Love: does it suck?

[skittles_of_SDC 0]

Me and a friend are having a discussion on love. She thinks it sucks and said for her nothing good has ever happened because of it. What do you think?
For the record I can't say because I've never been in love... except with myself.

Probably because she "falls in love" with assholes.

Many of us are here because someone in the past were stupid and fell in love.

I'm quite definitily in the "good" cathegory, so I have to say that the statement is wrong.

And I've been in love and gotten disappointed, but it was still a good experience.

Life is full of risks, and getting heartbroken is one of them.

Relax, you can die if you mess up, but it will probably not be by bullet.

Depends...

Always be kinder than you feel.

Depends on the kind of love, and the person you love - romantic love can be absolutely amazing - having a best friend and partner in crime who's always there for you no matter what is the coolest thing ever. Unfortunately such is not the case for most love -- most people want drama in their lives and are don't have really strong values to begin with, so the kind of love I described above doesn't really apply to them, as it involves honesty, self-sacrifice and compromise.

Unbalanced loved sucks and is a waste of time.

Equal mutual love is about as good as it gets.

Love is awesome!

For instance whenever my kids tell me they love me it is totally awesome.

However when you love someone and they do not love you back that sucks.

truer words have never been spoken. I was married for 11 years. there was never a day we spent even a part of together that i didn't tell her i loved her. maybe for the last 5 for sure the last 4 years we were together. see never once told me she loved me. there is no worse pain than loving someone and KNOWING that they don't love you back. and no matter what. you can't make someone love you back. it took a while after the divorce to realize that the only reason she stuck around for the last 4 years ( besides the money i was giving her) was she was convinced I was gonna bounce and she could collect on the 250,000 of accidental death ins he had taken out on me. I didn't realize i was that well insured. but I showed her I didn't die

i have on occasion been accused of pulling low . My response. Naw I wasn't low I'm just such a big guy I look closer than I really am .

if you can go though life only being in love with yourself you will be a happy man.

I'm surprised my exHusband (I can count on one hand the times he told me he loved me over 13 years together...) didn't encourage me wanting to skydive when we were married knowing what he would've collected if we were still married and I went in... He's kicking himself now, I'm sure...

Ah but if she loves herself she will be happy. After all true happiness comes from within.

Love is amazing... though I've only experienced it once! It's the 'when the relationship is over' part that sucks ass... but the actual love never really ends.

I'd say its the opposite. True happiness comes from getting outside yourself, and putting others needs, dreams, and desires before your own. When you love someone like that, and they love you in the same manner, there is no end to joy. Yes, you open yourself up to be destroyed, but that is what allows that relationship to be closer, deeper, and more intimate. Great reward comes from great risk.
