50 Forbidden Love Quotes For The Romantic In You

These Forbidden Love quotes will be enjoyed by the romantic in you.

Forbidden love has long been written about, with the most famous story being Romeo and Juliet.

Forbidden love is a romantic relationship that others oppose, whether that is the family, society, or both.

People sometimes experience forbidden love simply by falling in love with someone that others do not think they should be with.

An unhealthy forbidden love is when the relationship is pursued simply because it is “taboo.”

Pursuing a relationship because it is taboo often leads to hurting yourself and others, as the adrenaline rush from the forbidden love does not last.

Also, there are sometimes good reasons for forbidden love, such as incest, which is not only forbidden in society but can create lasting issues with your family with children if the relationship results in a pregnancy.
