If you truly love someone, you don't want to possess them and hold on to them and own them. You want them to be free to do what makes them happy. And clearly this needs to go both ways because you can't have a successful relationship if one person is in love and the other person is in attachment. Because then you have an abusive or dysfunctional or codependent relationship or dependent relationship. So don't be hard on yourself if you find that you're in attachment and not love
Love is about nurturing a connection based on trust, empathy and shared values. Attachment is materialistic. It can be positive and controlling. You are so right. Thanks for always sharing these important aspect of life, Laura. Keep sharing
