Thread: Only one "True Love?"

I think that there can be multiple people who could become 'true loves'. Like, in the situation, where your partner was to die very early on, i think you could easily go on and find another true love to share the rest of your life with.
I also think that some people are called to be single. Like nuns and Catholic priests. So, that perfect one, doesn't apply to them either.

There's no such thing as true love. There's only such thing as love. There's no need to romanticize love, it sucks.

I used to believe in soulmates, but that was before I fell in love again.

'There's no need to romanticise love' hahaha!

Over 6-billion people in the world. If you think that there's only one person out there that could fall in love with then you're being silly.

I know plenty of people who have left their ministry as well because they fell in love. I also know some priests who had an epic love but left that relationship to become a priest. If the whole one person for everyone rule applied though, that woman whose boyfriend left her for the priesthood is going to spend the rest of her life alone.
It wasn't meant to start some sort of debate. It was an example that some people choose a path that doesn't involve their one true love.

I've never really been all that romantic when it comes to this stuff. I don't believe in "true love" at all. I believe people are (or aren't) compatible. You either get along and make it work or you don't. I think just about any two people can be together, if they want to make it work and take the necessary steps.

Someone once told me that the reason I don't believe in that and the reason I hate chick flicks is because I've "never experienced love like that." Haha. So funny. I wanted to punch that asshole in the face.

at the end of the day id like to believe love is a choice

No, unless the universe is kind enough to put everyones soul mates within arms reach...

I completely agree! Also love is not as special as people may think. I love my boyfriend, I loved my last boyfriend, and the on before that, I love my friends, I love my basketball team, I love my mum, I love my lavender plants that don't die.

I don't think there's only one true love. But I'm not sure. I thought I was in love with BHP when we were engaged, but now looking back it was just puppy love, not the real thing. Whereas now Markus and I have been together for almost three years and aren't even engaged yet (tho I'll def say yes when he makes the question!), and I consider him to be the love of my life. But who knows who I'll be with in ten years time?
