An example if you control your partner's decision on what job to take, what things to eat, what to wear, etc., because they "care". Sometimes that's okay but if it gets to the point of being overbearing or suffocating I think it's no longer love.

Sometimes people who care, their "love" will easily fall out if that other person ceases to comply.

It's a pretty confusing and huge topic with a lot of perspectives I guess.

Very true...and I love your quote about being in the mystery ;)
