What does love really ask for?

[The_LionHeart❤️]

This is a question I want to put out for everyone, without pointing at any one person.

Is love only about staying together as long as it feels good?

And when it stops feeling easy, is walking away the right choice?

If someone accepts their mistake and genuinely tries to fix things,
should they be given a chance?

Or is choosing distance always the right way to protect self-respect?

This isn’t about a boy or a girl.
It applies to anyone who has loved, is loving, or hopes to love someday.​

In your view:

Is patience more important in love, or boundaries?

Is forgiveness a sign of weakness or emotional maturity?

And when does “holding on” become unhealthy?

I’m not here to judge.
I just want to understand different perspectives.

Love isn’t meant to feel good all the time. If it were, it wouldn’t shape us.
Staying is not weakness. Leaving is not strength.
What matters is why you choose either.
Patience without boundaries is self-neglect.
Boundaries without patience is fear disguised as self-respect.
Real love lives in the tension between the two

This is beautifully put.
It captures the balance most of us struggle to name.
Love really is less about choosing sides and more about understanding why we stay or leave.
Thank you for adding this depth to the conversation.

Mutual Understanding❤

Exactly.
Mutual understanding is where patience and boundaries finally meet.
Without it, love turns into noise. With it, even silence makes sense ❤
