Love Vs In Love

I read something recently that sparked this topic. It basically said people in relationships whether its marriage or just dating especially women would use the line " I love him but im not in love with him " to justify cheating or basically anything they know they shouldnt be doing while in a relationship. This leaves me wondering what the different really is between loving someone and being in love with someone.I mean i know there is a difference i love my friends but im not in love with them whatever that means i just know it be really weird if i was or said i was in love with one of my friends. If you look up " in love " youll find alot of people say in love would be to almost focus your life around someone and to almost be over come with emotion for a person where as love itself is just a general fondness and appreciation for someone and someone you would probably go out fo your way to do something for but not someone you would plan your whole week around just to see them or sit there day dreaming about seeing them again. When you look at both of these definitions yes they are different however its not something that should make you feel ok with cheating....if you love someone even if your not in love you should still care about them and not want to do anything to hurt them and cheating is probably one of the worst things you could do to someone. Im not even quite sure why we feel the need to commit to someone in the first place i mean we are surround by friends family co workers and so on to keep us busy and to love and love us so why do we need to be in a relationship at all. Is it because we were raised with the idea that we are here to get married and find that special person, is it because we see it all around us from our parents and other family members, or is it because it really is the right thing to do and what we were made for meaning there is that one special person out there for all of us. All i know is that if you are willing to cheat on someone whether your in love with them or just love them you should just end it before you do because clearly that person is not the right person and you are not ready for a relationship so if you really care about that person like you think or say you do then do them a favor and end it.
