Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life...You give them a piece of you. They didn't ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like 'maybe we should be just friends' turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love.

I know how that feels, it's actually indescribable hurt! But I don't hate love. I just hate the situation. I might have been hurt but I know I wouldn't stop loving. I might not succeed in one relationship but sooner or later, who knows, we will find someone who we love and will truly love us and will never leave us.

For me , I hate to be inlove with someone! Indeed.. It makes us miserable and vulnerable when it fresh but time goes the pain is gone but the scars are still there then it will help us to be more wise when it comes to love someone and love again. For now, I'm single for 3yrs . I really enjoyed it but sometimes the other sides of me looking for love and care of someone.but still I'm scared to be inlove with someone.

I have never been in love with anyone~(^^) BUT I NEVER hate love. Not because I have never get hurt but I always believe love is innocent. If you want to feel hate, hate the one who hurt you. The stupid person..Don't blame love for this.

Love is not always a good thing. I have been there and I know how bad it feels. But you do get over it. You have to take this situation and learn from it, that way yo will never make the same mistake again. I think everyone should experience a broken heart at least once in their lives. Believe me, it is a major learning experience and makes you stronger. Things light seem real bad right now, but it will not stay that way.

Well i can blame you for what you are feeling right now. I once had the same feeling. i have been dumped so many times and i have experienced of becoming a fool because of it. But don't let these experience get you to hate being in love forever. When times come, you should still let your heart be open to somebody. Let yourself love again. And I am sure that there is someone that will love you, just be patient in waiting for this person and I am sure that when this person comes, you will become happy and you will have the feeling of completeness.

No, no, no you have it all wrong my friend. I thought the same as you once, but then I met my soul mate. True love and I mean true love, makes you happy. If you can say that you hate love, then my friend you have never been in love before. Only when you experience true love will you know that love is not about hurting one another. True love is not about pain, it is about happiness. My husband and I don't get on all the time, but you have to work at marriage. You cannot give up at the first hurdle. We have two beautiful kids together aged 6 and 2. It's stressful. I have mental health problems, but we work at it. We love one another and that is what makes our marriage work. I don't believe that people have truly experienced what soul mate love is like until they have met their soul mate. True love is different. It is about a life you make for one another. When you have met your soul mate you will not want to ever split up. However, it's not a smooth journey because life brings pain, sadness and stress. When you love one another, you make life easier for one another.

I can't and don't hate Love, as Love never hurts me. I just happened to fall for those who didn't love me back. I still love, as strong as before. I can't imagine life without love. At the very least, we love ourselves, every living being deserves love and be loved one day you will find someone that loves you back as much as you love him but until that day comes, love yourself and be attentive to your own needs

There is love for a family member and that feels lovely like a mother loving for new born baby. She will love that person for his or her whole life. That sort of family love is unconditional. Romantic love when the other person doesn't feel the same can be miserable. If the couple are both in love and are one hundred percent compatible love can feel delightful. I can see what you mean about romantic love being painful. Love gets inside the emotions and can mess them up. A single person can try to build up defenses against getting hurt again. Some people still hold a candle for a past boyfriend or past girlfriend. Not seeing that person anymore can feel bitter. I don't think divorce is the right thing to do because it is hurtful to the couple doing that. Divorce can emotionally hurt children greatly in the first two years. Love might last forever but if the relationship doesn't it leads to a horrible feeling. I can fully understand why you hate love and I enjoyed reading your interesting discussion.

Love is a beautiful thing anyway. Everybody's longing for it. Sometimes we are scared because of those unfogetable hurts made by love. But we can never find reason to hate it. Or we can say, if something bad happened hurt you, you can't call it love. Then try to find someting can heal you, and you can find your true love.

Don't hate LOVE. I keep telling that it's not LOVE to be blame...it's the person who caused you pain. Hate the person---- but not LOVE.

Because you have been hurt in love doesn't mean love is a bad thing. It is a good thing, its just that every thing has got a good side and a bad side. Now you have experienced the bad side of it, all you can do now is pick up the pieces of your life and move on. Please don't hate love because there are very few people who don't experience heartbreaks but they just let time heal them and move on. Give it time, you will feel better.

I know how you feel I've been broken hearted so many times. A lot of times I wanted to stay clear out of love way. But I think when you found the right person love can be great. The love for my boyfreind leads me to try very hard to surpport us. Love gives life new meaning. When you give your heart away to another you are leaving yourself volunerable to alot of pain. Its up to you wither you want to open your heart or not.

There is more than one kind of love, you can't just hate all love and be psychologically sound. You need some love to live, for if you have no love at all within you, then how do you even love life? The fact of the matter is, people assume love is just a bf/gf thing, but it is much more than that, true there is the abuse of love, the extremes of love, that leads to many terrible things in our lives and tears us apart... emotionally. But giving up on any love, any love at all? That too leaves us empty, leaves us barren and dried up inside. We can say it doesn't hurt anymore, turn an apathetic outlook, but it is still there, and throbs as an unhealed wound. Heh, it may seem funny for me to say such things, to preach the importance of such a feeling, I was never loved in the way of a relationship, everyone avoids me in such a way, because I'm strange, and those that try are far too young to understand its depths, I could never rightfully accept it. I suppose I've never had the chance to feel that sting you mention. I actually kinda wish I did... Regardless, I still have people I love...

I get how you feel. I hate love too. Its the same for me, building a barrier up to protect myself when someone just comes in and crash it all so easily, and then again, leaving as if nothing has ever happened. I hate it. I don't believe in love anymore. I used to believe in love, but i guess it just doesn't believe in me. So why should i believe in it any longer? All i can do is be strong, life still have to move on, but one great thing that i have learn, is to never ever believe in love again. Because i hate it.
