Is it normal to be afraid of love?

I love my boyfriend way too much, I wish I loved him less. I'm afraid of being so in love because I know it is quite possible that sometime in the future we won't be together anymore. Sometimes I consider breaking up with him because I love him so much but I know that is counter productive. I don't know, I'm just really afraid of getting hurt. Sometimes I think I'd rather have my heart physically torn out than to be in love.

    Yes, it's normal to feel that way. But if you love him, and he loves you, don't break up just because you're scared.

    Yes it is normal in my opinion... Ive been there.. And I know how you feel... Its like, you have SO much love for him, youd give anything and everything just so he'd be happy... And you feel like, maybe, he doesnt love you as much... Just maybe. And it is killing you slowly...

    Please... Remember, even if I know it is hard, you must come first... You must not forget about YOUR happiness and YOUR goals... Because this is whats gonna hurt the most when youll realise you gave up everything for his love...for just one more minute by his side...

    I think that it is totally normal but you should not be so afraid, if you have no reason to be worried that your relationship is going to end then you should just be happy. enjoy it, we know that nothing lasts forever but if you break up you will suffer anyway, don't regret what you do, regret what you haven't done, you are happy with him just enjoy it, if it ends you will have the memories of knowing you lived it, please be happy C:

    Sure its normal to be afraid of it but you've got someone you like already, quite a bit it seems. Logically, ending a relationship because you like him too much and don't want to get hurt IS counter productive. If your boyfriend loves you as much as you love him then you're insanely lucky. I WISH I was in your shoes. People risk getting hurt for the chance of something greater so what you've got going on should be kept, I'd say.
