Respect or Love?

[Anushik]

Hey everybody !!!
During all my life I heard from my mom that "respect is more important than love". I didn’t agree with that statement long time. But I think I came to the conclusion that she was right!
I would like to know your opinion. What do you think about this? Would you rather like that someone love you or respect you?

Why can't it be both? Love can be grown out of respect and I doubt there is any way you can really, truly, deeply love someone unless you respect them as they should be respected...

Agreed, this is a simple thing.. i dont see an issue in loving and tht love growing by the respect you have for whomever..

I agree both of you... the true love for me is love whith respect... but the question is whould you like someone to really respect you or to love? Someone can love you just because you are a really kind persone, but he/she can not respeact you, can not respect your opinion and not ask for advice... and vice a versa, someone can respect you because of your knowledge, but not love you (even worse, hate you)... So, this is my question, which one do you prefer?

I see, umm in that case i would want again for that person to both love me, and respect me, which will enable that love to grow.. i dont think we can differ and seperate the two and still expect each (love and respect) to be fulfilled in its fullest.. or atleast attempt too LOL/.. so, for me it would still be a drive for both..

You cant have love without respect. It just doesnt work.

I guess I do not agree with you... I know the family which had love when they got married (they called it like that, at least), but after some time they started to fight without any reason… they didn’t have any respect for each other, each of them thought that he/she is the smartest one and didn’t even listen to each other…
As I understood you think that you can respect someone without loving, but you can not love without respecting (these are different statements for me)…
What about me, I would like someone respect me but not love me, rather than someone love without respecting.
What do you think about all these celebrities? Do you think that what they call love is a “real love with respect”? I do not think so…

No, sweetie. I said I believe you cannot love someone if you dont repect them.

I’m not talking about someone specifically… I’m talking in general. Yeh, I want that person (boyfriend, husband) both love me and respect me too… but this is not about that. The question is “in general……..”…
It’s not possible that everyone both loves you and respects you…

I'm sorry I needed to write vice a versa… But the mining of my message didn’t change from that…
