I had a couple bf’s I was crazy about. They treated me not so great. But I still kept trying, hoping they would love me. That didn’t happen.

Then I had a husband for 25 years who I thought loved and honored me. But he treated me not so great. I tried to communicate and repair the problems. I couldn’t. I kept threatening to end the relationship. I finally did.

Did I not truly love? If I had loved, would I have kept taking the bad treatment?

I’m not sure I understand romantic love toward a partner.
