Hi everyone
This is probably going to sound ridiculous but how do you know when it is really love, when you are in love with someone?
I'm 27, my boyfriend is 25. We've only been together for just over 2 months but we are really really close and I care about him alot. We jumped into things really fast and we're already living together. I really like him and he always tells me (everyday) how he Really really likes me, and that he likes me more than I know, and that he really really cares about me. But neither of us has said the word Love yet. How will I know?
I've had serious relationships before and I was even married once (still am, we're legally separated right now) but I was treated horribly in my past relationships and my new bf treats me so wonderfully. He was also in past relationships where he was treated horribly by his gf's.
How long did it take you to realize you were in love with someone?

Hello and Welcome !
I am not trying to be negative , but when you rush into a relationship and it moves REALLY fast you must be careful because it can die as quickly as it started. I had that with my ex. We thought that we did love each other by the time that we were together for 2 mnths and he was the one who told me first. He said that I was the best relationship that he ever had, that he never thought about marriage before until he met me I already met his parents we were basically living together. We never really fought or anything and then he told me that we rushed into everything to quick and that he was only single for 3mnths and then he met me and feel in love with me and that he has never fallen for anyone as fast as he did with me, and that he needs space. We were only together for 5 mnths until he broke up with me.
I hope your relationship does work out, I really do. I don't think falling in love has a certain time frame, that's why they call it falling in love. If you new when you would fall in love then it wouldn't be falling in love. LOL!!!!!
I wish you the best !

Hi,
Like you I am seperated from my husband (since Oct.) and I always thought to myself...."I will never fall in love again, because I was/am so lucky to have loved someone so much for so long and to have it returned to me as well." Well that all went in the commode (obviously) and now, 6 months later, although it's happening in a very different way, I am finding myself falling in love with someone. And I'm pretty positive that it's being returned.
Love knows no boundaries or understands the concept of time.....it's a funny emotion that will make you feel so ......well you know. Anyways, when it comes to you, you'll know. Harness it and nurture it for as long as you have it, cause you're lucky to have had it at all.
Love and Light,
