No difference.

Not sure "respect" is a goos substitute as you can respect a person's power (insert attribute here) but greatly dislike the same person.

No, because there's also all different types of love.

I fell out of love when I lost respect. It's quite possible it wasn't love in the first place only lust but whatever it was was left when I lost respect for him.

Seems to me you can't love someone you don't respect, but you can respect someone you don't love.

Well put!
