Have you ever loved somebody so much that you gave zero consideration to desiring anyone else, even in passing? (lemmy.ml)

If you still desired others it wasn't #truelove IMHO but I understand this has become controversial in some circles.

I think this is the closets answer to my view on this topic. To me desire and love are separate. You can desire other people. That is just sexual attraction. But love is being honest with your partner and not acting in any way that would betray that relationship with your partner.
