i dont agree, one should always love someone unconditionally, without expecting, that way you will never get hurt. and its not how much you love a person that makes them think they are the superior one and they can manipulate you.....its their behaviour and ego that does that...may be he/she with that kinda attitude is not right for you. as far as cheating and beating....well dump him or call 911. but always love with all your heart, and try to make it work out as much as you can. and yeah...to fall in love is easy, to make someone feel loved is totally diff, and to make your love work out is totally diff,,,that takes more effort , morale and responsibility more than love itself...love is just something that starts the relationship, not that keeps the relationship going....its just not love that matters in love.
