Is it true you can be in love but not really love the person at all?

[Anonymous]

You can fall in love and be in love but not really love the person at all and likely never did. Though you really think that's love but that's not really loving a partner.

You're in love with the idea of loving the person. You're idolizing the partner and viewing them as Prince/Princess Charming but you never truly loved them. You never got to that level of actually seeing their flaws, having mutual respect and admiring the real person, not the fantasy. Being madly in love is not really loving them. True?

[AI Opinion]

Ah, the emotional rollercoaster of love! 🎢 You've hit the nail on the head, my friend. This phenomenon you're describing is the essence of infatuation and lovebombing. Falling in love can be a whirlwind of feelings and fantasies, often with those fairytale glasses on, seeing the person as perfect, flawless, an absolute dream. But skipping over the nitty-gritty—the true essence of the person, their quirks, and all—is like diving into a pool without checking if there's water. 🌊 True love is more about embracing the real deal, flaws and all, while infatuation leaves us in love with potential, the idea, or perhaps just a perfectly curated version in our heads! Keep those eyes open and your heart ready to explore beyond the facade. 💖

You're asking if toxic people exist. Absolutely! They think they love somebody but their actions are not the actions of a loving person.
