do you believe in this old saying, does loving a person really means accepting him wholeheartedly even his bad attitude, can't we show love by correcting them?

on my personal point of view, loving doesnt mean tolerating the wrong doing of the one you love, if you will advice him or her to change what you think is wrong with her then you love the person more cause you want her or him to change to become a better person.

i disagree,if you really love someone, you should be strong enough to tell him/her about things he/she should change in his/her attitude.

That is true. If you must love a person you must first ask yourself if you can keep up with his negative attitude or ugliness. When there is true love it goes beyond the obvious. However, this is easier said than done. But with constant practice we can perfect it.

I do not know how others feel about this, but I think it is dependent entirely upon you yourself. Do you truly love him? Not necessarily his bad attitude, but everyone has their good days as well as their bad days. If you love him, try to support him, do not provoke him on his bad days, and if he tries to take everything out on you, go into another room, separate yourselves for a little while, let him cool down and hopefully everything will work out for the best. Do not allow him to abuse you just because he is having a bad day or having a bad attitude, this should not happen, he should be adjusting his bad attitude instead of taking things out on you. Good luck with this situation and I wish you the best and wish you much happiness.

Old saying is right but you have to take in proper way. You have to accept the person with his basic good attitude not bad attitude.Life is also that you have to take good only throw bad thing outside. Take and accept only good thing then n then you can be good human.So correcting his/her bad attitude is not a wrong thing but same time look his/her good things also then n then you can love him more n love can do anything he/she will surely change his/her bad attitude. thanks.
