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.

I see love as a feeling of attachment to someone and as a feeling of care for someone. For example, I feel attached to my mother and I care for her, so that's love in my mind and I don't see my decision to distance myself from her as a lack of love.
