"to love and to be loved" shakespeare once wrote...to feel loved and cared for must surly rank as the two foremost things that everyone looks for in any new romance and even old ones to and yet it does not always work out that way....so when you do fall in love it can hurt sometime's thou a bit of pain does your heart good.......

Love doesn't hurt, at least not the present or future form of it. It's the betrayal and loss when it becomes part of the past, that it starts to hurt.

ALWAYS

Sometimes it's a good hurt.....

YA TILL THEY RIP YOUR HART OUT

Love doesn't hurt

People under the influence of love can allow the strangest things to occur, happen, influence their decisions.

But overall love doesn't hurt, people hurt.

if by that you mean after few long years together and shes beating you up because you forgot to do the laundry then yes, lol, love does hurt haha

but honestly loving someone means that you are able to hurt them and they can hurt you but in the end no matter how many mistakes one or the other make, both can still forgive each other.

TELL THAT TO MY EX SHE STABED ME ANY ONE GOT A TOWL

a326 - everyone has the capability to hurt another, does not mean and should be equaled to love.

ONLY IF YOU DO IT RIGHT

My 2 cents...I have never seen a perfect relationship without at least some issues. Sometimes in relationships, people get hurt. Maybe by something unintentional by the other person or some one might be sensitive. However intentionally hurting someone is never good. That isn't what a relationship or love is. You might love that person, but those actions doesn't show me the other person love you.

Only when you find the wrong one but if you are lucky to find the right one which I am still looking it won't hurt at all.

Question to all those that think that love hurts.

Do you all hurt those whom you love?

Or do you cry foul when you dont get your way?

nope. I control my own life and actions. But when I split from my ex fiance...it hurt and I loved him.

I don't think LOVE hurts....just the actions and responses sometimes. and love has to go both ways and both need to be on the same wave length

so there

Fran, I was not saying that love is equaled to hurting someone. Moreover I was pointing out that love is the ability to forgive someone after they have hurt you. We are all human, none of us are perfect, we are bound to make mistakes.

No, it does not hurt to love. However, love requires us to be vulnerable, which can very easily lead to being hurt. But, it is not the love that hurts us.

We most definitely are human, I see your point was only sharing my perspective.

Forgiveness is not for the other person, but for ourselves to allow us to move forward/on.

I am perfectly imperfect.

well said. I was trying to get at that myself and didn't do a good job

I think you did a good job.

You asked if "loving is the same as "hurting". And the answer is no. There is a difference here. When you fall in love with someone, you have feelings and emotions for that person that you don't for anyone else. Life is better with them in your life. Enjoying dinner, doing something fun like roller skating, or going on vacations together, or enjoying an activity that your partner loves. When you are away from them, you miss them, and when you see them you feel complete to have them there. Yes, over time, we (human beings) get in ruts, and we forget the little things that matter in a relationship. It's when we do these things (which are selfish) we start to see changes in the relationship. Normally, that is when the "hurt" comes in. Hurting comes in when we do something to that someone we are supposed to love so much. To me, the two are seperate. You never start dating a person saying, "Hey, I love you, but love also is the same as hurting, so even though I know you will hurt me in this relationship, know that I am still committed to you and the oncoming hurt".
