“Loving someone is beautiful and wonderful but relationships are lots of work; it is important to take care of our love, by nurturing it, being good to it, and never abusing it. Love is not supposed to hurt. Perhaps that is why divorce hurts so much. It has often been said that hate is the closest feeling to love – hate can sometimes happen when the hurt is deep. Two people who once loved don’t always just stop loving – they stop working at it, so the hate creeps in. That is often when the bully comes out.”
