Love is a viral infection with complications, can last for years and go into a chronic form. It is treated in many ways. When mutual love, then this is happiness. Love when you are loved in return is a form of symbiosis. Both the donor and the vampire at the same time believe for a long time that this is mutual, and happy in their own way. Ultimately, the one whose love is the main understands that he is exploited and leaves. According to statistics in 60 percent of couples, a woman chose a man from the calculation to be loved, in 30 percent she likes, and he allows himself to love. About the remaining 10 percent is a separate topic of conversation. ))) I somehow had the idea to offer anyone who wants, for money, before the registry office, to be tested on the lie detector. ))) I'm afraid most of the marriages would not have taken place then. ))) And as the interlocutor commented, the population of the earth would die out. And I thought, or maybe the opposite, it would be better, the egoists would die out, and those who really know how to love, and in couples who have mutual love (which is rare now), would otherwise multiply and multiply. And everyone would live happily on the earth in love and joy. )) Love is a relative concept. Everyone fills him with his meaning. For someone, the desire to help them is already love. For someone caring for themselves favorite beloved, not a reason for reciprocal feelings. Want to understand? Read, think, reflect, and what you did wrong, why you were left alone, according to your own will or not. I mean, without a loved one nearby.   Happiness is also a relative and non-permanent concept (impermanent in time). Egoists love first of all themselves and choose from many who will love them, and they will love this love for themselves. That's why when we say treason, this "love" turns instantly into hate, because they betrayed the love of my beloved. Love disappears to you, and yours seemed not to be. What is true love? At whom to whom? And how much is this mutual? Agree, falling ill with love, be with your loved one, knowing that he loves not you, but your love for yourself? True love is a serious illness and can not be cured in one day and does not go away. It is treated only by erasing from memory those feelings and moments of emotion that you impregnate. Memory is arranged so that strong emotions are always stored in the upper memory and go to storage only with time. A year or two of unwillingness with the object of love. Love wants to return, even through impossible, forgiving. True love is always with elements of masochism. Desire to give something or all to the object of love. Just so without demanding anything in return. From the side it seems that a person is insane, he does not notice the shortcomings of the object of love, they are easy to manipulate, to make to do what they like. I think that the majority experienced such an emotional experience in their lives. Parting in this case a strong painful blow and leaves on the heart, the soul wound, which sooner or later heals, but leaves a scar. Suppose your partner is an egoist, you understand this, but since feelings do not succeed cope, you are in love, you want him to be yours and are confident that he will love in return. What to do? To love an egoist is a common thing in life. In a pair as a rule one is more selfish. He is a vampire, he consumes your love and gives something in answer. This symbiosis is quite viable, since there is an interchange that compensates the initial one-pointedness of emotions in one direction. When a girl in love asks his chosen one, do you love me? and in return receives, "kanechno-estessno." Or when a man is in love or in love, and asks the girl and do you love me? but in return hears something evasive. This is the very thing.
