I know that a lot of you have heard the old "I love you but I'm not in love with you" (ILYBNILWY) line. I have a question that has been rolling around in my head for a while.
BTW, my H never said that to me. He actually told me he still loved me more than ever. When I told him several days later that I was going to make him fall in love with me all over again, he said that he'd have to fall out of love with me to do that. Needless to say, that made me feel wonderful. ANYWAY, back to my question...
What in the world do those of you who have been told that think it means? I know that there are different kinds of love, but what do you think is the difference in loving your S and being in love with your S?
I personally think that a lot of people think that when you are in love with someone you should always have that pulse-racing, romantic, lovey-dovey feeling and that you always feel loving toward that person. I think that when they don't have that feeling the majority of the time, they then start to think that they are no longer in love, but that they simply love that person. Does that make sense?
I'd really like to hear what you think. I think that that line, ILYBNILWY, is the most ridiculous statement.
