I can’t speak for @Bennettrose bit for me I mean that I am at a point in my life when love has very little to do with anything.

i just feel like i'm at an age that i'm a little too old to think about it or

I just feel that as a middle aged woman who never really had it in my life.but once when i was younger. It didnt last and was rather devastating when it ended.

Now im too old( my opinion) to search or hope for it again. I now focus on the other things in my life.

Ah, I see what you guys mean. Do you reckon that there is too much emphasis / hype / social conditioning about love, since "younger people" in general seek it quite eagerly?

No I don’t think so. I mean love is an amazing thing, but it’s also something that doesn’t stay consistent to maintain it you have to work at it sometimes. But even with work sometimes you realise that it just isn’t the same anymore, people change, circumstances change, your needs change. Bit saying all that we all still want it.

But, but… I love you :p:p
 
I always thought love was a figment of The brain until I had a child and then I knew what True love Wass I would die for my child and the thought of him getting hurt makes my heart flutter
 
So many times when I consider what love is I think of the things it's not. But when I think of my kids, I know what love is without question. Love is accepting someone for who they are even if it's not what you want or what is best for them. Love is hearing someone say things that are hurtful, but knowing them well enough to know they're hurting and don't mean it. Love is being a safe place for someone to be messy, emotional, silly, and whatever else they want to be without judgment. Love is setting healthy boundaries, talking about things even if it's uncomfortable, and forgiving them when they don't deserve it. Love is giving big hugs and saying I love you. Love doesn't go away, it resides in a special place in your heart that is reserved for that person. I learned the last few years that you can still live someone after divorce. It's just a different kind of love and it has a place there too.
 
Its easier for me to think of it this way...
Love doesn't insult you or call you names, it doesn't place blame on you to cover it's fear. Love isn't violent or abusive. It's not manipulative and it doesn't force you to give up your family or friends. Love doesn't leave you and it doesn't make you fear it. Love doesn't make you feel guilty or shame you for your actions. Love isn't paranoid and it doesn't make you question your value or your sanity. Love doesn't make you become someone else or someone you're not proud of.
