Is love already enough to stay in a relationship?

based on my experience, love is really not enough.... my last relationship failed... though i love him, i don't want to be with him anymore because i am not happy with our relationship... well my reason would be that his attitudes are starting to change day by day... he was a quiet guy before, then he started to talk trash whenever we're into a fight or when he's jealous, then after that, he started slapping me... you know, in every person, there will come a point that you'll make yourself martyr, just like what i did with my past relationship... i tolerated my ex... what i do think is i love him and that's all that matters, that its really normal to be shouted, nagged and hitted by ur bf, but there came a point that i had my belly pierced. he verbally abuses me in public saying nasty words about me, then he even had the courage to go at our house because he wanna pull the ring! he said if i don't want to remove the ring, he'd be the one pulling it.. then it came to a point he was about to punch me.. and that's it, i don't know him anymore.. so after that incident, i really broke up with him even if i still have feelings for him... i wouldn't waste my time with a person like that after all..

If a rope ties things so that they don't fall apart, I would say that love is that rope in a relationship. It doesn't however mean that the rope is enough to keep things as a unit. U sometimes need to factor in if the knot is solid, or if the rope is not exposed to any substance that will make it brittle, etc. If it makes you, so unhappy, maybe you should really sit down and find a way to retie the bond. If this still doesn't work and you are still unhappy, maybe love isn't there anymore. Hope you can work it out well, empress.

love is never enough .. it should be accompanied by enough reasons to stay in a reltionship and the most essential thing is like support and things like that are very important to . . love will never be just love in my opinion if you love somebody but doesnt have the right reasons to make you stay with him/her then i guess lvoe isn't enough to gauurantee
