I think love becomes painful the moment you start teaching someone how to care about you, teaching them to communicate, teaching them to respect your feelings, teaching them to give effort, teaching them the bare minimum. Because care should be felt naturally.
You shouldn't have to beg someone to notice your silence, your hurt, or your absence. Yes, of course, people love differently, but there's a difference between different love and lack of care. The hardest part is realizing you kept explaining your needs
to someone who hurt you clearly the first time, but they just didn't value them enough to change
