Does true love exist?
- 1.5K opinions shared on Relationships topic.
True love absolutely exists. Think about parents' unconditional love for their children and vice versa, or how deeply someone can love a pet. Loss of a loved one is the most heart wrenching feeling we can experience.
Despite those facts, some people deny that love exists. So, in order to love a partner, you first have to 'believe' that love exists.
Now love doesn't just strike out of the blue like a thunderbolt or a Cupid's arrow. There is no such thing as love at first sight. When that happens, it's infatuation. The feeling of infatuation is what we associate with love. It's one of the best feelings we can experience, but it's not love.
If a person believes that love exists, they are open to it. When two people get through the infatuation stage and begin to see each other, not as the most perfect humans ever created, but as normal people with flaws, love can grow. They have to learn each other's flaws, idiosyncrasies, weaknesses, habits and behaviors, and decide that, despite it all, they like each other. Love doesn't mean that life will be a bed or roses or 24/7 bliss.
Love isn't merely a transaction where you seek to benefit. When you decide to truly love someone, you want your partner to benefit and be happy. There's a certain selflessness. Not that it would be healthy to surrender your own happiness and dignity. No loving partner would want you to do that.
It takes work to keep love alive. It's not easy for two people to get along. It requires communication and compromise. Only when people decide to love are they willing to put in the work. But when they have deep respect, regard and trust in each other, they have something rare that they want to preserve. They are each other's best friends, playmates, helpmates, business partners, and confidants. They are there through thick and thin. If one gets sick or injured, for example, the other will do whatever it takes to save them. And as they get old together, their love remains warm and bright. It's the one thing they treasure above all else.

For me we've all came from the same place so for me we are in away all soul mates
There's five hundred different types of love out there true love is when you truly love yourself and you experienced that and your boyfriend truly loves himself and he experiences that and then you share those experiences through your love for each other if you can't do that then you're going to pick another number out of the 500 different types of love but no matter what you have to both be on the same page on the same level and understanding what love is
If you're honest with each other that's another little piece of true love respecting each other that's another little piece of true love
not being selfish is another form of true love
But you have to understand is we live in a throwaway Society now we go buy something if it breaks we throw it away we'll just go get another one it's cheaper that way and lot of people think the same way about people and their loved one their partner
True love is when you don't run from it but you spell right in the center of it and you make it work that's true love
True love is a form of unconditional love and when you can love somebody like that and trust and respect them and no no matter what no one's going anywhere and you make it work that's true love
No. I don’t even understand what love really is. I know there is parental love like a mother and her child. Or brother to brother and siblings love. Or what you call unconditional-love.
But talking about relationships. I don’t think so. I don’t believe a “True Love” is a real thing. I think it’s infatuation. I think it’s desire. A sexual attraction. A type of passion.
But to brainwash everyone by saying “TRUEE LOVEEE FOREVER AND EVER”.
Is a bit unrealistic and fantasy. Time and time again studies have shown that humans weren’t MEANT to be stuck with one person FOR EVER AND EVER AND UNTIL DEATH DUE US PART.
Time and time again they’ve found that humans are polyamorous. That couples in most cases grow tired of eachother. That the PASSION is short lived.
Studies show that men are wired to spread their seed with as many as they can.
Also. Women as innocent as they’re told they are. Reality says otherwise. A woman is capable of countless orgasms for hours on end. It’s also been known that one sexual encounter is not enough to satisfy a woman while it is for a man when he’s ejaculated.
The shape of a man’s penis is meant to scoop out other males semen from the inside of a woman’s vagina while he goes for his turn.
(Basically a woman is supposed to have countless sexual partners in one night until she becomes pregnant.
A man is supposed to impregnate as many women as he can forever.)
We’re all supposed to be polyamorous!

Soulmates are relationships that require little effort. You just click that well. Enough to be open and accepting of the other person. You meet people you trust from the get go.

It does exist but I don't believe in soul mates or "the one" type of bullshit. Love is very confusing, can be difficult at times and there's a very thin line between love and hate. Its so messy and confusing but that is the fun part of love.

What do you mean by true love? The fairy tale love where everything is perfect and stays the same until you grow old and die together holding each other? Then it doesn't exist. And I don't believe that there is someone special for everyone out there. In my opinion, love is attraction, respect, understanding, friendship, adjustments, happiness, sadness, compatibility and probably other things I am missing, all together. It changes over time. When I first met my girlfriend, we were passionate about each other, we were flirting all the time and it was all euphoria. As we grew into the relationship, we are still passionate, but we became best friends. It doesn't feel all hot all the time being around her. It feels peaceful. There were a lot of things we didn't know about each other but that has changed over the time. Our fights have changed too. Our insecurities have gone. But we had to work together to come to this stage. There were a lot of ups and downs. There always are. But we are a team and we make it work. So is she the only girl I could ever have a chance with? Is she my soulmate? I don't think so. But she is the one who is with me. We both have to adjust a lot and meet each other in the middle. Should I keep searching for someone who will be perfect for me so I don't have to adjust anything and it will always be happy happy? That's what people usually do waiting for their soulmate.

