How do you know it’s love?
How do you know when you love someone or how do you know when someone loves you? I’d love to hear your thoughts.
I believe that you know you're in love when you think about how anything you do can hurt your partners feelings and try not to do those things, I think you love someone when you consider their emotions before you do something.
@Tionna123 I love your take on this! Thank you for your input to the thread! ☺️ Do you think letting go is a form of love? I.e. In a situation where one thinks a break-up would make their partner happier in the long run?
yes you have to love your partner enough to be willing to do what’s best for them even if it hurts right now
@ImALittleStuckInPast23 Personally, I think no one has the right to decide about the happiness of his or her partner. It's always a tricky decision, easy to be made by wrong reasoning or bad influences. As the proverb says: ***'s floor is paved with people's good intentions.
@Tionna123
I don't agree with u cause I do these things to all people
@ImALittleStuckInPast23
Very interesting!
@alsea Snooping on my profile? 👀🙏🏻 ahahah thank you for the chat yesterday - loved having you there 🥰🙏🏻💕
@ImALittleStuckInPast23
Hahaha don't worry! I am subscribed to the relationship stress forum and saw you, and even if I cannot answer your question, I had to interact with you!! I might be about to break up with my bf, I don't know if it will happen. I hope we get to chat again soon, it might be interesting! Don't want to trauma dump or trigger tho 😬😬
@alsea Honestly it is a tough question. Love is different for all. What you want out of love is different for everyone but I think coming to terms with that is the first step to building a good relationship too. Thank you for interacting!! :) Nice to have you here!! And there’s no worries on the dumping - I welcome your struggles. Just hearing that someone has it tough sometimes makes us feel less alone with all of our struggles too. I know you said in the group chat about your bf.. I can honestly relate - few months before me and my ex broke up I sought out therapy because I was so afraid I am toxic and was ruining our relationship.. it’s scary.. there are things I regret doing and saying so I am hoping I can heal and become better so I have a healthier relationship in the future <3 I just keep telling myself that if he had been the one I wouldn’t have felt so alone and in constant fear of him hurting me.. so <3 there is always someone for us, but at the same time there is always something we can improve or work on <3

I think you know when you love somebody or that somebody loves you is when you or they start doing the small things. The small things that nobody would know off the bat and are things that you have to understand and talk about with your partner. Things like memorizing their favorite drink order or how they like to keep their things arranged.
For me, if you have seen the All American series, the way Spencer treats Olivia is an example for me.
1. He always want to be better for her
2. Emotionally intelligent
3. Vulnerable
When their message or call makes you smile, not on the beginning of the relationship but also after the years. You put down your ego and your self pride to make your partner happy. When you are having any problem you may always run to them . Sense of safety and security is the love.
@ImALittleStuckInPast23Knowing when you love someone, or when someone loves you, often comes down to deep emotional connections and mutual care. When you love someone, it’s not just about how they make you feel in the moment, but how you feel about their well-being overall. You genuinely care about their happiness and future, sometimes even above your own. You start to think about them as part of your future and actively support their goals and dreams. Love also makes you feel comfortable being vulnerable and open, allowing you to share your true self—your fears, your dreams, your flaws—without fear of rejection. It means you want to be there through both the good times and the bad, offering support when they’re struggling and celebrating their successes. When you love someone, you’re also willing to compromise and grow together, accepting that no relationship is perfect but choosing to work through challenges with them. You might even find that your own growth is intertwined with theirs, and you’re not just focused on what you can get from the relationship but what you can give as well.
