I don't think true love can be shut on or off, but other
people seem to do it all the time. Look at how lots of
people fall madly in love all the time, and a couple years
later they are hating them.

they normally get back together, or that 'hate' is false, or
they feel so strongly because they genuinelly do love that
person.

i think there is no way you can turn true love on/off.

I think a lot of people think they're in love when
they're actually still in the throes of infatuation or lust.
When that wears off they realise they're nothing there.
Like the people who get together and have a great time
during the 'honeymoon phase' of the relationship. Then, when
that calms down, they realise there's really not much
holding them together, even though they've been telling
everyone they're in love.
They say that when you're in love, you know. I'm not so sure
that applies to everyone.
As for the people who are love but then switch to
hating someone when communication and the relationship
breaks down, very often that degree of hate comes out of
their emotional involvement. If you've invested a lot of
yourself with someone, then your resentment of them when you
fall out is going to be so much stronger than it would be if
you broke up with someone you never really cared much
about.
When you share part of yourself with someone, it really
hurts to have that thrown back in your face.
You can't switch love on or off, but it can turn sour when
things don't work out.

whoa pessimism at its upmost best. but... i grant it all the

love is subjective and very tenative at that. dont fuck
around with it. EVER. or ever again. my promise to the human
race.

What is love? A deeper form of Friendship & trust. Yeah,
with a heaping helping of hormones thrown in

I'm not being pessimistic at all. But I believe all of what
I said is true. If you give so much of yourself to someone
and it doesn't work out, then of course you hate them. But
it doesn't mean you turned the love tap off and the hate tap
on. One is born out of the other - the intensity of emotion
comes from the same place.

As for me, I've been in love for about four years now. I'm
really happy, but it's a totally different thing to that
initial rush you get when you're first with someone and you
don't know them too well. And I think that buzz is what a
lot of people confuse with love.

I know that if things went wrong in my relationship I
couldn't just decide "oh well, I'll stop loving her." It
would really hurt me I think, and I would probably direct
that at her. But only because I love her.

With my ex-girlfriend it was a different story. We'd been
together a while, and things weren't going great - we were
living in different places, hanging out with totally
different kinds of people. When it ended I thought I'd be
distraught because I figured we'd been together so long I
must have been in love with her. But I wasn't any more. It
had dried up a while back, it's just that neither of us
noticed cos we were too busy with our seperate lives and
trying to see each other at the weekends. Pretty soon I
realised it was all for the best, and I got over it really
quickly. So did she.

Short and sweet, and (most importantly) right. Well done
Anus.

my new realities are based on cynicism. at the same time i'm
sure we all can look back ...

but as orpheus did, it stings u. and that which was is gone
and never will be, so what's the point?

sometimes if you love someone but you'rre in a position
wherre you can't be with them, orr they don't want to be
with you, you find a way to trrick yourrself into thinking
you don't love them, often turrning it on it's head totally
and finding ways to hate them, to make it easierr on
yourrself... and forr a while you believe it, but all it
takes is one worrd and you'd go rrunning.
