Can you love too much?

Answer 1

in love there is no too much just too few

Answer 2

The natural man would easily say yes...because he would be looking at 'what he has done' as opposed to 'how' he has loved.

A spritual man would say no - there are too many people in the world who do not know what true love really is - and I don't mean when you just allow someone to abuse you - but loving someone the way you got loved by Jesus. He died because of all the sins of the world and all the diseases and sicknesses. Because I became a part of that - I was loved into a new nature by him and he told me that I must go and show the same love and forgiveness as he showed me. In that regard - there is no such thing as loving too much.

Answer 3

Oh yes! I've done it before. But loving too much is like sitting on a see-saw and grounding it with your weight so that does not move up and down.
Not only that, but it can become an obsession toward becoming disinterested in every thing else. Loving too much, and I presume you mean romantically? Well loving too much will stifle the life out of your relationship because you will frighten your lover, make unequal the relationship, become a torment to yourself, because it will require far more to maintain the relationship, than just settling for what is due for both you and your lover.
I fell in love once that way, and became another person, other than I was. I was more a guard dog making certain this man was subjected to my obsessional, possessive, highest of maintenance lover of a reasonable man, who did love me, except I wanted more and more. After many arguments between us, meant to expose me to reason about the relation, my lover, then, told me he had to leave me because he felt a prisoner of my "love." And he did! And I was miserable for 3 years, almost as if I was holding vigil to a wake. I try to keep more balance now, as to this issue.
I learned that in loving too excessively required the strangulation of the lover, myself and of course invariably the relationship. I hope never to succumb to such excess ever again.

Answer 4

Yes, someone can have "romance", "sex", or "relationship" addictions which are unhealthy and involve codependency. But this kind of "love" isn't the real love (selfless and tender).

If you believe that someone close to you may be struggling with love addiction, this book can open your eyes and offer methods for broaching and solving the problem. If you believe that you yourself may be battling addiction, When You Love to Much will help you recognize the truth and guide you on the road to real and lasting intimacy.
