But it isn't necessarily the type of love you imagine, meaning romantic love

It could be platonic love but true love or sexual and romantic and true love

How do you know you met ”the one” ?

i dont think it comes down to settling. and i also dont think it comes down to just compatibility either. i think it comes from a persons want that turns into that persons need to have and give themselves to that other chosen person.

Well, there isn't any just "one" for you. "The One" is more like this big blurry painting that you get to make yourself and then tear it down and mess it up when it doesn't work and before you know it, you're working on it again.

Relationships can be developed, true love is a product, and a bond formed out of hard work and patience is always ten times stronger and deeper than any other.

I was going to write this big long thing but then my stupid 12th house Mercury is getting all confused with itself. So I'll spare you the trouble. Hahaha

I do agree with SE though.

So...is that even a good thing? Two people feeling mutually co-dependent? Maybe my Sag Venus is finding its authentic voice after all these years...

i dont think is a good thing, two people must first feel complete to offer love to each other...if not, they will just prey on each other, like energetic vampires

Not so, true love is dangerous, it requires loving the other person enough to know what they need and realizing if one cannot provide it, one is better off cutting things off.

That requires so much love it is nearly incomprehensible for most, though over time that underlying flaw will eventually destroy everything.

I like Kahlil Gibran's remark that true love is "to know the pain of too much tenderness." But from what I've seen, people usually get past the phase in their relationship where they even offer that to each other.

It's like something people can only do early in the game when their eyes are shut to all the hardness in the other person, or are blind to all the fault lines in the dynamic of the relationship itself.

This is just what I've seen and experienced.

I was friends with an old couple (the gentleman has passed to the Other Side) who knew each other since kindergarten and had a long, happy marriage. Towards the end, his mind started falling apart, and he would make hateful jabs to his wife, who said to me, "I can't handle this, I'm coming unglued."

If that was true love, why did it devolve into that? Shouldn't something have protected them, as a sort of consecrated Whole, from imploding?

There are no angels or demons in love, there is just love, and it is a wrecking ball or salvation.

It's interesting to me that you see it that way. Well, if love is like "salvation," then are there other religious components? Must it last forever in order to qualify as *true love* (akin to the Calvinist view of "perseverance of the saints")?

I don't mean to sound confrontational, scout's honor, I just wonder how someone who thinks as you do would complete the picture of what true love entails.

Because I see things quite differently, maybe to the point of being jaded.

Maybe there's a God above
But all I've ever learned from love
Is how to shoot somebody
Who outdrew ya.

I think you can feel that you need someone "like a drug" without preying on them. Imagine two self-actualized persons falling in love and living their lives in that rarified air of ongoing, romantic bliss. What if they disagree on something important?

Now, how can they sustain happiness while having this thorn of an ongoing dispute in their sides? Don't they need to resolve the issue...or don't they need anaesthetic, at least? Water always seeks its own level and a perfectly-matched pair will always struggle to regain their essential equilibrium.

Or what if one person is hurt, how can the other person be at peace while their loved one is suffering? See, their emotional states become intertwined.

It's about having a problem that usually can't be solved without another person. I guess love always tends toward that, and so does mere friendliness, and I've just taken it as a given that it ought to be that way.

But lately I'm wondering if technology has made our world so big that our love gets spread too thin amongst relative strangers, and we wear ourselves out being intertwined with too many people at once, and maybe that gets in the way of our being able to focus intently on one person at a time.

I just can't wait until Venus reaches Sagittarius. Y'all ought to be able to see things "my way" a little better then.
