This will be a bitter pill to swallow for many people, but love has nothing to do with relationships. Whereas relationships are the medium through which value is transacted and, therefore, require rules, definitions, and compromises in order to "do business" love is royally indifferent to all of these things and expects nothing in return. This is because relationships are about getting what you want, while love is a passage into a higher form of life through the gateway of the humiliated self. And since love only wants what is best for the other without care of its own selfinterest love can only justifiably want a relationship if that relationship were in the best interests of the other...which it probably isn't.
