option. You don't see anyone else in that way. You fully except them as they are, don't try to change them, have an emotional connection, and a genuine care for their happiness.

[America1st]

If the love is real, there is no better option because you wouldn't be paying that much attention to others. If you're talking about looks, that never makes a relationship better unless you are totally plastic.

[the_bruh]

Nah, love is when you do something for someone without thinking about the consequences, or with no intention of anything in return. So basically an act or feeling, without any thought behind it.

[DizzyDesii]

If i rescue a stranger because theyre in a dangerous setting, it wasn't out of love. And i dont expect a reward in return. I did it because i have a good heart and quick reflexes. Dont let a caring person fool you into thinking they love you

[the_bruh]

You clearly had a thought that if you didn't help the stranger he would be hurt. You did it out of morality

[DizzyDesii]

Which is not the same as love

[the_bruh]

Exactly

[Santhasiss]

The only thing that stays is love but it might change to different person place think or any sine we are human we don't have the fixed love on one think it will definitely change
For example if you buy a phone from your first salary it might be the first love on it
If you so keep them in your shelf you just see them after ten years but you won't take it with you
Even love with your partner decrease after your daughter comes into your life

[lrina]

i somewhat agree. while this is certainly part of what love is supposed to be, there is still more to it.

[Static_In_The_Attic]

A glass could be half full or half empty depending on who you ask & as for definition of love how you define it is all that counts.

[GabiBB]

This is genuine love:

[es20490446e]

I think that love is when actually there's no better option. Because you like your partner so much, and what you have built with them is more valuable than any new thing.

[Loveisgirthy]

Love's supposedly a lot more than that.
But I honestly have no proof other than my gay aunt just fell in love in the most like fantastical movie perfect way with the neighbor's husband and now they both divorced their horrible lovers and are moving in together. Their kids love eachother it's a weird bizarre movie kinda nerdy gamer gay-turned-Bi kinda story and the realest proof I've seen so there you go.

[sawno]

No, its what you do when real love is present but its not love on its own.

[RedStiletto88]

There are many ways to define love and I agree that counts as love.

[Citizenkirk]

In the game of love, there are no better options. Till death do you part, that's true love 💕

[ChiTown33]

No! Iove is when another option comes along and you don't even consider it. When you love a woman all the other women disappear so to speak.

[SHB84]

Your friend is sadly mistaken. If you think that another person is a better option, your love has either faded, or it never existed.

[EaterPeter]

Kind of, it's about being joyous and content in my opinion or even stay together in difficult times support each other. Be kind to each other be able to listen and feel pain with your partner.

[EaterPeter]

Thanks for like!

[AdithyaR]

That's loyalty, definitely an integral part of love but not all of it

[Twalli]

With love you don't see that person as a better option.
