Stupidity and Love

How will you know if someone is really in love with another person or just being stupid? You see I got a friend that really "loves" this guy. I quote that part since that's according to her. But I don't think so. This guy already cheated on her not just once or twice but thrice! After the third time she still forgives and accepted him. I don't think its love. Its just plain stupidity! I think its okay if you forgive someone the first time, the second time alright, alright, but the third I don't think so. What do you think? Does she really love that guy or just being stupid? And how can we tell if we are becoming stupid and not loving someone?

If you really love someone, then you care about them, and you will be there for them when they are at their worst and when they are in a situation so bad that only you can get them out of it. If this person hurts you in any way, be it emotional, mental, or physical, then you should never be with them, NEVER. Why? Because they will never change, and they do not want to change. If they love you, truly love you, they will not hurt you. Love doesn't have to hurt. If a man cheated on me three times, I would never want to speak to him or talk to him ever again. I wouldn't waste one fiber of my being on him because he isn't worth it. She needs to let him go, and move on. She needs to be with someone who loves her for who she is and who genuinely cares for her. I could forgive the first time because people make mistakes, but I could never forgive a second time because that is when it goes from being a mistake to being on purpose. "Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me." Your friend should learn that quote.

Oh I've known a lot of people like your friend. I think it's stupidity too. Especially when they get hurt physically and still forgive it at the end of the day even if they have all those bruises. Whenever my friend, well most of the ones that open up with me are girls. I always tell them "girl, if he really loves you, there is no way he's gonna hurt you, he'll treat you like a queen, and most of all, he'll not give you even just a small reason to get you hurt." That guy is not the last guy in this world. He's not worthy for the love and attention. As for your friend. I believe that is stupidity. As for you question on how can we tell we're becoming stupid. Oh I think one will be one if you let people hurt you, especially with your partner. You have right, your not a toy, you are living, breathing, eating and HUMAN. If you are letting people hurt you, that is stupidity.

This is not stupidity, it's a blind love.Usually, blind love is the first stage of any love.The partner seems perfect, bad things or qualities unimportant, denied or hidden.Sooner or later, the common sense start working.I know women who accept humiliation from their partner just because they satisfy them in bed.This is not love because love is based on respect.I call them lust slaves.

When you love you become stupid, you accept, forgive and take all the pain and love that person more. In loving there's a greater chance that you'll be hurt because you are giving your best to please that person. Either it is an act of stupidity or not all you care is your happiness and that persons happiness regardless on what other people say. I may say that I am also stupid when it comes to love but i am happy and contented of what i have. Once before i also told my self i won't be like that as what my friends doing to their partners but i ate all the words i said when i fell inlove. I guess it's up to the person. Have you tried loving a person real? If so you also done stupid things for that person unconsciously.

Looks to me that this guy is giving her something that she wants. Maybe he pays attention to her or makes her feel good about yourself. Ask her what about that she likes/loves about him. And this guy knows what she is craving and taking advantage of it. If you can make her realise this maybe she can see how mean this guy is. I cannot guarantee that if you follow my advice that your freindship with this girl will continue though. So be cautious going about it.

True love and stupidity are in no ways related. you can sense and feel true love and stupidity you can well sense and feel stupidity. I'm a stong believer in love and soul mates. and i just think you know when someone is the real thing.

We cannot tell if that is stupidity. The only thing i'm sure is that your friend has a reason why she forgive him for the 3rd time. You know sometimes it is really hard to have a battle with your heart...
