Re: I Love You, But I'm Not... timetobefree: Hmmm, I love my ex but am not in love with him.
He cheated on me. He killed the 'in love' part. But I still love him.
I guess for me, it's easiest to explain that I love him like I love my friends. He is a significant part of my past and who I am today. For that, I love him. I love him in that I only wish the best for him.
But I am not 'in love' with him. The romantic feelings are long gone.
Is that what it means? Love as caring for him, but not 'in love' as the romantic part.
And I don't think this means I am immature. In fact, I think it takes a lot of maturity to realize the difference between love and 'in love'.

Re: I Love You, But I'm Not... catherine: That's exactly what my ex said about me to someone in an email.
"Although I love her more than anything in the world, I am not in love with her, if that makes any sense."
It hurt like hell to read those words even after he had already left me. And if that wasn’t painful enough to read the first time, I ended up inflicting more pain upon myself when I dug it up just now so that I could quote it verbatim.
[quote"> Learning the meaning of the word 'but' can clarify your life. Everything which comes before the 'but' is sugar to make the medicine go down, everything which comes after is the medicine. Too often we hear both parts of the statement and end up confused.
"I love you, but I'm not in love with you" means "I am not in love with you." That is the message the speaker lacks the courage to say plainly. Whenever you hear "but", remember the second part is what they mean.
We tell people the word "but" should go off in their head like a gunshot. Pay close attention to what follows. It is the part which matters.
