Has this situation happened to you? Are you optimistic enough that you will be able to fight the love you feel for him or her even though you think that you cannot be together in the future? Personally, if this situation happens to me, I think I will no longer pursue it. Simply because I know we could never be together and I will just felt hurt if I will still continue this love. How about you? What if this situation has happened to you, will you still pursue to love someone even though you know you just cannot be together?

Yeah. it happens to me now... but it matters not really.. what matters is that I love her so much that I would risk all, ,even my happiness for her happiness...

primarily, if I would be able to face that hardship..Maybe I should continue loving him because I believe that if you love someone, you are not suppose to be greedy, and if you really love him, if his happy and it would be enough for you to see that his happy with his life evn if you are not the reason...

Yes, you're right. Sometimes love shouldn't be too greedy. As long as the person we love is happy being with another person, then we're are also happy for him or her. But I think it is really hurtful, what you think? Have a great day!

It would be better if one would simply focus their attention to another person, since loving a person which is not loving you in return is one of the most foolish thing one'll do for the rest of their lives. A relationship is supposed to be a two-way street, both have to give and take as well.

That's true. We should also considered the risk of pursuing your attention to a person whom you think will not love you forever. I am pretty sure, it will be a steep and traumatic price to pay for a relationship that will go no where. We have to spare our time to a person whom we think will really love us and that there is really an assurance that the relationship will really last long for lifetime.

No, I will not pursue it. There are lots of other fishes in the sea and I'm not going to spend my life pursuing something I can't have. IF he's really meant to be with me, maybe someday we'll end up being together, but for the time being, I'll try to forget about him and move on. :-)))

I have experienced that... But I never had the feeling of regret or something bad... I just have to accept it though it really hurts but I believe, time heals and I always say to myself that there's much better ahead rather than this one. :)

I like the way you express your thoughts. Yes, there is still much better and much deserving for your love. It is really a waste of time to pursue to love someone, well in fact, he or she doesn't really like you in the first place. Take care you always!

Yes you're right...because may be we'll just end up hurting them

Having to love someone does not actually mean that you guys be together. I've been on a similar occassion. But the love that I made with someone and fought for became a futile thing. I've fallen in love to someone else, but I was already on a relationship. I've tried to do my best to pursue that love but never came to materialize. I still love that person although Im right now continuing my relationship with my long time partner. I know that she is also still.

It is hard to fall in love to another person especially if you were already commited with someone else. I think you've made the right decision to continue your relationship with your long time partner. Have a great day!

Yes i am currently going through such a situation.i dont say it would end up exactly the same way as you said but has a higher probability.i love a girl who belongs to an orthodox family.we are in stong affair ,but the problem is our castes are different and her family would in no way agree to this relationship.even she says she cant go against her parents.the biggest thing is she says she cant live without me.now you can see the paradox in all these situations and can imagine how would i be feeling in sucha situation.i am really having one of the worst times of my life.hope the things would finally turn well for me.

I hope you can surpass this situation of yours. I know it is hard to go through in a relationship especially if the family of the person you loved don't accept you. Everything is possible if you just believe in yourself and I advised you to be positive and don't give up. In your situation, both the two of you are in loved with each other, so I think there is a posibility that the relationship will work out. Have a great day!

For me I have given up on love and meeting someone and I don't really want to I always fall for the wrong people anyhow. I have fallen in love with people in the past and had infatuations but they were just lust, nothing more and they were wrong for me and to be honest I am not Leonardo Di Caprio and just plain looking so I know even if I did fancy someone they would never fancy me, which is not a problem for me now.

Thanks wolfie for sharing your experience. I know it's hard to fall in love to a wrong person. I know there will still be a person that will truly and faithfully love you.:-)

look this situation has never happened from my side as i can say.But someone felt so as he once told me. I was not at all attracted to him. But he proposed and then told that he has real feelings for me.He even persuded me. But i think i never would feel that way for him.

I believe it is hard to fall in love to a person especially if you're not in love with him or her. So I think you've just made the right decision and it is normal for us to reject a person, but I believe it is hurtful on the part of the person whom you rejected with. Have a great day!

This happened to me once, though I wasn't in love, but I did think the guy was cute and I was interested in getting to know him (he was a neighbor of mine that I already knew, by name). Apparently though he was not interested in me, but rather my best friend from 1st grade. She had come up to visit when we were teenagers and the boy I liked, liked her instead. She also liked him. Knowing all this, I lost interest in this guy quickly. It was not worth it to me to try and pursue someone that liked someone else.

Thanks sacmom for sharing your experience. I agree with you. It's not worth it to still pursue to love someone whom you think doesn't really like you at all. Fortunately, you did not really fall in love with him, so it's less pain on your part. Have a nice day!

Yes, I dated a man for 6 years even tho I knew the relationship could only go so far. He did not want kids or any part of them. At the time,l was single and did not want to involve my kids with anyone and so it was perfect. I went into it knowing it wouldn't last forever but determined to cherish each moment that it did. I did not expect it to even last as long as it did. Yes, I was sad when it ended but it was worth every bit of it. We are still good friends and I would not trade a moment of it. He was well worth my tears.

Good to hear that your're still positive despite that the relationship had only lasted for the time being. At least, the happy moments that you've experienced and shared with him are worth it. Good that both of you were still good friends. Have a nice day and take care!

i think the feeling would still be there and i would still continue loving the person in my heart until it fades. but to pursue knowing the odds, i think is quite stubborn.

That's true. It is stubborn to still continue as far as this situation is concerned. I think we can love them but not to the point of loving them for being a lifetime partner, instead as a close friend of yours.

As for me ,i will fight utmost to change the situation ,but if things don't allow,i will stop pursueing and love him in my heart and keep his good image in my mind.Because when two persons get together ,they will expose their minus to each other and u have to change his image and try u best to love the new one.So why not keep the best image in your mind and leave a good memory for the rest of your life?

I agree with you. We should keep the best image in our mind, at least this will serve as an inspiration and encouragement for us to love a new one and for us to move forward in our life. Have a nice day and take care you always!

U know that the end is so doom. Love that will only just like a dream. It only just can make both of you hurt. so you should try to limite yourself. It will be hard to stop in a sudden so take some time to stay a part from each other so you will be able to stop little by little...
• Philippines

I believe that we should always have a limitation in all circumstances. You're right that in order to heal the pain and hurt that we feel, we should stop it little by little, slowly but surely. Take care!

I think sometimes the matter of the heart can not be controlled and sometimes when you have a strong feeling for someone it is like the will to live the body just takes over and I think it is especially so for a woman if she loves someone with such a passion sometimes they just love in silence if they can not be together...
• Philippines
16 Nov 07
You're right. Our heart cannot be controlled especially if we're really in love with that person. I think the best way here is to accept the fact that you cannot be together, but there is nothing wrong to love them silently until it fades.

Hi braveheart! If I will be in that kind of situation, I don't think I will pursue the person or be stubborn that we will have a future together. I think I will just be making myself more vulnerable to being hurt. of course, it will be difficult to stop myself from loving him because how can you really stop the feeling when it seems the heart has a mind of its own? nevertheless, I guess I am not the kind of person who can risk everything if I know it will never really work out. Take care and have a nice day. :)

Yes, you're absolutely right. I really agree that the heart has a mind of its own. I just remember the song of Christian Bautista, titled with that, and I really love the lyrics and the melody of the song. Have a nice day!

Well , love and cough can not be hidden. Several times I just consider giving up. But you know it's so hard for me. I don't know what to do, she will never love me, she will never get together with me. But I just want to stand by her, keeping her strong. I just want to company her, protect her and comfort.
