I went to see this movie yesterday, a crippled drinker husband says to his wife: “If you stop loving me, I wont blame you.”
She responds: “I might hate you more, but I wont love you less…”
This is one of the best understanding of love I have heard lately: Love is always there. You might get mad, you may be disappointed, you may disagree, you may even hate… but this has nothing to do with the love you feel. Love doesn’t exclude other feelings, neither other feelings extinguish love. It is not one OR the other. It is all together. It is not because you love that you can’t feel antagonist sentiments. You love, your heart is open, so you are likely to feel multiple emotions.
You could even consider to leave that person, you can get divorced and never want to see that person again, but still love him/her.
You’re right. I have also wondered how people can be so annoyed with each other and still go on. But they do it because there is love as their foundation. Thanks for making it clearer. Deb B.
Well, there is love while you go on connecting with that love… and that’s the main issue here: I can love AND be mad at that same person. But when the AND doesn’t exist anymore… that’s another issue!
