When you enter into love, you are allowing yourself to become vulnerable, without which you would not be able to love yourself and feel love in exchange. You bare all, body mind and soul. It takes a real conscious choice and risk to be able to get close to another human being. You have to let down your guard if you want to let the other person in. So when you enter into this kind of personal vulnerability, there is the risk of being hurt because humans are imperfect and make mistakes. But it's all part of the growth process in another facet of our lives where pain becomes the stimulus for growth. (no pain no gain kind of thing)

I dunnano.
I'm desperatly in love with my on again off again Bf.
I'm expecting our first (my second) come November.
Right now were together but I'm not so sure that's what's best.
You'ld think as long as we both love on another (and we do, I've no doubt) that that'd just about end any grievance we might have, but it doesn't.
We do a lot that normal people in a commited relationship wouldn't do to one another if they truly did love each other.
But that doesn't change our feelings for each other.
I think our biggest problem is our unbringings. We are very very different from one another, and a lot of things that seem obvious to one makes completely no sense to the other.
We are in love, and we break each other's hearts almost on a weekly basis.

Is it? How would one know what it is like to suffer the pain of lost or dysfunctional "love" if they had never had love in the first place? Never having it is absence of love, but if you've never known the experience of being in love and then losing it or breaking up, you simply can't compare the two experiences.

For one reason, it necessarily leads to pain. Ernest Hemmingway noted, "When two people love each other, there can be no happy ending."
Then, you must also consider that love involves significantly more than romantic love. Please take a minute to reflect on the pain that many of our soldiers fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan are enduring as a result of feelings for those they cannot hold...their children, their parents or their partners thousands of miles away.
Indeed, love hurts...eventually. It cannot be avoided.

With love, comes sacrifice. Sometimes the cost of being in love is quite high, and that's what hurts. Also, when you have children and those children go through pain and you can't help them - that's hurts as well.

No it's the fact that when we love we are setting ourselves up for being hurt. To love is to allow someone into our world and into our inner self, and in some cases it hurts when things happen to damage our trust and our love for others.

Love is a good natural feeling, even dogs feel love. Love should never hurt. Yes loneliness and no love is very painful worse than death I think. theres a song called 'Love hurts'
isn't there?

Loving without being loved in returned hurts as well.

That's true!! But, I guess love hurts when you love and the love isn't being returned. And it really does hurt...you start to feel sick and your heart actually aches.

Loving without being loved in return hurts as does being betrayed by the one we love.
