When you’re in love with someone and they
breakup with you or things blow up, if it gets to a
point where you’re being hurt repeatedly, you’re not
going to keep setting yourself up to be hurt
repeatedly. Simply because it hurts too much. When
you love a person, their mistakes, their wrongs, their
disrespect, their negative words are going to cut you
so much deeper than a person you’re just lusting after.
In a lust-filled situation a person can and will
keep taking a beating and come back to the person
over and over again. I can honestly say, if this is his
behavior, he doesn’t really love you. Nope, it’s
infatuation. There is an unhealthy attachment there.
True love can’t withstand this constant beating
and punishment. It doesn’t mean the person stops
loving the other person. If you’re truly in love with
someone, you’re going to love them, period, end of
story. Even if you can’t be with them, you will still
love them. When you’re still trying to be with them
even though they keep pushing you away, doing you
wrong, or acting out, that’s not love.
Back to Justin. Again, when it’s lust, it’s easy to
take the hit, get back up and return to the scene of
the crime. Again, I’m speaking specifically of men