It does exist, but that doesn’t mean it always works out. Once, long ago, I met her. There was a resonance between us and we both knew it was something different and special. I’m sure a lot of people will be freaked out to know that I was 20 and she was 16, but it’s not like anything happened between us. I was raised to respect women and she was a good Catholic girl.
Then I had to come back to America and she had to stay in Bolivia. On the day I left, we exchanged our one and only kiss.
We wrote for a while, this is before the internet, and talked about me coming back there to marry her. But her mom was afraid I’d take her daughter away and she’d never see her again.
And then there was a devastating tragedy in my life and I sank into a depression.
Both things together and we lost touch for almost 30 years.
A few years back I found her on Facebook and we talked… about how much we were still in love. I’m married and have kids. She’s married and has kids… but neither of us ever forgot the special connection we had. She was bold enough to say that she, at 45, wished she had slept with me and gotten pregnant, because, “Al menos podría haber tenido un bebé con tus ojos.”
Man, my heart broke all over again. We love our respective spouses, but there’s still that question and longing… what might have been?
She’s my soul mate, but I don’t imagine we’ll ever see each other again. -
True love doesn’t exist because people aren’t loyal, people make stupid decisions chasing the wrong people, we’ve become submerged into thinking the amount of likes and money and status defines you. We have this fabricated thought process of what is authentic. As a guy I hope girls read this…I really don’t know what the fuck girls want. Let me repeat that again, I don’t know what the fuck you want. Now before any girl reads that and says “buddy maybe you’re a loser and don’t know how to talk to girls!”.
My rebuttal, is a guy in shape, with Masters degree, good job, his own place a loser? A guy who doesn’t want to deal with girls who simply want to have some dick for a one night stand that I rejected because morally I think that’s wrong. Studies have shown that women and girls are more passive aggressive and indecisive when it comes to knowing what guy to choose. To girls, just because your heart is saying douche bag is the one while rejecting a good dude doesn’t mean you made the right decision. -
Definitely through ups and downs. That’s what has made my relationship strong. Going through thick and thin means a lot to me. Though it’s important to know what your boundaries are because things like physical abuse is NO excuse and nobody should put up with that.
We make it work through excellent communication. That is the golden rule. If something is bothering one of us we talk it out. If something is making us happy we talk about it. If something is making one of us sad we talk it out. We ALWAYS talk about anything. Keeping our communication open to one another builds so much trust in each other.
I’m sincerely convinced good communication is the key to any successful relationship. -
Well if you ask me, then I have a lots pf thing to say,
First, there is nothing like true love, its just mature and immature relationships.
Second, true love is imaginative concept while in real world its how you survive in the world with you as an individual with another individual while sharing ypur emotions, love, care and bodies.
Third, True love is not what is shown in bollywood movies or other, its what you feel for someone who feels and understands that too.
Fourth, its either a relationship or a disaster or unsuccessful experiment, which you will learn in your teen ages and till 24.
And last or
Fifth, you dont understand true love until you understand the person in front of you which ypu learned from last relationship mistakes.
You made a mistake in past with a right person and in present you know what to do if ypu find a person of same qualities you want.
Boom!!!

Not sure, There is no real evidence that this phenomenon is anything more than temporary hormones and capability, that could go on for a while if the circumstances are correct and the compatibility is close enough.
To base a marriage off it however is literally banking your future upon winning the lottery. This isn't a plan, its wishful thinking at best. -
Ups and downs. But much more ups than downs.
Also you will never ever get a partner without any dislikes. No relationship in this world is 100% agreeable. What makes a soulmate is the likes and bonding is so great that you don't even bother about what you dislike about the person... -
Yes I believe it does but appears in many guises.
At times you meet another soul you just bond to, they become part of you and you lose some control as you dive in to unknown waters. - 4.5K opinions shared on Relationships topic.
True love exists if I don’t have to drive far to dip my wick….

True Love can end quickly if I can cut 5 miles of Biden Gas ⛽️ off that trip…
I Love, Love

How do you define "true love?"
If you say an example of "true love" is between a mother and her baby, then I would say that doesn't exist between a man and woman. -
Nope. It doesn't exist. Its more lies perpetuated by the media.
And if you have to make it work its not going to work. That is trying to force the other person to change to your preferences. It'll end and that'll be it. -
I guess! With how fickle modern-day romances are true love today = huge spousal and child support payments tomorrow! I pass!
-
Yes it does but not everyone finds it and not everyone has the mental capacity to be able to kindle the fires and also know how to hold onto it.
-
Honestly while I myself don't have it I know my grandma and grandpa do
And I'm happy for them -
Does true love exist? No. Pretty sure if it did I’d have experienced it by now.

I'd like to think so. I'm still looking for mine. I'm referring to unconditional love here and not transactional love.
-
Not without an ass tonne of work, struggle, pain and effort. It's not just given to you.
-
No, true love is a lie. Love is a lie. Everything only ends in torment and pain.

It does, but too rare mainly in this 21st century. Because people go for material things rather someone's behaviour and connection.
