I am a hopeless romantic. :) I always wanted topics about love & relationship. Here is another question that popped out of my mind. Will you still stay in a relationship even if it is only you who remains in-love? What if your partner no longer in-love with you & just staying for the sake of his personal intentions?

I would not stay cause if i was the only one that was putting love into the family i would end up leaving.. I don't believe in that it takes to have a marriage... I think that is horrible that he would just think about his self like that... I would respect that and i would leave... Thats isn't a very good way to live.... Just ask my ex boyfriend.. I fell out of love with him and he still loved me and we would just fight and fight and fight cause he wouldn't let me out of the relationship.. I thin it is different for guy when the girl falls out of love with them.... Now when the guy falls out of love the guys just wants to leave...

NO,you don't know a real guy who has been in love with a girl for many years.It's the love the guy do not want to lose most.

I agree pixiedust i just couldn't live with someone that didn't love me back i would feel so lonely and left out and i would be depriving myself of a chance to be with someone who truly loves me so i definitely think its better to leave in a situation like that.

Maybe for a while I will, cause when you love someone you are blinded with your feelings and emotionns, you don't know what is right or wrong,as long as your in love with the person. Their is a quote that says it's better to be feeling love then not feeling it. But if that person won't learned to love me yet, well I won't insist myself, not because I'm letting it go it doesn't mean I don't love him, it's just I deserve a better one. Well if my partner just not love me anymore it's just for the sake of her personal intentions, i rather let her learned life on his on, cause I also have a life on my own. Love is a two way street to work out. Anyway you can feel it if that person doesn't love you anymore their will be a lot of changes.Happiness and love can't be bought by material things. I rather love someone who will also love me for what I am. Have a nice day!

Your love is of different kind. You must be so in-love.

I would have to leave the relationship if he didn't love me back. It should be a love that is shared and not one sided. Besides part of being in love is wanting the other person to be happy. So I would have to let him go so he could be happy.

I agree with you. Both parties should be happy in a relationship.

I couldn't stay if it was only one-sided. It would be heartbreaking to know that I was giving myself to someone who didn't love me back. That wouldn't be love it would be torture. I deserve better than that and I respect myself too much.

Yes, everyone deserves to be love back by the person they are giving their love to.

LOVE?I think it mutual.IF you have found the other aspect has losen patience.May be you had done something not good. If so,it's not a big problem.Try your best to save your love,try to take good care of your partner, tell him you still love him by your practical action.I think you will succeed! But if you failed,DROP !DROP!DROP!Don't grudge your love,I think you will meet a better man,lead a happy life! MAY YOU HAPPY IN THE END!

Taking care of your partner is part of being in love. But if your partner stops loving you, your care will be of no value to him.

I don't feel it would be a good situation to stay if only one person is in love because eventually both will become miserable. If I knew someone no longer loved me I would leave because in the long run it would make life better for me. If you remain in a relationship where you are not loved you could be missing out on a great opportunity to actually be loved dearly by someone else.

I love my fiance with all of my heart and if he didn't love me back I couldn't be with him. There is no point being in a relationship when the love is only one sided. If he didn't love me I would want him to go and find someone that he could love. That doesn't mean that I wouldn't love him still. But I want him to be happy in life.

If it is only me who remains in-love I won't still stay in a relationship.I'll say good-bye to him.Love is not for one but between two.We can't go on if he no longer in-love with me.That is to say he is too selffish.So move away from him and find a new partner.

Love should be shared by two.

If my boyfriend did not love me like I love him I could not be with him. I want good mutual love that my partner and I can share with each other, if only one person has love for the other, then it just doesn't seem fair and it's too sad. If my partner was only with me for personal intentions I believe that I would notice it right away, it's easy to tell if someone is in love with you or not. I'm very glad that my relationship is very loving and good, I am so thankful for it each day!

Mutual love, respect & understanding makes a relationship stays longer.

It matters to me that I love the person but I cannot be with someone who doesn't love me.Martyrdom is not easy.I'm sure most people would not want to be made miserable each day by the fact that they are not loved by their partner.Women who are highly tolerant are inclined to believe that they are up to the task of a one-sided relationship.This causes so much grief and trauma.It is lots better to part ways than not to have mutual love.

I am in a typical situation like that. Thank you for raising it. As you asking the decision of staying or not staying is depend on individual. And since you said we love our partner and she doesnt. Love and caring is our personal happiness thou' we are not getting still we are showing the same to our loved person. My take is to stay with the love till he loves us. orelse what todo get a single happiness being love your partner.

hi..in my opinion, i think relationship is where both of the persons need to be involve..if one way love happen in relation which mean only one side love another side..i don't think this relationship can be maintain and remain..if my partner not longer love me,maybe i will try my best to help him love me back using my love towards him..however,if this fail after a moment,i think i will give up this relationship..because i believe that there will be a better relationship waiting me somewhere..

Many people come together in passion which develops into love, affection and when the children come duty and responsibility as well. Love is one aspect of the complex range of things that holds relationship together. Without love - is there hate? I wonder. I know I will not stay in my relationship if there is hate. In my case we have 3 kids together and we have loads of love, respect and delight in each other. But hypothetically if for some reason I am the only person holding the torch of love, I will keep it going - because I am confident that it will come alright in due course. Cheers.

I will not stay in a relationship if I am the only one who is feeling love. That is useless. I wouldn't force myself on anyone, I will set him free so that we can both move on. A relationship with out love is like a prison cell and it is choking you everyday.

Well, I'll definitely let go the relationship in that case. I will not allow myself to get hurt by unrequited love. One should know if love is truly gone, and if its lust that remains, its time to let go.

This is a very tough one. I can visualize two scenarios here. The first, if I were in love with a woman and she does not love me back and we are not married, I could easily speak to her and discuss about separating. There is absolutely no reason why you would push yourself to her if she does not love you anymore. However, if we were married and have kids. I could endure the situation for the children's sake. I would not want them to grow up with only a mother or father.
