What do you consider true love? How long do you think is the appropriate time to really love someone? Is there anything more powerful that could defeat true love? Or is true love stronger than anything that threatens it (e.g: another lover, friends, parents, etc)? |

If we are talking about romantic love then no I don't believe in it. If true love were real then nothing would be able to break you apart. Finances, distance, grief and atrophy wouldn't matter. However we all know these things often play a major part in why couples split up. The closest real concept to true love is the type of relationship where you are actually just very good friends. I consider anything more than that to be short term. It just doesn't last. All that hugging and kissing and saying I love you I mean. That's not a grown up relationship in my opinion and if you don't become friends then it's doomed to fail. |

To that end, your question is answered best thusly: It exists if you believe it does. I happen to. But true love may not be your first, or your seventh, or your twentieth. |

I don't think you truly love someone if there's even a slight chance someone else could take your fancy. To me it's being utterly satisfied with your partner, you don't need to idolize them and think they're the best thing in existence you just need to comfortably live with them like that's just your life. Two jigsaw pieces that fit together and are happy like that. Being desperate to get or give attention to/from your partner isn't true love as far as I'm concerned. The only thing that can really threaten it I'd say is loss, like if you had a child together and it died. Such a thing can easily break a person forever and a lover can just be a reminder of the worst thing that ever happened in your life. |

No, I don't believe in "true love," which to me is the equivalent of soulmates. I believe in love, of course, but love alone doesn't keep a relationship together forever, and most relationships don't last forever. You will fall out of love with your partner. That is a fact. Couples that stay together for years and years know this, accept it, and continue to work on their relationship even when they don't feel like they love their partner. I'm sorry, but that's just life. There isn't one specific person out there made for you. Most people go through several loves, and none of them are "true love"--it's just a matter of where you're at in your life and the decisions you make. People think they find "true love" when they're ready to settle down, but really that's just them finally being mature enough for a committed, long-term relationship. My parents have been together for 23 years and still love each other, but I'm willing to guarantee that they've had major ups and downs. |

I believe in love. I think 'true love' is reserved for fantasies and kids. Some people might say that a relationship staying strong after bumps in the road is 'true love', to me it's just a love that two people have worked hard to keep. People don't seem to like the idea of 'work' and 'love' being in the same sentence because it loses it's romanticism, but love is hard work. There's no way around that. There are so many external factors that can influence your relationship (circumstances, distance, grief, family, friends, strangers, kids), not to mention that people change so much as they grow older that two people could fall in love and then become completely different people 5/10/15 years later. Love is hard work, but that doesn't make it any less 'true'. 'True love' also assumes that there is one person and one person only for each person in the world (at least that's the impression the phrase gives me) and that's not something I believe. Sure, the idea that out of billions of people there's only one person meant for you is a romantic one, but to me that's both not true and also a depressing notion. I'd rather live in a world where there are thousands of opportunities for a happy relationship and not just one. |

I'm inclined to believe it exists, but people flicker in and out of it throughout their relationship blahblahblah sternberg's triangular theory of love. I also don't believe in soul mates. I think you guys are just assuming that the concept of true love implies all that sappy stuff, but they don't have to be the same thing. If a couple is happy for a time and all that s*** but a decade later their relationship falls apart, it doesn't necessarily mean neither were experiencing true love. It could just mean that they experienced true love but only for a short duration. Edited by Buuberries, May 4 2016, 09:41 AM.

I believe in hard work and commitment. If someone has been together for a long time it's not true love, it's dedication to eachother and hard work. It's still love. |

true love doesnt exists. It is that simple, or it is exists in the disney universes. Btw I believe that the real life is harsh and have s***tons of problems and thus an idea like this just cant exists. Thats what I think |

What is true love? Hmm, that's a tough one to define. I think you can love someone with your entire being. Desire to be with them nearly every second of every day. Care for them and be there no matter how sick they get. Love them and encourage them through all their struggles. Be honest with them. Stuff like that. Uhh, an entire lifetime? Honest answer there. Ehh... That one's tricky. You can love someone even if they're a negative influence on you overall... Like not having a job, for example. That's no good... And I think issues like that are the downfall of true love, but like I said... Sort of a grey area for me. If not having a job is a no-no for you, why are you dating them in the first place? |

I think true love is something dreamed up by Naive people, love, like in the fairy tales doesn't exist  I consider true love the ability to look past someone's flaws, accept them for who they are, show that you are loyal to them even when it's hard, show a genuine interest in them, be there for them and forgive them when they make mistakes. True love also needs both people to be realistic in their expectations. Too many times (well not that many, but you get the point ) I have dated people, especially online, who expect way too much out of you, and then the relationships fizzles out because of it  I think there is no set time limit to love someone, you can ''love'' someone almost immediately if you click with them, but there is certainly a time limit before you tell someone I love them I would say, if I met someone and said I love you within 5 minutes then, yeah...  Plenty of things can ''defeat'' love. Distance can become such a burden, especially if there was plans to meet the person sooner but they had to be stopped. Finance doesn't hugely come into it, but if you can't live together because you can't afford it , that can suck. Parent's have very little impact on relationships unless the person cares what their parents think that much or if they are strict religious parents. Friends can mess up relationships big times, because they fancy one of the people, they are jealous and can end up spreading rumours etc

I think it exists. There are people who have definitely felt it... true love doesn't mean that there aren't ups and downs. It means getting through problems and getting stronger together. That's what my idea of true love is. A flame that can falter but gets rekindled every time. It's just not easy to find. |

1. In my opinion, there is no such thing as 'true' love unless you compare love to lust relationship where one is love and the other is lust. 2. Don't know, i've only been in lov twice in my short 21 year old life... the first time took me around 6 months and the second time almost a year 11 months. 3. At the moment, i can't think of the exact word to use to describe it, but when you just go through the motion of daily life. Also where you don't pay attention to the needs of the person wants and you think that relationship is always going to be there no matter what do you or say. This is one of the reasons why i don't believe in unconditionally love between a woman and man or woman and woman or man and man = couple. You have to love and respect the person. And the times you fail, you have to be willing to acknowledge the wrong (getting drunk and behaving badly or flirting with the opposite sex, you become violent when you drink or say hurtful things) and better yourself. I think the secret to a happy long marriage is you fall back in love again and again over time. Human beings are forgetful. Edited by Zoom, May 6 2016, 12:27 PM.
