Shouldn't we redefine love?

When your partner doesn't want to marry you and prefers being like that for unspecified period of time as long as (he/she )gets( her/his )emotional (if it's real) and sexual needs.

* Is such a relationship a kind of deception and manipulation or is it normal?

* If it's normal,why does a woman feel so happy when her partner proposes?

* Is love a main condition in every couple's relationship?

* what does love mean?

This is another opinion out of italki

1. It could be understandable and perfectly normal if your partner just wants to experience life as a couple and isn’t really thinking about marriage at the time. Marriage doesn’t need to happen straight away and should never be rushed. Many couples like to experience life together, travel and explore the world before deciding to settle down and get married, especially if it’s a young couple.

2. A woman feels happy because when her partner proposes, he’s basically saying “YOU are the one I want to spend my life with. There will never be anyone else.” And yes, people in relationships say that to each other a lot, but proposing basically makes it “official”. That’s why a lot of people refer to getting married as “tying the knot”. And when a woman realises that her partner truly is the one for her, and not just another temporary partner, she’s obviously going to feel pretty happy.

3. Love should come before anything else, such as sex, if that’s what you mean. (I’m not 100% sure what you mean by “main condition).

4. Love means something different for everybody, and there are many different kinds. Love can be for a hobby, your passion, your family, friends, the world, life, etc. That is just having a positive outlook on the things that make you happy, and having a sense of appreciation. If everyone had this, the world would be a much better place.

Romantic love on the other hand is the feeling that no matter what, you’ll always have someone to count on and someone to support you. It’s a beautiful thing when it’s mutual and when it’s real. It should never hurt you or make you cry your eyes out, or leave you wondering about something. It is a warm feeling you get inside that stays there unconditionally, like a fire that never burns out. You can completely be yourself around someone during the good times and bad. Being apart yet you still feel the deep connection you have with that person. It’s the one thing that connects us. Love is when you can’t fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams. It is an indescribable feeling that words fail to entirely explain- one cannot define it. The most beautiful emotion in all of the universe.
