Hello, question asker! I'm Rose, and I'm here to listen and support you.
From what you've said, I can tell you're feeling pretty distressed and sad right now. The deeper you love someone, the harder it is to be hurt by love and the more difficult it is to move on.
What is this so-called "obsession"? Are you trying to figure out if this relationship is real?
What is this so-called "obsession" of yours? Are you trying to figure out if this relationship is real?
No matter if it's true love or not, when it hurts you and you see it's not really there, there's an element of falsity in it.
1. The initial deception
He was excited about being with you, but then he didn't prioritize your relationship. I can imagine this was tough for you to accept! But the other person said they loved you and came back to you, and at that time you fell in love with each other, so you accepted each other.
You should have used this love to meet your own emotional needs, but you didn't think things through.
2. You're trying to help the other person, but you think that's loving them.
If your partner has failed in business and you can help out with the finances, you think that this is love and the way to keep your partner from leaving you.
Meanwhile, the other person gives you emotional value and makes you feel loved. It's more about each person getting what they want than about love.
3. He says he loves you, but he doesn't act like it.
He says he loves you, but then he betrays you. The true test of love is loving someone and being irreplaceable.
Given that he was able to betray you, it seems that his love is not as focused as it could be, and that he does not love you as much as you think.
He'll probably come back to you, but not because he loves you. It'll be because he still needs what he can get from you. Maybe because you've given him so much, he won't be able to betray you completely.
You ask if his love is true love. I have to ask you, though, what you think true love is like.
It's important to remember that just because someone loves you doesn't mean it's true love. When you truly love someone, there are no ulterior motives, just an emotional attraction.
4. Is your love for him what you'd call true love?
It depends on how you define true love and whether you've truly experienced it.
If you love someone, you're attracted to them emotionally, but you're also independent. When one person is in trouble, the other can help out without taking on all the responsibilities of the other person.
Your love also makes you question yourself, and that's good, as long as you can afford it. At the same time, it shows that you don't really know what love is.
5. Your love has led to some tough times and a bit of self-doubt.
Love is amazing when it first happens. It touches the beautiful fantasies we've had inside us, and we just want to be with each other. This is the freshness of love.
But after this stage, our enthusiasm will wane, and we'll transition from fantasies to reality. At this point, we'll have a good grasp on ourselves and each other. If you still love each other for who you really are, then this love is worth it.
If you can't be as dedicated and loyal as you were before, then it's not really love.
6. Pain in love
It's not just about how love is, but also how we see ourselves in love. When we don't feel loved, we think we're not good enough or not worthy of love, and we end up in a bit of a pickle.
This is something you need to work through on your own.
At the same time, this is also the point you're struggling with. If the other person is with you for the money, you'll feel like you're not important because you don't have it, and you'll think you're not good enough. If the other person betrays you because they love you, you'll feel like you're not doing enough, and you'll fall into internal conflict.
What is true love?
What is true love?
Sternberg's love triangle theory says that true love is about passion, intimacy, and commitment. There's mutual attraction and understanding, as well as intimacy, but there's also a commitment to take responsibility for the relationship.
My dear, true love is something that makes you feel good about yourself and that nourishes the relationship, rather than draining it. It's also something that makes you feel trusted and safe.
When we know how to love ourselves, we can recognize true love in others.
Maybe we didn't have much experience with love in the past, but after going through it, we can learn to love again.
I just wanted to say that I love you and wish you well.

I can feel the pain and confusion you're going through. Love should be built on honesty, trust, and mutual respect. In your case, it seems like there's a lot of deception and uncertainty which is not healthy for any relationship. It's important to reflect on what you truly want and need from a partner.
This situation sounds incredibly tough. Love shouldn't come with so many doubts and betrayals. Maybe it's time to think about what you deserve in a relationship. Honest communication and respecting each other's feelings are crucial. If those elements are missing, it might not be love but rather dependency or convenience.
Your story makes me sad because it feels like you've been put in a very difficult position. Love isn't supposed to make you question everything or feel used. Perhaps you're feeling so conflicted because deep down you know this isn't a healthy dynamic. Love should uplift both people involved, not bring them down.
It's hard to see clearly when you're in the middle of such a complex emotional turmoil. Love is supposed to be something that brings joy and fulfillment, not constant suffering and doubt. It may be that you're trying to justify your feelings because you've invested so much emotionally and financially. Take a step back and consider if this is really what love means to you.
The way I see it, love is about two people supporting each other as equals, sharing both the good times and the bad. What you've described doesn't sound like a balanced relationship. It seems more like onesided sacrifice and unmet expectations. True love respects boundaries and fosters personal growth. Maybe it's time to look for a healthier form of love that values you as you deserve.
