Just look at how karma works from Britney Spears .. she sings that song .. and finds the true meaning of a toxic relationship w/ Federline and I bet she felt it was love

Sure you can, just make sure the person/people you are with understand that you do not love them, otherwise you may break someone's heart.\nI've had some very wonderful and fulfilling relationships that did not involve love.

This is a classic abusive relationship.  You have got to get away from this person before things get worse.  I know you love her, but you cannot allow someone to treat you that way.  Look at it this way, if the situation was reversed, and you treated her that way, would you expect her to stay with you?

Love doesn't have a switch, although it would be great if it did. We were born with the ability to love and boy do we ever.\nLife is just one longggggg lesson and for everything a purpose.\nWhen we love someone, we give of ourselves freely, leaving ourselves open to joy, passion, fear and even heartache.\nWhoever said love makes us stronger is probably right.\nIf having your heart broken didn't hurt, then you would probably never even be able to feel love.\nI would rather have my heart broken then to never have a chance at love.\nTime is your only friend when it comes to heartache, and as far as wanting them back, well, I'd have to say, ask yourself why they broke your heart in the first place and is it worth it to put yourself in that position again?\nGood luck to you!!!

Love is different to EVERYONE.  So it's kind of a hard one, but I've always gone with this one \nLove is giving someone the power to destroy you completely, but trusting them not to.  Good luck

Letting someone you love go, is crap! Believe me, I let my first love get away from me, and I regret it everyday of my life. If you love someone, do everything you can to keep them! Don't EVER let them go, and make sure they know that you love them so much you'll do whatever you have to, to keep them. Let them know how much they mean to you.When you lose someone you love, you lose a piece of yourself.........and It is hard to impossible to get it back. That, I believe, is why we get so angry, frustrated, and bitter. That's why we hurt from, for a long time to forever, we're never able to become complete again. If that person is not worth you fighting as hard as you can to keep them, you didn't love them all that much to begin with.

realize that just because you love someone does not mean they will love you in return--harsh reality

I have been in an abusive ( all 3, primarily emotional and verbal) relationship for almost 13 years now, married for 8. I think what initially keeps you in an abusive relationship is that although you know that something doesn't feel quite right, you don't really look at it as abuse. Then when you know what it is, you are in denial and you make excuses for the person because you love them. You then think that your love can change them or that if you change that they will change. Sometimes you stay because you're scared to do everything on your own or because you have children. You want everyone to think that you have the perfect family and life. You then realize that the problem is within that person and there's not anything that you can do to change them. That's where I am now and I am currently being proactive with my exit plan. I hope this helps. lots of love, V.

You MUST figure out why your REALLY angry and fix it. You probably have a pattern of doing this in relationships. I know I did. Something underneath has truly hurt your feelings. You must Learn to be 100% honest. You have to tell him when you are mad and work it out on an adult level.  I was able to pinpoint mine to abandonment issues. I was cold towards people. I pushed them away. You have to realize that one day he will be fed up with your crying wolf and let you leave. Love is such a great thing. Appreciate what the two of you have.

i was still in love with my ex when i left him, it was the hardest thing Ive ever had to do, but he put me through hell and back , so i wasn't going to live like that. I figured i loved myself more than him. When i started to think I would take him back I would remember the hell he put me through and that kept my head clear, follow you head in this case , not your heart

Love is given unconditionally. You cannot demand it from anyone :| I am sorry to hear about your condition. I went through the same situation once but later on, I came to understand that the guy was cheating on me! So, my dear...the one who would really love you would never leave you, never make you cry, and never ever break your heart. Just be patient and wait for the one you really deserve. Love is patient and it is kind. It should bring you happiness, not depression. I am sure that if you let go this guy, you will definitely find the one you deserve. Good luck and take care of yourself.

Yes, but love is so much more than just the absence of abuse, it is a wonderful euphoric feeling, a warm good feeling that you feel deep inside of you.  A trusting feeling, when you know you can trust yourself with a person mind, body and soul.  \n\nIf you are being hurt in any way by someone, they do not love you. They may really sound sincere when they apologize, but they will only continue the pattern of hurting you each time you forgive them, and allow them to have another chance. The attacks may increase in violence, and duration without any warning. If someone is hurting you or if they are even verbally abusive to you, it's best to get out of that as soon as you can!\n\nReally there is never a good reason to allow someone to abuse you!  Good luck!  Love should never have to hurt.

In this world we can make so many things happen, but one of them we don't have control over is love. We can't make someone want or love us. Usually if we try we make them go farther away then they were. My suggestion to you would be cool toward this person because most times we want what we can't have.........

I was in a very abusive relationship and then jumped into another one (verbal only).  To break the cycle I turned to group therapy and individual counseling.  You don't need an abusive partner, respect yourself enough to realize that anyone who treats you like this doesn't love you.  \n\nGet as far away from this situation as possible.  It's not unusual to still love them, but remember, it's an unhealthy love and therapy can help you learn that.  It's weird but you need to retrain yourself in how to find someone who is healthy.  It probably stems from something in your childhood, and you need to work thru that.  Good Luck!

I've never stopped loving anyone I've been in love with.\n\nThat said, some relationships just are not healthy. I just left one 10 months ago, even though I was in love with them and they were in love with me.\n\nIt has been extremely hard dealing with. I still have to be around them at the dojo, which makes it much worse.\n\nTime does make things better. I can now talk pleasantly with one of them. The other may too, someday.\n\nIt still hurts, but not as much as it did. I still would like to go back to them, but the reasons I left haven't changed.\n\nSo I just deal with it, day by day.
