Justin Bieber was candid about his relationship with Selena Gomez in the new issue of Complex Magazine, calling their union "a marriage, we were so in love!"
"We were so in love," the singer said to Complex Magazine for its new cover story.
"Nothing else mattered. We were all about each other. But when it's like that and you get your value from that, people will always disappoint you. Your girl or your dude, they're always going to disappoint you. Your full identity can't be in that person. My identity was in her. Her identity was in me," he explained.
Bieber was asked by the magazine what he learned from his time with Gomez, 23.
"Don't fall in love," he said. "No, I'm just kidding. I learned a lot. I moved in with my girlfriend when I was 18. Started my own life with her. It was a marriage kind of thing. Living with a girl, it was just too much at that age."
"When stuff would happen, I would lose my freakin' mind, and she would lose her mind, and we would fight so hard because we were so invested in each other. Love is a choice. Love is not a feeling. People have made it seem in movies that it's this fairytale," he revealed.
Bieber also revealed that he was always competitive: in love, in his career and even when he lived in Canada as a young teen. He always felt he had to be the best at everything.
"Growing up, I literally got my identity through being good at stuff. I always wanted to be the best because I felt like that’s how I got my self-worth. It actually did me good in the long run because now I can go skateboard and have fun. I was the only person in my school who was skateboarding and on the basketball team," he revealed.
"I think that also got me in trouble when I was young, because people don’t like when people are good at stuff. They just hate on it, and that has a lot to do with my hate in general. You see a dude who’s successful and he’s doing what he loves and people don’t take too well to that sometimes," he revealed.
