Have you experienced real love gilly?, and can you answer this question yourself. You have to be able to do something that you wish others to be able to do. For me personally, what i thought was real, was not, so nope i can't honestly answer this, however, i do know couples who appear to attain Real Love, and so yes, it is certainly a possibility.

Is it safe to assume you are not a parent Gilly????
As most parents about true love. It might be different from the love you were asking about, but that is the best version of true love I could truly admit to.
I love my parents, as much as we might be different and annoy each other from time to time.
I love my fiance. That is true.
So what does "real love" mean? Hopefully it's not some fairy tale you were hoping to hear about.

love for parents and family doesn't count in this forum.no one would ask if we really love our family because it is already understood and everyone's knowledge that we all do,it's an in-born thing.he's asking about the love we can give to person whom we don't know from years before but all of a sudden came to our life and made our lives changed.if you feel your life have been shakened,felt and looks different,you can or may say you're in love.i know what real love is,i experienced it,shared it to the one i loved,lived with it,and became stronger because of it.we all know what real love is,whether we experienced it or not yet. we can write the best and the most colorful definition of it,but the good questions should be....can i give "real love"?can i make myself happy by making her happy first?can i accept and love everything in her,her past,her attitudes,and etc?can i give her protection that she needs from the man she loves?what about possible sacrifices,can i do whatever it takes?am i ready to get hurt and say "i dont' care if am hurt,i loved anyways!!"?in a worse unwanted situation,can i give way,forgive,and live without regret losing the one i love?if you guys would ask me those questions...my answer is yes to all of the above.that's from my experience,and that's what real love is,and i know i can do it again!!peace to all
Gilly's question was regarding "REAL Love" and have we ever experienced it, or could tell "What Real Love" is.
I did not see anything that said, it could only be between you and the person you are with. Nothing in his question said we could not mention children or family.
True love... is how my father feels about my mother and visa versa. After 54 yrs of marriage, they hold hands, still give each other a kiss, he buys her flowers every week. My mother has the patience of a saint and still lights up when my father is around. They care for and respect each other. That is what I call true love between 2 people in a relationship. My mother brings out the best in my father. I've learned more about love in a healthy relationship from them, than anyone else.
I feel that the person I am engaged to, has taught me much about love. Is it a fairy tale??? NO. Do I feel I am in a relationship that is strong and healthy? YES!!
"Real love"? It, in my opinion, is something that is very individual. The love that is so complete and unconditional, that began before the birth of my children - that is real love. The love that I witnessed between my Grandparents for over 60 years - that was and is real love. But, both kinds are different from the other. Real love? Between lovers/partners? For me it is without conditions, it is accepting, it is forgiving. It is knowing that we don't have to be together all the time in order to love one another. It is not completing the other, or two halves becoming one...it is two completes complimenting each other, nurturing, learning,challenging, honouring,being together and not having to say anything. Feeling his eyes watching me and feeling safe. Real love for me is when he knows enough to let me figure things out, not to do it all for me, to respect each others opinions and differences, and not try to even begin to change the other. Real love is allowing the other to teach us something. Real love is when we bring out the best in each other. When there in no comparing us to past relationships...because we are we and we are what matter. Real love is knowing in my heart, that whatever may happen, I will always be a better person because of the love I have given to, been given and have accepted from a very special man. There is so much more, because real love is not constant, it changes and strengthens, it deepens and yes it may even hurt, but it is real... Did I love before...yes, but not as a whole, healthy person and it was not respectful or honourable...was it real? I don't know, but I know that it was REALly unhealthy...
