Boundary Problem Posted December 4, 2009 Posted December 4, 2009 Does the very nature of love suffocate the recipient? ie too much of a good thing?
Pizzaman81 Posted December 4, 2009 Posted December 4, 2009 Does the very nature of love suffocate the recipient? ie too much of a good thing? I am trying to understand your question. Are you saying what love is, is too much for a person to handle? It definitely add pressure, but if you are in a relationship you two should suffocate.. i mean love each other equally.

It definitely add pressure, but if you are in a relationship you two should suffocate.. i mean love each other equally. What I mean - is the very nature of love unstable. Is it always out of balance, so one person or the other feels suffocated.
ComeUndone Posted December 4, 2009 Posted December 4, 2009 No, I don't think either should feel suffocated. I suppose it's normal if there are times when two people have recently spent a LOT of time together where they may be craving some time apart, but I wouldn't classify that as suffocation.
SoulSearch_CO Posted December 4, 2009 Posted December 4, 2009 Is it always out of balance, so one person or the other feels suffocated. That's never been my experience. Do you always feel suffocated by love, or do you feel you are suffocating your SO with love? Because I've never felt either.

Ms. Joolie Posted December 4, 2009 Posted December 4, 2009 Is it always out of balance, so one person or the other feels suffocated. Okay, here's what I think..... The result of person A loving person B too much should not be suffocation. Love is not suffocating. So in that scenario of suffocation, either person A is mistaking what they are doing for love or person B is truly feeling suffocated by love. If person A truly just loves person B (not to the point of suffocation), it is the fault of person B for perceiving love as suffocating.
New_Life08 Posted December 4, 2009 Posted December 4, 2009 It only suffocates you when: 1. The person you are with becomes increasingly clingy without reason. 2. When you want to be in a loving relationship without sacrificing your single life. 3. Or simply do not love the person.

When you want to be in a loving relationship without sacrificing your single life. 3. Or simply do not love the person. 1 - is an imbalance/miscomunication or somthing 2 & 3 mean the recipient doesn't love back, so yes then it would be suffocating.
someotherguy Posted December 4, 2009 Posted December 4, 2009 I think love is complicated, and a question like this one is particularly difficult to answer. Love can be a feeling, it can be an action, it can be a viewpoint, it can be something you share with another person, etc. When you ask whether it can be suffocating, the answer is obviously yes. However, I think that is only when you're talking about two scenarios: 1. When one person loves another, and it is not reciprocated. 2. When two people love each other, but they are in different phases of being, whether they perceive the nature of the relationship differently, or they are on a different page (so to speak), or perhaps they are just mis-communicating for some reason. If two people in a relationship truly love each other, and are deeply compatible, there will be no suffocation, for they will be operating on the same frequency, they will be on the same page, they will be going at the same speed in the same direction.
Ms. Joolie Posted December 4, 2009 Posted December 4, 2009 When you ask whether it can be suffocating, the answer is obviously yes. Disagree. Love itself cannot be suffocating. It's like money. Money itself cannot be suffocating. It's how it is used or received.
