'Love' doesn't mean the same thing to everyone. It's just a noise we make to try to relate to each other's inscrutable emotions. What we call 'love' is affected by our neural configuration, childhood experiences, first relationship, being cheated on, and so forth.
But it is possible that in 20 years you'll look back with the perspective of having been in a 10 year relationship and think that this wasn't real love. Who knows.
