Should you ever have to PROVE your love to someone?

Question

Is there ANY situation that warrants having to PROVE to someone you love them? The sad part is I wasn't the one who was wrong but I thought maybe she doesn't know how much I love her. But even after my sincerest apologies, though we both know she is the guilty party, what else is there really left for me to do? I feel like as soon as I give up she'll say, "See, you didn't really love me anyway..."

Answer 1

This is the story of my life but soon realized you can't make someone love you. Either they feel it or they don't.

When someone's ask you to prove how much you love them, they are simply very insecure people. Love cannot be proven, it is simply manifested in your word and action

Answer 2

Well I think if you love someone you not only say it but do things to show it... As for proving it I think if a person cheats that they would have to prove their love by gaining back trust...

Answer 3

Dont ever "prove your love" I went through the same with my ex. she said i had to "prove my love" and i was like how? and she was like "well there is this ring i want.... and ummm roses." dont do it bro. its an excuse for a chick to take a break and get rewards out of it.

Love doesn't need to be proven in any weird exotic way. You 'prove' your love everyday by respecting and cherishing your partner, taking care of them when they are sick, helping them in troubles, doing little things they love and that make them smile. You don't give any info on your situation, I can't comment on that. Maybe she is a drama queen if she asks you to prove your love all the time.

Answer 5

she's just being manipulative. you shouldn't have to 'prove' your love to anyone IF the feeling is mutual. it sounds like whatever she is guilty for doesn't matter to her. especially if you are the one apologizing. i suggest moving on.

Answer 6

Oh, that's just the most obnoxious thing. See, I feel that if you honestly tell someone you love them, and they don't believe you, there's no way they can love you, not really. Love is based on trust. If you can't trust someone, you can't love them.

It's just like "WHY WON'T YOU BELIEVE ME?!"

I've gone through that. And I'm not even a guy.

Answer 7

I used to make my partner prove he loved me.  The sad part was that no matter what he did, it was never enough.  That's because it wasn't really about him or his love for me.  It was about me and my low self-esteem.  I didn't feel lovable so I didn't trust that he really loved me.  I almost lost him over this behavior.  Fortunately, I realized what I was doing and stopped it.  We're married now and things are great.  I still struggle occasionally though.

I'd advise you to just understand that it's really not about you or your love for your partner.  Be patient!  Read this book: The Five Love Languages.  Get your partner to read it too.  It will help you to express your love in a way that it will be most received.

Good luck!

Answer 8

if shes in the wrong then no u should be making her prove that she loves you not the other way round dont be walked all over its the worst thing ye can do

Answer 9

You prove it every day actually with your actions. I don't think saying you love someone is enough. People say it all the time and say differently with their actions. So I guess it would just depend on what you mean by proving it if you mean jumping of a bridge than NO. If you mean treating some one good, helping relieve some of that persons workload like helping around the house sometimes, taking them out, serving breakfast in bed on a birthday, buying an occasional flower or box of chocolates and stuff like that then my answer is YES.

Answer 10

It's a female thing.  Would very much doubt any man (well, any man over 21) would even think to ask for proof of love.
