Love is tricky, and I am so confused by it also. I guess there is like different degrees of love.
New infatuation love = Where you really don't know them well enough but what you do know makes you feel all goofy inside.
Compassion love = where you see something in an individual that strikes your compassion and you want to reach out to them.
Passion love = an arousal type of love associated with lust.
Committed love = when you have vowed to be by the side of a said loved one forever no matter what........unless things get to the point that you are so unhappy and have reached the end of the love knot and the love once shared is beyond mending.
At this point, there are choices to be made such as:
We have stuck it out this long maybe we should just do nothing and exist out of convenience and comfortable familiarity.
Or
I don't want to live like a ghostly existence any longer. Either we work hard to get past this or we move on in separate directions.
Either way, it's all very painful and changes are often intimidating and frightening.
Sorry if this just makes it worse for you.

lol! She asked about falling in love, and then all the sudden it turned into a post about divorcing. Now, now, don't hurry too much now...
I know that I'm in love when I think about the person all the time, feel this incredible happiness when I think about him, want to be with him and near him, want to know more about him as a person, can't keep my eyes off of him when I see him... That kind of thing.
Love is, always wanting to be together, leaving each other little notes when you are apart, being involved in each other's interest's, lying in each others arms all night just talking, constant yearning for each other, missing football on TV just to be with her, taking her out for a meal, instead of going on a pub crawl with your mates, now that is what i call love.
