Love vs Infatuation

Dear Del,

how do you knowwhen it’s love and how can you tell when infatuaion ends and love begins

Dear Kathy,

Well, that’s a really big question!  I believe that one of the best definitions of love I have ever heard is “When you love the person and think of them as much as you love yourself”.  Infactuation is usually physical and can last a long time, but when the physical cools down and you’re still together because of all the other traits in each other that you care for, it is probably love.  Remember, love lasts, infatuation does not (by definition).  Even love often doesn’t last. Look at all the divorce statistics.

Sincerely,

Del
