Is the saying "love makes you blind" really that true?

Everyone starts at level one.
How I recognize bs is if it makes me feel uncomfortable.
I tell people how I feel more.
Like ”” is making me uncomfortable.
Anyone who dismisses that it out of my life.

On Fluther I PM members who I am upset with.
To let them know. As most of us aren’t psychic.

Those sounds more to me like cases of “codependency can get people to endure tons of crap”.

Did not think about codependency^ good point.

I would say that infatuation often makes you blind but long lasting love involves seeing the whole person.

I would say your examples are devoid of love.

That is why I feel nuts everytime I read these posts. How oblivious do you have to be to not realize your boyfriend not supporting you through an abortion is grounds to end it?

I think real love is rare to begin with. Real loves involves realizing a persons flaws and they recognize yours but they accept you for who you are, through and through. Can anyone be callous or seem uncaring at times. Absolutely. People think love involves being blind. Not true. I recognized my husbands flaws when we first dated but they were minor to who he really was and still is. He’s the type of guy who would give the shirt off his back to help someone else. And truly loyal, even to people who don’t deserve his loyalty.

Doesn’t mean he’s never a little selfish or naive at times. You weigh the good against the bad. The real problem is people believe love is something that sticks to you like glue, with no need to put any effort into it. Real love, requires you work at it everyday. Some people think you don’t need to work at it. You do. If not you start to take each other for granted.
I find in most partnerships (provided they weren’t a horrible match for each other to begin with or marrided for the wrong reasons) break up because they think loving someone means you can relax and just be selfish all the time. Usually one will try and do all the heavy lifting and the other will kick back loving the adoration. Till the one doing all the adoration gets fed up.
So to the outside world it looks like the adoring person is blind. Often they aren’t but keep trying hoping they can get things back to how the relationship started. What they are blind to is that it can’t work without both of them making an honest effort to make their relationship work. It especially is difficult during times of high stress.
So many every day life stresses can burden a relationship and it sometimes causes people to act out of shut themselves off instead of remembering that a true loving partnership shares the pain along with the good, so you can prop each other up.
Its hard judging a relationship by what one person says, since it involves two in the relationship.
