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 think you hit it right on the nose.
My husband did say this to me. Said he loved me like he loved his mother...but he didn't want to LIVE with her, and he definately didn't want to live with me anymore...or ever again.
That's obviously no longer the case...and was a big clue to me of how he perceived me.
