can people actually "run out of reasons" to love?

personally, i think not. because in the first place, love and reason do not go together. if you love, you lose all sense of reason and if you find you have reason, then you cease to love. this is maybe why the saying that "love is blind" is so popular, because it is true. well, at least for me. people have different opinions on this, after all. so what is yours? and what do you do if you reach that stage when you finally ran out of reasons to love someone? :)

My dear friend,I absolutely agree with your viewpoints.Love is often guided by emotional outbursts of mind and do not seek any logical and rational thinking,because of its inherent nature.It is the natural and spontaneous call and response of one's heart and is rather more subjective and qualitative.It naturally flows like a river or a stream,knowing no definite course and direction,with ultimate objective of merging with its destination,just as a river finds its way to finally merge with the remote ocean.The faculty of rational thinking just stops workig,giving way to intuitive insight of one's own heart to guide its flow.It is as pure as a natural honey;reasons and arguments of any kind merely attempt to pollute its content. Thanks.

Falling out of love is a reason by itself to move away from a relationship, as falling in love is a reason to go into a possible relationship. There are reasons why we fall and feel for someone, as there may be reasons why we stopped loving someone. So I guess for me, love and reason do very much go together. Have a nice day kayedanda!

Yes, you can. Love doesn't make you lose reason, infatuation does. Love is not infatuation. Nor is it love that is "blind", that is also infatuation. Infatuation will always fade and when it does, if there is no real love there and no reason to love, there is nothing. Oftentimes, infatuation can blind us to someone's faults and make us feel like they don't matter, but when they infatuation is gone, they matter.

When I found out that I run out of reasons to love someone, that someone has done something really really bad to me. Can be betrieal, theft, lying or something else. If I have lost my faith in someone I can be run out of reasons to love him or her. Maybe if time goes by things will come right. Maybe not. If you really feel you dont have any reasons left over to love somebody, you are out of love. And then you have to move on, to prevent yourself from falling into a depression.
