Frequently Asked Questions

Is love a pain?

Love is not painful but challenging. It pushes you out of your comfort zone and demands transformation, which is challenging for many. However, if you feel your relationship is all about pain and misery, there must be some other factors causing them. Because love itself doesn’t hurt – expectations, issues, disagreements, and attachment may hurt.

What do you do when the person you love hurts you?

The first thing to do is assess your safety and understand the nature of the relationship – whether it is healthy or abusive. If it is abusive, reach out to your support system for help. If it is a healthy relationship and you otherwise feel safe with your partner, the first thing to do is to sit with what you are feeling—all the hurt and the pain—without disowning the negative emotions. Express them to the person who has hurt you without resorting to blame. In most cases, that may help resolve the conflict and pain. If that does not help, or resolution is not an option, you can make time for self-care and do the things that help you heal from the hurt and move on.

What hurts the most in love?

Love hurts the most when it leads to heartbreak, rejection, one-sidedness, or betrayal.

Why do I feel hurt in love?

Feeling hurt in love can be caused by various factors, like rejection, unmet needs and desires, cheating, or communication issues.

What is a sad love?

Sad love may be described as a difficult experience that has been painful for you to overcome and is accompanied by grief and loss.

Why does deep love hurt?

Deep love can hurt because it requires you to be vulnerable, show all your flaws and imperfections, and face your traumas and fears, along with the risk of being hurt.

When love feels empty?

Love can feel empty when it has lost its initial spark, if it lacks an emotional connection, or when it’s one-sided.

How can I cope with the emotional pain of love?

Heartbreaks can feel tormenting and cause intense emotional pain. Accept your feelings, reach out to your dear ones for comfort, and allow yourself the time to heal completely to cope with the emotional pain. Invest time in self-enriching activities and involve yourself in things that you love doing to overcome the pain. You may also consult a therapist if the situation feels unbearable.
