'I love you because I need you' vs 'I need you because I love you' #1 (permalink) Mon Apr 21, 2008 12:19 pm   'I love you because I need you' vs 'I need you because I love you'
 

There`s something I really want to know about...

I`ve heard this line several times already especially in movies...When someone asks about how do you feel toward them by giving out this kind of question, what would you choose?

a. I love you because I need you
b. I need you because I love you


please let me know your views and tell me the difference between the two.

.
Both are grammatically correct and commonly used. That is all I am prepared to say.

They just show two diferrent characters,attitudes towards each other,I think there isn't more difference between them.
