What is not good in 'love'?

I was listening to the radio on my way to buy some grocery, after the roadshow today. I did not actually listen to the whole conversation started by the DJ, however, his question posted above as my title grabbed my attention. So, "What is not good in love", I asked myself...

Perhaps, in the initial stages of love, everything seems alright, and that you can make do and live with anything that comes your away. As the feeling starts to 'normalise', you start thinking, "Why did I put up with these behavious?".

I guess, for me, things that are not good while you are in love are (thinking out loud):

• The craving for 'constant' or almost need for attention all the time. The need to be the centre of someone's universe, and to feel as if you are important. This often gives the 'person' wrong impressions that THEY are IMPORTANT, whereas they are as important to others as they treat others. As the saying goes, what goes round, comes round - the promise of life!

• Blindness towards your partners imperfections. Though this may be cute and endearing at the beginning, but its always the little things that really bugs you. However, when you voice out your concerns regarding little annoying habits earlier on the realtionship, 'love' gets in the way and tells you, 'its ok. let him be!"

• Their opinions. I guess, some do sort out the rotten apples before they commit to a relationship. However, some apples do not appear rotten till you get to the inner most core. And sometimes, when that happens, you wonder, "What will happen to me now? Swallow or spit?" (NO PUNS INTENDED!)

• Financial stability. When you are in love, and have no one to support but yourself, you are content with less. However, you tend to complain and see inadequacies with personal or joint funds with the bun in the oven.

• Getting to know the family. It is really awkward for me to know someone, more so getting to know your prospective 'family members' when it is essential to be on good terms with everyone. It is quite stressful - i imagine! This can sometimes lead to 'fake-ness' that may disappoint not just yourself but other parties as well.
  

Different people really do react differently to others and the qualities they are looking for in potential 'love' partners varies, making us different. What is NOT GOOD for me, perhaps may be tolerable to others, or perhaps "WHAT IS SHE TALKING ABOUT?" to another. Its all about perception and personal preference. After all, what makes love good is essentially communication between partners....
