You know that feeling that you love a person so much but cannot mentally handle what all entails with it? Can relate. Being in a polyamorous relationship is so much more complicated (for me). What makes things more complicated is the fact that despite how strongly you want things to work out sometimes it's not healthy for you or them.
A lot of people when they hear "true love" most immediately conclude it's romantic and that's not entirely wrong. My personal view is that true love is learning what is right for you and the other person through respect. Granted, that respect isn't supposed to be irreverent, we all fuck up.
But true love forgives, forgets, learns and grows, even if that means breaking up. That applies to romantic relationships as much as platonic. That doesn't mean be fucking heartless and tear somebody a new asshole, it means talk your shit out and listen to what each other have to say. Truly listen. None of this selective hearing shit.
Understand we all have our own flaws, demons and traumas. It's not an excuse, it's an explanation. True love is knowing when you're not a right fit as either a friend or partner. That can change in time but nothing is set in stone.
In short, true love is nuanced.
