How can somebody say I love you to the bottom of my heart when they don't even respect the decision of the person they are trying to impressed. How can one say I love you ? when he can even understand and respect the person for being who she was?

He can't. They both go together although men find it hard to understand women and women, men. But they should still respect the decision and if they do not like it, give a reasonable explanation but not get upset if the other does not follow it.

Hi te! You are very right that respect and love go together. You just can not love a person, if you do not have respect for that person and if you are not respecting a person deep in your heart, you just can not love him. Those who love without respect are actually fooling others and perhaps themselves also.

Love and respect goes hand in hand. Coz when one loves a person, he will do anything to make sure that his/her loved one will never feel anything bad against his/her actions. Respect is needed in order to nurture that love.

saying i love you is easy to say. but i agree that in needs respect. because, without it, its become very hurtful to the other person. specially when the other person is loving the person who told his/her i love you. thats why i believe that before you say i love you to anyone, you should be sure of your feelings not just because you want to see smile on his/her face. being true to your self and others is not a crime.

I believe that love, trust and respect goes hand in hand. You cannot say that you love a person if you have no trust and respect, and how can you respect someone if you have no trust and love (which comes in many different forms)? Love is such a strong word, but it loses its meaning when people just say it without meaning it just for the sake of saying it.

There can't be genuine love without respect because if you love a person, you should respect them and also care about their feelings and dignity. They go hand in hand. If you don't have respect for the person, I don't understand how you can truly love them. Since if you lose respect, it's more like pity and not something called love.

Sometimes love is confused for mere attachment. When we are displeased or dissatisfied with what our significant other fails to do, we immediately judge that they don't love us. To be able to love we need to expand our understanding and perspective.
