napy666 Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 Who here is with or was with their "one true love"? How do you know if it really was a one true love? Even if they left you or perhaps they are still with you or even maybe your relationship was one of those on/off types. How do you know who was your one true love? Part of me keeps thinking about my ex of 2 years ago who was 3 years and engaged to me, I think he was my 1 true love because I do still think of him rarely sometimes and keep thinking in the back of my head that he will come back to me, but then part of me does not ever want him back. Plus he's moved on and found someone new. So thoughts?
Philosoraptor Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 Love is something that changes through the time you're with that person. Mutual true love is the willingness to continue to let love grow and change as you go through life together. Seems like you've found yourself a case of nostalgia.
Criticality Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 Either nostalgia or you've seen too many movies. He idea of romantic love didn't really take off until the 19th century, and the Hollywood version of the "One True Love" has ruined more than its fair share of good marriages over the years. The best cure is usually to find a new boy/girlfriend...
ConstantVoyager Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 There are probably literally thousands of people in the world with whom you could have a wonderful loving passionate relationship. Focusing on the one you already had a relationship with that ended badly is just torturing yourself. There is no "one" true love.
Emilia Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 Either nostalgia or you've seen too many movies. He idea of romantic love didn't really take off until the 19th century, That's because women were treated as commodity until then and got married off to partners for financial reasons, not because love didn't exist. and the Hollywood version of the "One True Love" has ruined more than its fair share of good marriages over the years. The best cure is usually to find a new boy/girlfriend... I don't think so at all, unnecessarily cynical/bitter. Some people find love easily, others don't. There isn't one universal answer. 1
