it's SO easy for us to slip into idolatry. 
i made an idol of my children for far too long, and struggle with the same with my husband, God help me.
(hush, noname! lol)
anytime a good thing becomes an ultimate thing (i MUST have it), there we are. where's melita to tell us the struggle is real?

I do not think it is idolatry, at all.

Not exactly,a person can indeed love someone romantically but let them go for a reason you may still love the person romantically afterward but sometimes it's just what is best for example,one of my cousins and deacons of my family church loved a woman so much that he blinded himself to that she was abusive physically and mentally to him and others,that eventually though it pained him he left her and still cared for her romantically yet knew he could not be with her anymore,love is not always "not letting go" love is also about knowing when leaving your the one you love romantically is best,now granted there can be an undieing love for those who find that special someone that they can be with and walk together with alongside God,but it isn't always your first love in life as far as romantically that is your forever love,and love can be joyful and hurtful,but alongside God we can find whom may be our romantic love for life.
Not sure this is true.
Love is love, and Jesus is the foundation.
For some love is not freely giving and receiving but co-dependency where the boundaries
between the parties are not clear.
For me Jesus shows us what love is and how it works, which is how we can love others
and not get taken over by them or manipulated.

Well said, and something I was thinking about just today.
He or she can be the love of your life, and rightly so, but if you start putting the person on a pedestal you are in for a big disappointment. With all the love in the world, if you start holding your spouse as better than anybody else you are going to be let down. There will come a time when your spouse just can not be there for you, a time when you get mad at your spouse or a time when you just cannot understand why your spouse has such a wrong opinion about an issue, and in your mind that person will fall HARD off that pedestal.
