In her last post, our Guest Postwoman Raven Hanson wrote about love and relationships. But she wonders: Can you love someone too much? When does a relationship become excessive or one-sided?
LETTER OF THE DAY
YES, it is. If you love a person so much, you will be willing to do anything for the person to make him or her happy. When the person is happy, you will be happy as well.
If it is done the wrong way, then the relationship may become excessive or one-sided.
An excessive relationship occurs when one party is too anxious and feels really insecure.
A one-sided relationship occurs when only one party loves another party. It will lead one person doing things for the other person which the latter may find irritating.
In conclusion, in order to have a healthy relationship, there must be adequate trust and understanding between both parties. This will prevent jealousy and hatred from occurring.

OTHER LETTER HIGHLIGHTS
This depends on one's perspective of love. I define love as a bottomless pit of affection and desires, which is, at times, without due consideration of other factors.
If I can't give my all for someone, I do not consider myself to be truly in love. That definition of love may not be inherently healthy.
When someone is totally in love, he loses all sense of logic. He may become selfish to other people and situations. He may be a great lover but a terrible friend and son.
But this doesn't bode well for the health of his interpersonal relationships. Hence I believe that one must not lose his senses while in love.
I haven't loved anyone to the extent of losing my senses. For the sanity of everyone, I hope that never happens.

Love doesn't equate to suffering in silence, or going all out to please.
There is no such thing as loving someone too much. Spoiling someone too much and ruining the relationship has little to do with love itself, but rather the way we manage the relationship.
