What does it really feel like to be truly loved by someone?

[Anonymous]

I feel like I never truly been loved, and when I see married couples where men earn money, take care of her women and kids, I wonder how it’s possible someone love you that much? I mean, guys get tired even taking care of you, fastly loose interest, and I don't know how it’s possible for others.

In all honesty, I think we all have our own versions of what it means to be truly loved. Sure there can be generalizations, like consistency, effort, trust, support, we can all agree these things are important. But only you know what you need to be truly loved. Like what does it mean for you?

I think @queenofcardio said it in a way I most agree with , in that it feels like ‘home’


I would add it’s also like feeling chosen , seen , accepted , supported , respected & cared for.


Love can’t be fireworks all the time , it’s steadier and quieter.


Not everyone has the same understanding of what love is and that’s fair because they likely have different expectations or perceptions ,
skewed or otherwise.

As a romance writer, I can tell you that as many people have ever lived on Earth, so many versions of "what it means to be truly loved" there are ;-) Now, if you ask, "What is your recipe for true love?" that's a whole other story. It always matters, "Are you asking the right question?" Godspeed!

It feels like euphoria for a while but later on like self deception, because love isn't constant and sometimes people who love you stop to love you, then start to love you again. It's tiresome and nothing you could build a long term strategy on.

My aim on GAG is to decode love, attraction, and all the messy human stuff in between for you, cutie 😏

Being truly loved feels like emotional safety. No lovebombing, no ghosting, no constant anxiety. They show up. They stay consistent. They don’t get “tired” of you, they adjust, communicate, and keep choosing you.

Real love isn’t shiny romance only, it’s boring loyalty plus effort. You’re not “too much”; they were too little.

It means you feel safe and secure in the relationship, like there's no chance of them leaving you. This doesn't mean that you get a free pass to be lazy and put zero effort into the relationship, but it means that you can be yourself with zero restraint and know that they will love you.

It means feeling listened to and understood. It means your partner has the utmost faith in your character.

It means they make you feel loved physically and emotionally in every way, never weaponizing physical intimacy.

It means you can't imagine living without them and would happily die for them and to make them happy, because their happiness comes above your own.

That's my take on what love truly is.

[lightbulb27]

I'd suggest seeking and finding Christ to feel truly loved. See what one person gave, that others would life. Make that foundation.

What another person offers in commitment to love you is cherry on the cake. I see majoriy of relationships around me be loving and supportive, in both directions. Noone is perfect and we're all fallable.

I think there are areas and environments where you won't see that and it's hard to imagine. It's sad to see children injured by selfish parents, but hopefully they can draw inspiration from others. I've seen that happen more than once and the children go on to form good relationships.

Being truly loved by someone, without focusing on intimacy or physical closeness, feels more like emotional safety and steady presence than anything dramatic. Many people rush into physical things from the very beginning, which may not be right.

When someone truly loves you, your happiness matters more than theirs. They will make you feel beautiful, no matter how unattractive you are. They will make sacrifices for you. They will be consistent with their actions / love. Never get tired of you. Seeing you happy and safe is their life goal. If it is anything else other than this, it's not love. Love is when the other person matters more than yourself.

To love someone or be loved. The minor things that you will break up other boyfriends or girlfriends for you will tolerste..
The sex is goid but not as important to you as just seeing her face. Hearing her voice. Smelling her body oada. Or deorderant

[queenofcardio]

It feels like being at home with someone. You feel emotionally safe and understood by your partner.

[Anonymous]

I think it's the feeling of being wanted and support at the same time.
A helping hand when possible and love when needed.
Being good to and helping eachother in good and bad times.
And whole lot of fun, sex and other stuff.

I don't know never been in a relationship.

[Nikki1989]

Amazing. True love does and can happen, folks.

[katiesmuff]

I don't think there is any feeling better than truly being loved!

[TonyMetal___86]

Not all guys are the same, the question is: if a man provides all these to his wife and stays 100% loyal to her and loves only her forever, would she dump him and never look back? 🤔

[Anonymous]

Few women today know how to identify a good man or know how to inspire loyalty let alone give it. A good man has little problem honoring the woman he loves every day. Unfortunately few women are worthy of that anymore.

[Anonymous]

Can't say I've felt someone else has loved me. I certainly want that and to start a family with them.

[exitseven]

You feel secure in the relationship with no doubts or jealousy

[Iron_Man]

That comes along once in a lifetime enjoy it while you can because it’s very rare if you ever get it, you’re lucky

[Anonymous]

I’m lucky enough to have found it (at least I think I have), but it’s more common when you’re older. Though even they can cheat.

[Anonymous]

i dont understand that either but i dont say it out loud. i would most certainly get bored with a person even i liked a lot

[Anonymous]

There is someone i truly deeply love with all my heart and soul her name is a Danielle she's a goddess a boss queen goddess

[harrrykane]

I’m sorry that I have never truly been loved before. I hope I can experience that feeling one day.

[beenherebefore]

It feels safe.

[OneViewpoint]

I'll let you know if I ever experience it.

[HusamRocks]

Feels an opportunity to control them 🤷‍♂️

[Ariesman81Nshiiit]

It's fucking scary

[Wodens_Apprentice]

It feels like not wanting to die.

[jahaims]
