No, love is easy. Reality is difficult.

Reality is tedious and exhausting. Love is naive.

More seriously, i agree with the posters that say love has sacrifice in it (and happiness as well)

It's about sacrifice. I would make the ultimate sacrifice for my loved one. Not only would I take a bullet for him, but I would put a bullet in myself to protect him. (copied)

i.e. the things my parents/relationships do for me really shows that they love me.

if you substitute the word "sacrifice" with "selflessness," I would agree.

in this context i would define a person's level of selflessness by the level of sacrifice that person is willing to make for the sake of their loved one.

It's not love that's hard at all. It's living with the one you love that's hard. It's being able to accept that which you do not love about that person which is hard.

"But I love you," she said.

"So what? I love you too."

And then we got divorced.

I think people, in general, have it backwards. You don't fall in love and then choose to spend all your time together. You realize that spending time together is usually the first choice. For both of you. And then, voila, you found love!

I doubt it happens that way for most. That's kinda weird, or maybe just very old country style, like in arranged marriages. Given freedom, few people would choose to be with someone they don't already love. After all, hanging around with people all the time is some trying sh*t as it is.

This is why love is hard. If two people really love each other they have to find a way to make it past the things they do not like about each other. The last line should not be "And then we got divorced". There should be a lot of other things happening before the divorce happens.
I am divorced, 18 years ago now, and by the time we split up the first two lines would not have been the same. Love was no where to be found on either side. I have also been pretty damn close to divorce to my current wife and if it wasn't for a lot of work and effort on both of our parts we would have ended up divorced as well. I think the difference was that my wife and I actually do love each other and we were willing to work on our differences and make sacrifices (or concessions) for each other and be OK the remaining flaws in the other person.

When two people are in love they have to learn to accept the things they do not like about each other. No matter how much you love the other person there will always be some things you do not like. You will never find someone else who is 100% perfect in your eyes for the rest of your life
