Love is Taking Responsibility for your partner, irrespective of circumstances. it's very similar to what we usually do with our family.
By the way, I still don't know how to respond when she asks me, Why do you love me so much?
I’m wondering about attachment and transference with the therapist and the idea of escape and fantasy? How much do you think your strong feelings, constant thoughts, desires to be with your therapist are a way to escape from your present life? I wonder if the transference serves another purpose than to show us our wounds and/or past experiences, but is a present coping strategy for managing what we don’t want to face (even if unconsciously) in the present—-current relationships, life circumstances, etc. Can anyone relate to this concept of escape in relation to their therapy relationship? How does this play out for you?

For me, love is taking care of your partner's happiness, giving her comfort, helping in her career, and staying with her in thick and thin.
