Does Love have Boundaries?

I've often wondered exactly where the boundaries are with love.Is there a limit to how much a person can take before they call quits on a relationship?Or, is love so strong, and so tight, that it will allow your boundaries to widen, to broaden, and to thicken along the way?

Where are the limits to love?Is it a person who has a liar for a partner? Would she continue to come up with excuses to guard herself? Would those excuses be legitimate? Would there be any truth to the lies, though in her heart, she knew there wasn't? What if there were truths to the lies and you called it quits before you knew the truth? Whose fault would it be that the relationship was over, that you killed love over something that could have been avoided?

What if a partner cheated? Would that be the final straw, the final toss to the love?Or, would it make you more desperate to hang on? Would you, could you, make a total fool out of yourself to keep that love? Would the love be worth it in the long run? Could you ever trust again?

Does love bite at a certain age? What is too young to feel it's sting, to feel it's uncontrollable hold?I sure don't have all the answers, but I know I've felt that death grip at a very young age, and although most of those desperations finally subsided, I'm more than sure I made an ass of myself along the way. LOL...and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

How do you stop someone else from making those mistakes? How in God's name do you assure them life will go on, that the world will not tilt into a tailspin, that no matter what, things will get better?

When a heart is breaking, when the desperation takes over and consumes them, how do you make them see anything past Love?
Where are the boundaries?
Do they really exist?
