[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It IS real but not ever-lasting. It's like chocolate in your mouth, sweet taste while it lasts. You need an ember fire for ever lasting love, not burning fire.[/quote]

NP. No, that PP is right and phrases it very well: "You need an ember fire for ever lasting love, not burning fire." Just because you have not experienced what the PP is describing does not mean it doesn't exist anywhere, for anyone. Your experience is not universally applicable. Just blurting "Wrong" does not make PP wrong.

I think OP and many, many others have heard too much of the "soul mate" nonsense that our culture, the media we consume, and sites like this one perpetuate. So many posts here over the years from frustrated people saying they want to leave someone they supposedly love because "the spark is gone" etc.  That is immature love, always expecting sparks and fireworks and magic daily. Mature love, love of the whole person, is based on much more than physical attraction and chemistry, wonderful as those things are.

But there is no way to convince those like OP or others who have either been burned by love, or never experienced a mature, committed love. [/quote]
