Intellectually, we're a great fit together. I just don't know if I love her as much as she loves me!

Question - (20 December 2005) 3 Answers - (Newest, 21 December 2005)
A male , *amie2 writes:

Hi there,

I'm 27 and my girlfriend is 25. We've been together for a year and a half. We get on really well, have a lot in common and the sex is good. She gets on well with my family and me with hers. We spend pretty much all our time together out of work and get on really well for most of it and have fun.

My problem is that she tells me that she loves me regularly. Whilst I care for her a lot, deep down I'm not sure that I feel the same. However, when I look at it intellectually there are so many things about the relationship that are good and it's much better than being single.

My dilemma is, do I end it with her because I'm not completely in love? Or would it be stupid of me to throw away what is otherwise a great relationship?

Any advice?

Many thanks,

Jamie

Is a great relationship the basis of living with someone for the rest of your life?

If you are asking these questions now - imagine how you might feel after the marriage certificate has been signed and you are in there, permanently. Skip out now whilst the going is fairly easy.

Hi Jamie,

I think you just simply have to ask yourself "do i see and or want a future with this girl" I believe that love can grow out of a friendship or can sometimes just take a bit longer to develope then you'd expect. If you enjoy your time with her and are attracted to her then why should you end it. If in time you relaise the above does not apply then your know that its just not right. Why not for the moment take each day as it comes until you know deep down exactley if she is what you want. All the best and happy christmas x

Maybe she just "loves" how she feels when you two are spending time together. Maybe we as a society have not yet understood the difference, or if there is one.
