Well. Like the song, Love hurts. This is absolutely true. I don`t know your situation so i cannot tell you why. All i know is why my own love hurts. I`m in love with a girl but she doesn`t love me back. It hurts but i`m doing allright.

It hurts because of attachment.
try not being so attached.

your Tag says boyfriend.

Does he not love you the way you love him?

i disagree. If your not going to get attached why bother? i figure if love is worth it its going to be painful and hard and its going to suck at times. the way i see it if you love them and they love you then try not to over analyze it so much and feel what you feel and be ready to go back and forth sometimes between pain and love.

if this person doesn’t love you back then being less attached would be wise. Try to find someone else to spend more time with.

he does love me, at least he says he does. i don’t know that he feels as deeply about me as i do about him though, he doesn’t talk about his feelings very much so it’s sometimes hard for me to know if we feel the same or if i feel more strongly about him than he does me. i think maybe this is part of the problem for me, i’m afraid that i am the pathetic girl who loves her boyfriend more than he loves her and i don’t want to be that girl.

i know how you feel. its hard when guys dont talk about their feelings. the only thing you can do is believe him. If he doesn’t love you as much as you love him it will come out and you two will seperate. But dont work your self up over speculation. I know thats not always possible. we’re girls- we worry. its not pathetic girl to love your boyfriend more than he loves you if you dont know thats true. THat kind of girl is the kind that stays with a man who treats her bad or is mean to her. if your boy friend is not this kind of guy then believe him when he says he loves you and tell him how much it means to you when he tells you how he is feeling.

try not to worry.

get some hobbies and hang out with friends.
I even start hanging around other girls I sorta like to kinda
help relieve some of that attachment feeling to the girl I love.
It really helps me!

Sir Cody has a point.

IMO you are not supposed to be feeling “hurt” in a relationship. Maybe what hurts you is the fact that he’s not as open as you wish w/his emotions? Insecurity maybe? Im not sure.

Keep in mind that words are not all in the relationship, observe how he treats you, observe his actions, maybe thats his way of “expressing his love” towards you.

Maybe its not true, selfless love that you are in. I heard recently that we
don’t “fall” in love, but love is something that we do. True love will always
be happy and not hurt, although there are always hard times at all times of
our lives.

i feel the same way you do..
i guess it’s just true that when you open your heart to someone you are as well exposing it, vulnerable enough to get hurt.. :(
i love him but i dont feel he even feels the same way i do..
he doesnt make me feel go0d abotu myself at all i don’t know beign with him brings out all the insecurities in me.. :(

love hurts okay but that’s why you ******* do it. You do it because you care about someone enough to put yourself through the pain and believe me in the end the feeling is so ******* fantastic that you realize that the pain before was worth it just don’t be a **** and let go of that feeling cause you get scared or some of that ********, the real challenge is keeping hold of it because you will get scared by it, don’t let it go whatever you do. DON’T **** IT UP LIKE I DID!!!
