By that definition, a person who gave up family, career, and dreams to move across the world and be with their partner would be deeply in love. Yet I've heard that advised against more often than for, for the sake of the person's mental health. One example: students are usually told to go to college where they want even if it means leaving a bf/gf at home and possibly destroying the relationship. If love is the state where your entire existence and everything you've worked towards has less value to you than your partner, is that really a good thing? How long can a person exist only for the sake of another?
