Answer 2

AMOR VINCIT OMNIA -- love never dies.

I still believe this. Real love never dies, it survives even death. The problem is that love isn't just a noun, it's a verb. Often when we get into relationships, especially long-term ones, we get lazy. We don't make the effort anymore. We take them for granted. We stop "loving" them in the sense that we don't try so hard. We don't treat them like they're precious. Then the relationship becomes weak. Needs aren't being met.

Another problem is that often people don't really know who they are & what they want when they get into relationships then they may change their minds & realize they're not compatible with their partner anymore. Also some people mistake other things for love (lust, infatuation, friendship, sympathy, respect). Some people think they love someone when it's really something else. Many people get married for the wrong reasons.

When you find real love, your soulmate, someone on your wavelength, someone who's right for you in every way, that love never fades away. Even death would not end it.

The sad thing is that even people who love each other can't always live happily ever after for one reason or another.

Love is beautiful & heartbreaking. It certainly isn't perfect, or easy.

I think that if someone just "stops" loving, then maybe they didn't in the first place. They weren't being honest with themselves. They were with the wrong person. The good news is, as hard as this is to discover, once you know it's the wrong person you can move on & find the right one. Better for both partners.

Answer 3

This is the old "I love her, but I'm not IN love with her" debate. When people say they love each other, there are different kinds of love, which unfortunately are not depicted well in the English language. I think the Greeks have 6 different words for love. There are types of love that fade, and others that last.

e.g., romantic love, sexual love, filial love, maternal love, platonic love...

So yes, some types can die. This is especially disheartening if a lover loves you in one way, but you love them back in an entirely different way. You may both tell each other "I love you" and then be devastated to find out you weren't both meaning the same thing.

Answer 4

Read "The Four Loves by C.S. Lewis.
It is not light reading.
I think love can wither but it does not die. I liked the answer suggesting a mark (scar) from a wound.
Love is the most enduring emotion.
Think of how a tiny ember in an abandoned fire pit can spark anew at the slightest breeze to engulf an entire forest in fire.

Answer 5

Oh, that was terminating a contract of Insurance or some mutual benefit scheme, also called as 'love' for an easy reference.... not easy to get an original name for something we try to 'feign' ...
Look at the possibility to be a loving person, un-conditionally,... irrespective of whether there is somebody around or not.... then manifesting it will be situation dependent, but others will not be deciding if we are going to be a loving person or not !

Answer 6

The constituent of human essence 'love' has no means for measurement, i.e. there is no measuring when love was greater than it was nor lesser when it was, only that we know negative from positive, and more negative is not more positive. Apperception or self consciousness knowing self's present loving feeling the loving self as this self is a percept external to itself with the loved other. This loved other is known as it is different in the moment it is, and when it is such that negates loves feeling totally, it is in its first moment fear. The reason or determinant for this fear is the determinant for each subsequent emotion in its moment, its form has a relation to this self newly revealed and its belief is subject to its science, its sentience, its question or lack of question, its basis for certainty, its basis for doubt, its ego, its anti-ego. The balancing of ego against anti-ego is the general form for this self's action and subsequent learning.

So the answer is yes, but not finitely or ultimately yes; only in an undefined moment. There after, who knows.

Answer 7

their love to be true would have to have a want in their love for each other to grow even greater than it is...when two things come together, what they are has changed. all that is is what is to be...when something make a great change it is not to stop at the change but to let that change become all that it can. in changing you are creating something, and that creation is alive, and to live is to grow... being idle is to die. we must stay creative. that is the message of the rose. i brring the rose home to my beloved, to surprise her and to create a reaction to that surprise. that reaction normally would be some kind of surprise by her. if i tell her that i am coming home with a rose for her, it is as nothing, and nothing being nothing, might as well be dead, as in the love dieing because there was no more surprise...he is all that he is and will never be anything more. we must stay creative and forever changing, forever learning, forever becoming more than we where. this is what life is, to become more. if there is nothing more that you can become then you are dule, or as some say dead, not decomposed, but dead to life, for anything that lives grows.......if our loves stop growing then it dies

Answer 8

I don't believe it can die, but it can shift into a lesser kind of love. I still love my ex because he helped create my daughter. I dont' like what he did to me or her, but in my heart there is always a place in there I love him. It's just not even close to the intensity it was when we were together. I hope this makes sense.

Answer 9

Heres yer answer, no. It doesn't die, but it can turn from love into something else, hate, apathy, or disregard. Most people feel sorry for someone and thinks its love, etc. Gotta konw its actually truly love first :)

Answer 10

Are you asking about the desire to possess and or be with the object of your love(desire)? If this is the case it will just fade, losing its intensity but its always there like a mark of the healed wound. It is always a memory of the past.

Answer 11

Sinner and Saint is totally right. I'd just add that LOVE as the most pure and ultimate energy of the Universe (both visible and invisible)... some may call it God... is eternal. So, it can't die.
