"In love"? Twice...completely, totally, unbelievably. The first just ended of it's own accord...we were done 'saving' each other and realized there wasn't much left. The second ended horribly, and even tho it was a toxic relationship on so many levels, I'll always love him. Maybe more so now, then I did when we were together, because I know now what made it so toxic and I can understand the pain he's always suffered, even as he made me suffer.
I've kind of shut down now....not willing to put myself out there anymore. But I'm glad I had those two even if they aren't a constant like some decades old successful marriages. I'd never trade the moments when it was good....I dread the memories of when it was not.

I have only been in love once and I am still in love with that person. It is not always easy. We have gone through some hard times and are trying to work things out. We are trying to stay connected as we grow and change. I am optimistic that our love is strong enough to make it through this difficult time.

Been absolutely in love four times. Each time had its purpose, but none turned out very well.

I would like to say 3, because I've only been in 3 actual relationships, but in hindsight that would be incorrect.
1 very strong infatuation I mistook for love, though we have remained friends. 1 longazz drawn out addiction that I thought was love, but was toxic and turbulent at best. 1 True love that I caught a glimpse of years before I even started dating, one which never faded, and came to find me years later after all of that ^ drama had ended. So the correct answer would be 1 time. I hope and pray it never ends as its been proven that time and space are unable to diminish what we share between us.

I am in love with T but she doesn't want to do anything except alleviate my mental distress through psychotherapy.
