And actually, lust can be projected on to someone else. If someone drives you wild in a certain way, I think it's possible to find you're equally wild about someone else who knows the same trick... Love is not interchangeable like that. With love, you want the best for them, want them to be happy, even if that's not in a relationship with YOU. In love you have a healthy interest in that life, family, career etc. They are a whole person, with a context. With lust it's very confined to 'you' and 'me' and how we make one another feel.

Silly_Girl Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Good list scattered. To add to it, lust waxes and wanes in a long term relationship. Few things are so heady and intoxicating as pure lust. It's the stuff many poems and songs are made of. It's easily mistaken for love and sometimes it's hard to separate the two. Lust can be the beginning of falling in love with someone romantically. There is also a difference between healthy love and dysfunctional love. Love ebbs and flows too, in my view. You can fall in love 'more' or 'again', and have times you feel much less connected.

MissBee Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Being inlove is a heightened form of lust in my opinion, and both are different from love. One clue is, people fall in and out of love, just like they do lust. It's fickle. Loving someone isn't just about romance and butterflies. A genuine love is lasting and is more holistic. In love, when people describe it and say they feel it, most times they're talking about the romantic highs and you see it all over this board with APs saying the MP loves the spouse but isn't inlove with me and they are their new paramour. I believe that to be true, as inlove is just heightened romantic feelings which if it has waned in a marriage you can cultivate it again with someone else, even if you don't actually love them. I think you can be in love and love at the same time, but I don't think being inlove necessarily means you love someone or know what love is and you're just as apt to fall out of it as you are lust. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
