Here�s my question: Can love be felt at different levels? Moderate, High, Extreme?
Here�s why I ask: Two men; two completely different relationships (and feelings of love).
Past Relationship: I was completely and totally in love and here�s why:
- We were best friends for a while before dating
- We understood each other better than anyone else we had ever met
- Constant conversation and laughter (we have the same exact sense of humor)
- Shared the exact same interests & always had a blast together
- Friends/Family loved him; loved us
Side note: broke up mutually because of timing.
Current Relationship: I love him and here�s why:
- Honest, caring, genuine, trustworthy, committed, handsome, fun
- Very motivated (work, gym, healthy eating habits, to succeed in general)
- Share many interests but have different views on various things (which can be a good thing!)
- Friends/Family love him; love us
I believe I�m currently in love. Even though I am not constantly laughing and he doesn�t actually finish my sentences on a daily basis, I know he truly loves and cares about me. However, I�m confusing myself as to whether I just really like him or if in fact I do love him, regardless of the natural and rare connection I felt in the past.
In summary, am I denying the inevitable with the ex or is my past definition (level) of love a detriment to my current relationship?
To the more experienced & wiser: Please help me out of this cavity of confusion!
� Looking for advice, Salem
