Do we feel 'real' love or do we have a messed up version of it? How are we able to love when we are prone to splitting?

Are we capable of love or something else we mistaken as love?

Love is love. Try not to worry about it. You can love as well as anyone else. The psyche is more than just the brain. We love from the soul.

We're all capable of love but not everyone's understanding of it is the same - i agree with the above poster in that it can't be over-thought, it's just something that 'is.' A lot of things can cloud the judgement of love in the same way that love itself can cloud judgement - but most feel it to be an essential part of life in all it's forms.
Thanks for this!

I believe we are capable of real love as an over riding factor above all the turmoil in a close relationship. I love more things about my husband and kids above anything else.

That doesn't mean that we don't argue or that I necessarily agree with everything that they do.

It just means that I love them no matter what.
Thanks for this!

Yes, we are capable of real love. I know I try to over think things, but I also know that I love my husband and son.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
