Can you love someone who you think you're not meant for?

Heartbroken - I can't understand what I feel.

I feel so confused. I've been in this amazing relationship for all of 3 months, and then suddenly, out of nowhere, he just says that he thinks he's not meant for me. He says he's just being honest. He's so in love with me that his one great fear is losing me. I don't get it. I really don't get how you can love someone and think that you're not meant for them. It makes me think about everything in the relationship. It makes me doubt everything. It makes me doubt love.

I think you should just stay in the moment and don't worry about the future. It is impossible to predict who is meant for whom so just enjoy today. That is what I think.

You're right. But there will come a time when I have to think whether this relationship is worth it and going somewhere.

yeah, that's quite possible because when people especially women fall in love, they are blind. He is the whole world to her and his shortcoming is also considered cute. When a woman in love, at the beginning, she will not consider the result or even she knows how the story will end, she can not keep her from staying with him until the passion fades and her heart breaks.

I really don't get how you can love someone and think that you're not meant for them what is so hard to "get" about it though...I think that sort of mentality is too narrowminded for a lack of a better way of putting it... Take my case for example...I am married and I love my husband very much BUT he is NOT my soul mate and I am NOT IN love wiht him by any means.....I am very much in love with my soulmate but sadly can't have him in my life (long story) anymore...HOWEVER my husband and I are the best of friends...Are we meant for each other though?? NO not on an intimate. soulmate level...

But I'm talking about really being in love with someone rather than just loving them. Although it is pretty sad to hear about your situation. Yeah, it's pretty sad when life's circumstances doesn't let you be with the person you want to be with. Do you think you're just settling for second best?

that,s kinda weird but better stay in love with each other as of the moment. we never know what would happened to the future. If a man loves you, nothing can keep him away. Maybe, he's just that confuse. but everything's gonna be alright. he might apologize for the things he have said and realize that you're his true love.

Dear, i can totally understand your feeling, it was a breaker of hearts. First of all, you shall cheer up and being strong. Perhaps we could trust some guy, especially someone you don't understand, frankly speaking, i don't think that love really exists in our life, perhaps you shall focus on yourself and find a good person who really treat you very well. Take it easy, the sorrow will fade away gradually along with the time goes by.

I feel a little saddened from your reply. Why don't you believe in the existence of love? I think love exists. Maybe you just haven't completely fallen in love. Trust me, when you feel it, without a doubt you'll tell me that such a thing exists. Hang in there. But you're right, love might fade away as time goes by. That's what scares me sometimes. I think that a human being's heart is too easily dissuaded. Like one fight can change your whole perspective on a person. Love is still a choice. You either fight for what you feel, or wait for it to go away.

First of all, I think you shouldn't doubt about love anyway, just because one person hurt you. I agree his gave you a strange excuse, that's not nice. I also don't understand your case. There IS the possiblity that he is too afraid of losing you, but also maybe he feels he shouldn't be with you for a longer time, because that would only hurt you more in the future. If "afraid of losing one's love" is a problem, then there shouldn't be any loving relationship at all, or those relationships are all fake. That's not logical. So, I hope you can continue with life and don't lose heart for love. When the old is gone, the new would come soon. Hope you feel better soon! Happy with Mylot!

piatos and I think he is feeding you a line of bolgna in that he probably wants to be a player and has latched on to someone else, but he hasn't got the guts to' tell you the truth. So I think he is now just telling you what he thinks you want or will accept, if he thinks he can play around and still keep you he probably knows if he tells you the truth he will lose you. I would not want to play second fiddle to an unknown affair and would drop him like a hot potato.Dont doubt love, doubt your waffling boyfriend. give him the boot, you deserve much better.

LOL, your response made me laugh, but I have to say that you're wrong. He is most definitely not playing me like a fiddle, and if that we're to happen, I'd play him first. Cheating isn't really new to me, and I believe that it always takes one to know one.

For me that is just his excuse but something seems happened please investigate a little.

People are not always honest with themselves. Lots of people are living confused for a variety of reasons. One thing I do know. True love never leaves for long. Chemistry always brings true love home.This is one of the tests for true love. So relax and see what happens. If it doesn't work out and this relationship is the best you can imagine, know that your true love will be even better.

Thanks for the advice. It must be true love because the next day we talked it out, tears were shed, and now we're stronger than ever.

The thing is people always feel like they are in love with someone with a relationship starts out. And that is what both of you are probably feeling. Both of you probably don't love the other person and you guys probably aren't right for each other. At least he is being honest and thinking rationally instead of being in this irrational omg i just started a new relationship phase.

absolutly not.because i think the love must happen between two lovers,if i love a girl then i will show her my love,if she don't accept,then i will give up with no pity and pain because the love can't be forced.

not at all even if you force it at the end it feel bland and not sticking around it is really a waste of time..

love is the heart's language... when one's lips says "I Love You" you should answer with you hearts... once your hearts deny it... that means He lies that he loves you.... Learnt to use you heart from now...

hello, let me joint. I think he love you like someone love their idol, it is about feeling like when we love and want to our very good fruits at our garden, we love them very much so that we dont want to eat them, we only watching, admiring and perhaps grab them slowly, kiss and kiss them and no more. Like when we love our baby where we sometimes want to bite them with our teeth but we do not really bite actually. It is so nice love I think that he want a kind of heroes of angel or superstar take you and not himself because he wants you get more better lover compared to himself (I told you perhaps a kind of heroes or superman who will make you happier and give you more than he can). I can feel it, do you understand ?
