I have seen… I have understood… I have lived the way we are taught to love our romantic partners. We are taught to love them beyond all fault, with a unstoppable, gravity defying sort of love. We are taught that to sacrifice our happiness for them is a noble, romantic gesture. We are taught that boundaries and love, like oil and water, do not mix. We are taught that we fall in love not rise in love and then we wonder why, when it ends - we are often crumbled right where we fell.
