Love Story Post 3

"You love him so much."

"No I don't"

"I just can't understand how things have gone so wrong between you two for so long." (144)

Throughout most most part of the book Hunter treats Erin like crap, and even though he treats her poorly, Erin still somehow finds love for him. She still has a hope that maybe, somehow there would be a way it could all work out. But when her room mate tells her that she can tell she still loves Huner, Erin denies it. She hasn't told anyone the full story about Hunter and because he treats her poorly she wont admit that she loves him. Erin is loving and forgiving even though Hunter doesn't deserve it, but how much longer can Erin truly be this generous? Will Hunter ever change?

At one point or another we all have had someone ask us about the person we love or like, and we all have denied it. I wonder why we deny things that we consider to be so meaningful in our lives. Why does Erin deny her love for Hunter when even her room mate can see it? Is it because she's ashamed of their history and what happened between them? Because he treats her badly and doesn't want him to find out about her feelings?

So many times in out lives we just forgive people so easily and move on, because it's easier than holding a grudge against someone. Even when people treat us bad some of us still find ways to forgive them, is that because we truly love the person we forgive or is it just fear of losing someone dear? Maybe we forgive people for the wrong reasons, instead of because we love them and they are truly sorry but because we are scared to lose them. But sometimes when you keep forgiving someone even if it's for the right reason we keep forgiving so many times, they take advantage of you and think that they can do anything and it's okay because you will just forgive them. Maybe Hunter knows that Erin will always love him and he takes advantage of that.
