Does true love ever really die? Why or why not?

Answer 1

Love and desire are often confused. Love is forever, desire is subject to wane, even totally fade away. If you believe, you no longer love another; you never loved that person. Rather, the desire you had for him or her, evaporated.

Answer 2

Yes, it can and sometimes does. It can be the truest love for years and years, and then the elements change, and the love changes. You can share another love, although your approach to the love you share changes.
Sometimes it can die when a person tries (in the way they believe) to improve the lives of those they love, without communicating this. they can get lost in their own ways, and their motivation and connection to those they love, becomes secondary to succeeding at proving their beliefs lead to success. Does this make sense, because it is true, thank you.

Answer 3

I've never met anyone who was permanently heart broken but I've seen a lot of unhappy, maladjusted people and maybe that was why. I didn't want to find out I get bored listening to people carry on about that stuff.
I remember a book pitched on one of the morning TV shows about how to get over heart break quickly. You break an egg into a jar, screw the lid on tight and let it sit in the sun by the window for a few days. Then every time you think about your heart throb, take a whiff. I think that must be effective. Just thinking about how that showed how easily conditioned we are sped my recovery at the time.

Answer 4

NO. IF you ever truly LOVED somebody, you will always love them. Feelings may die, or change, AND, you will make decisions that are best for you, like getting out of the relationship, but you will always love and care about that person or persons. Think about being a parent... you never stop loving your kids.

Answer 5

The only love that never dies is instictive love (like the one toward parents and children). Romantic love is what we feel when we're with somone that makes us feel amazing. Once they stop making us feel wonderful around them and they become a source of hurt, then it fades. If the couple who are in romantic love, continue to make each other fell spacial then that can last forever too, but romatic love has to be fed to last. And both sides have to feed it. Instinctive love (parent/ child) is the only unconditinal love.

Answer 6

A better question would be, "Does true love really exist? If so, what is true love?"

When most people talk about "true love" they are talking about romantic love, which really isn't love in the philosophical sense. Rather, romantic love is usually a sublimation of a person's erotic desires that are channeled into socially acceptable forms of expression. People who buy into this idealized notion of sex and romance often ask themselves if their desires to be with and experience a particular individual constitute "true love."

True love is actually something much more profound than one can experience in the normal course of sex and romance. Sexual desire waxes and wanes, as does the notion of romantic love to which it often gives birth. Such feelings never die completely, and they can often give birth to more tender feelings that can lead to true love.

True love is not a feeling, but a uniquely human capacity to transcend the lonely island of human consciousness. Thus, by its very nature, true love is not limited to one object. Rather, it continuously manifests itself in new individuals through acts of kindness and generosity. In other words, true love never dies.

Answer 7

No! It never dies but you do and can go on and in time it fades and finally in your heart and mind you accept it wasn't meant to be and they just become another person. the 1st year if it was a long relationship is the worst but it does get easier everyday. And the best thing is look at what may be in store for you!!! Maybe greater than what ya had sure was for me!

Answer 8

No, never really. Even though you can move on and be with other people, you never should or could forget someone you loved in the past. My opinion, anyway.

Well I just re-read your question, and I should say I'm not still "in love" with the guy I used to be, but I still care for him and wish him happiness, so perhaps that's not what you meant, and my answer should be "yes".

Answer 9

If you are limiting yourself to love between men and women,
then yes, it dies, is reborn and dies and is reborn...a never
constant phenomenon with ever changing criteria. True
love from the heart never dies as long as it is given un-
conditionally and can manifest itself in the love you may
feel for a parent or sibling, animal or best friend but most
importantly the love you feel for yourself.

Answer 10

AFTER WE ARE DEAD EVERYTHING DIES SO WE CAN START OVER AGAIN. WE ARE REMEMBERED BY THOSE WHO KNEW US WHEN WE WERE ALIVE AND VERY SOON NOONE REMEMBERS. IVE SEEN PEOPLE MARRIED IN WHAT WAS TRUE LOVE THEN AFTER EIGHT CHILDREN THE TRUE LOVE TURNS TO TRUE SOMETHING ELSE !!! AND THE MARRIAGE IS NO MORE. THE WORD LOVE IS USED FOR EVERYTHING, YOU CAN LOVE A SANDWICH, ETC. I DONT THINK LOVE DIES IT JUST ISNT BREATHING FOR A WHILE THEN SEEMS TO REVIVE AND THERE IT IS AGAIN.
