ofcourse, there are books on loving others too much...it can be an addiction. Reality bites sometimes.

I wouldn't want someone to love me more than life itself, that would sound scary to me. that would mean they are very dependent.

But I do think I love my children enough that I would die for them to save them. but I wouldn't die just because they made choices that I didn't like.

I'm not sure the term, loving someone to much is the right analagy for weird behavior.

It's more like an obsession or wacked, I don't feel that is real love .

but, people tell me that allllllll the time.uh oh wink

I have been told that someone loves me more than life itself. I have had to ask them not to say that. It is not fair to put that kind of responsibility on me. That seems to help them understand if they're not totally wacked.

However, I would have to agree, I think if it were a matter of saving my children's lives I would probably make the sacrifice. Fortunately, my kids are now old enough they should be able to handle things as an adult.

I don't think so.

When it comes to a person wanting to die...? Well, then they have a seperate problem that just love...

We do become blinded...and, we allow ourselves to, as well...

These are two quotes I like on love:


"Giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they'll love you back. Don't expect love in return; just wait for it to grow in their heart but if it doesn't, be content it grew in yours."


“Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.”

Jalal ad-Din Rumi

Hmm,
As some have already stated, I also would die for my children if need be. But I havent met the woman yet that I love "too" much.
At least not long term.
I have had a woman tell me that I "loved her too much". But that might have been due to drunken lack of performance.......

did that make sense?confused

Thank you for posting theses...they are something that really hit home for me today.

And to the original question, yes one can love too much and misplace oneself by following that path.

This is no doubt a serious question! I hope my response can help.
If your perception of love is that love heals and is good then the ans-were is no, you can never love to much. If it hurts and confuses you leaving you feeling empty then its not Love but an unhealthy perception of what Love is. I think we are all guilty at one time or another of this unhealthy idea of what love is. Just know and believe real love does not hurt!smitten smitten

Even with new improved grown up love, I find personally that you can't love someone too much. For me romance is a full on thing and not a half hearted affair and not just something for the first couple of weeks. True love is unbreakable, for me no other type will do. It's as much about chopping potatoes as it is flowers and chocolates. If your honest and true to yourself, and each other, you know if it's right..it's those little moments of nothing for me is where the spark comes in my opinion. The mutual respect comes from here.

If you learn to really listen, not wait for a gap in sound, you will all learn to really love. Find your spiritual treasures this way and you will have memories to cherish and share forever.

I'm so blessed to be able to share these things with my Princess.
Thank you CS

Yes, you can love someone so much that they become your world. Sometimes the rose colored glasses stay on until the end.
