If LOVE is freely given then it should also be freely taken back at any moment based on the actions, deeds, thoughts, ect of the person to whom the love was given.

I disagree. Humans can’t just turn their emotions off as if they were flipping a switch. If it were that easy then you wouldn’t have people staying with abusive partners for so long or you wouldn’t have people crying over a relationship that has recently failed. For example, if your partner cheats on you, you are going to be upset and probably end the relationship. You recognise that the relationship needed to end because of the betrayal, you’re upset about it because you still love them. Nobody in a serious relationship that has failed just moves on no big deal, it takes time to rid yourself of those feeling of love for the other person.

I didn’t say that the love doesn’t exist anymore. But it’s mine to give and it’s mine to take back. It might still exist in that I have feelings for the offending party, but just because it exists doesn’t mean that you get to have it.
