I can't imagine anything worse than loving someone when that person doesn't feel the same for you. I think we all go trough this and it's such a hard situation In my case it took me quite a while to move on because at first he made me fall in love for him and made me think he feels the same and after that he simply dumped me without saying anything and later on he came back just to dump me again. you can imagine how bad I felt

I was in this kind of situation before. The guy made me fall in love. He was once a guy whom I really hate, then he told me that he sincerely liked me. Our relationship was one of my darkest relationship ever. He impregnated me and he leaves me and now he is nowhere to be found. It may be so sad that the one we love didn't loves us back, but then we have to let it go. It's a lesson for us. He may have hurt me in my past but He can't hurt me now.

I believe this not only happens in new relationships but also in those that have been long-term. I believe one person or the other may sometimes feel they have lost the feelings of love for their significant other. Sometimes they may choose to tell the person and end the relationship and other times they may just choose to search for someone on the side. This could be very hurtful.

That was a sad and painful experience love for you, but what you can do if that person you choose to love will not return or love you back. Forget about him and try someone new, meet other person. Love the person who will you back, he is not worth it and you don't deserve someone like him, if he dump you in a first one you should not let the second one again. That's give you another and second heartbreak. Now you still have time and to find someone who really deserve you and will love you back.

It is painful when you are not returned the love you yearned for. I have been in the same situation as you did and I know how it feels. We do still love them even if they returned thinking that there might be hope for change but what had happened previously would happen again. I tend to continue loving that person until it would not be logical to do so and at the moment, I still am. I would be waiting for that chance if given, to be with that person. Do no lose hope though but know your limits. Everyone has their breaking point.

They say that love is blind. This metaphor is suppose to be meant for people that are distanced in looks. I would like to apply this to your situation. Your love is blind in a way that you cannot see what is there. Your love covered up the fact that he did not feel the same as you. I would guess that there was times your mind stepped in and questioned his motives. Your love stepped in the way and again you were blind to the possibility of being hurt. Your love needs glasses so that it can see what is rather then be blind to you want it to be. When you are next in love step back and put those glasses on and allow your love to distance itself a bit before you let it take over. There is also a saying that is that love is the strongest force. Even the strongest force has its weakness and there is no reason to let that weakness take you over.

I do know how that feels. And I am pretty sure that most people went through this at some point. And maybe after time one person decides that they aren't compatible. Another thing that happens is down the road the feel they arent compatible with them. Usually one person love the other most. And then they end up feeling hurt and rejected by the other person. But the other person feels bad about breaking up with them and just doesn't know how to say it. I had a bf once for 5 years and when he told me that I wasnt about sh*t, was never about sh*t and never will be about sh*t it was time for me to leave and I did. Just be strong against letting him back into your life, because most likely he will just hurt you again.

That's true but I think we need to look in the side of the relationship. There might be a mistake in such feelings when the person offered us love or something else. I experience many troubles in my relationship that put me in severe depression because my partner did something which is against me, against the rule of law and eyes of God. But it's a matter of material that is why she made those mistakes.

I cant really imagine that you went back to someone that hurt you already and dumped you the first time. I dont think i could ever or would ever go back to one of my exes, i think its quit weird to go back to someone who has already made you feel bad of yourself and hurt you in your past. Sometimes in life you have to move on and get past struggles and if you have to do something to get away from him then do it and get your life on track. I do know how it feels to not be loved back i had a boyfriend who cheated on my 8 times and found out after we broke up and i would never go back to someone like that in my life again. I hope you find soemone and get things going for yourself and have a great day on mylot.

Wow, that is some piece of work of that man. I felt quite shame on him even I am a man myself too. Actually, not only you felt the same way, or experience the same. Myself, had fallen in love with this girl, and actually she didn't even love me a bit, and she just use me as a credit card, or debit card. You can imagine how hurt I was in financially, even in emotionally. Now, I am moving on, and also trying to forgive her. But actually on the forgiving part, it makes me hard to work on it now.

Yeah right. You should feel bad about it. But don't hold unto it too much dear. It's like holding a burning charcoal in your bare hands, the longer you hold it, the greater the pain you can fell. But for, i's nothing and it's the saddest part of it. He had dumped you once and twice, so never let him to it again for the third time because that makes your own fault already. You can find a better man out there who will love you and will not hurt you. God for sure has His reason why he let you feel this. Never make the same mistake you have done. Move and walk forward :)

Omg, just finish the worthless relationship altogether. HE-IS-NOT-WORTH-IT. You are better off finding yourself for the meantime, and letting the "right" one find you eventually. Just live your life to the fullest and it'll all go well in the end. Trust that God reserved someone right for you at some corner of the world, and you'll be alright in no time. :)

I'm sorry about this, I can imagine how this hurts. My daughter has an unshared love and she is so sad. But she had no chance to start anything, she only thinks about the boy and she suffers. I wish you to overcome soon this story and earn some useful lesson out of it.

I think many people like or love someone from a distance and there is no love back. Worser it is if you have a relationship with someone who doesn't love you (no matter if he/she thought he/she did love you at the start). It's such a waste of energy and it hurts a lot. I don't know if many people had this experience (I hope not). I know how it feels.. I was dumped pregnant as I was 17 years old. I grieved for 14 years. I hope you won't waste your life the way I did.

I think unrequited and un-returned love is one of the most difficult, painful things that life throws at us.

To be honest, I think it'd be really hard not to be loved back. You can talk about certain feelings for one another and when it turns out they aren't mutual it is really hard. But that's not the same case for love. I think you can only love someone when you know that person for a time and you know a lot about that person, things that make him or her love-able. I think after being with someone that often and getting along so well it's almost impossible for him or her not to love you back. Even though it might be a different kind of love. Your situation, as you described it, has to do with crushes and I feel your pain. It always suck so hard when you have to go trough something like this, especially if he gave you the feeling his feelings were mutual. I can't give better advice than to go on with your life but it's true. He's not worth you this way, keep your head up! You'll meet the guy!
