Can you fight for a love that you know from the start it wouldn't last?

I already did that. From the start I know it wouldn't work but still I entered in the relationship because I love him. The ending? I was hurt! Ofcourse! But then I accept that he is not for me, by the way from the start I know that he is not for me. He is not the right guy for me.

It sounds like you are trying to convence yourself that he's not for you and that's not necessarily what you actually believe. If you know he's not for you and all that, then you would just have fun with him until you both are done with each other.

Well I guess you've a learned the lesson there at one point and hopefully you wouldn't fall in the same situation again. I think what is important in there is the learning experience and the maturity that you've gained from that experience. it does not matter if you lose or won from that. The lesson is more valuable for you and it will make you even a better person and stronger one when an opportunity to love once again comes along your way. Don;t let that experience of your stop you from living again.

Yes. you're right! I've learned alot from that experience. Though we're apart now, I have that learning experience that could be my guide when that kind of situation come along in my way again. But I'm sure I will not do that kind of mistakes in my life again.

Why him? Because I know that I love him, so although I know that he's for me only for a while, I still chose to enter on that relationship.

i don't fight for love...that's like fking for virginity. it is dumb. if a person I love does not love me back...so be it...i'll love them from afar...that's the way it is.

There is something in every human being that it called ego. We tend to fight a lot with the loved ones than any one else. Because we are expecting them to compramize rather than we comprimising. Thats when it all starts. What we really need is to adjust and compramize with that person whom we really loved.If you really love any one for that matter you will forgive or forget bad and concentrate on good. I dont thisnk that is not happening here in this case. No one is for any one. If we want anything or any we need to get it and start l0ving it and treat good and bad same way.

If you already know from the start that it won't work, why do you just started it? ^_^ I think maybe God wants to show you wrong person before you meet the right person ^_^

You know I come to think of it also. That God maybe wants to show me wrong person so that when the right person come on my way, I will be more wise and mature enough to love again. By the way, there's a saying that "you will not learn if you didn't made a mistake".

yeah i would... i know that for a fact we are all just borrowing time from God so why would I not try to fight for something i know that could make me happy even just for awhile... My relationship now with some1 looks like it wouldnt really last but im willing to sacrifice time being with this person coz so far im happy. and for me, that is what is important. and maybe even if i think it wouldnt last, maybe God would change his mind and giv me this person forever.

Not all relationship work not even 2 people sometimes so in love with each other still in the end they fall apart. Their is no such thing as a perfect person or relationship. I think it is better to feel love then not having have love at all. I think love goes in mystery way. You can't tell next what to happen. But there is no harm to try, cause we don't know what will happen next. In love there should be no regrets even the hurts or pain still you have to go on and learn from it. In love you can't expect sometimes in return as long as you did your part. Have a nice day! God Bless!

You know what I realized though? It's hard to leave someone you love, even if they're the wrong one for you. I have been through this before and you may have to be strong and break things off for good. You have to know that there is happiness out there for you and if you don't find it with him YOU CAN FIND IT ELSEWHERE!! Don't short yourself or doubt yourself! I know it is hard but after the hurt there is the happiness. Baby you don't deserve anything but the best!

It depends on the reason/reasons why you think such love wouldn't last. If one of that reason is that the guy is committed, definitely, it is a NO. I will not fight for a guy who is with someone else. We deserve better than that. What matters now is that you were able to accept your fate. From then, you can move on and start over. You seem to have accepted it, yet, it looks like you haven't moved on...but that is a good start. Have a great day!

Why would you fight for it if you know it was not right? Sounds to me you thought he was right but maybe you did not deserve him.

Nearly all of us engage in a relationship that didn't last long. I befriended and dated many girls before I found one who is my dear wife now. Some of us men especially me can fight for many girls, the idea was to show other guys how many girls I can have even when I know that kind of relationship is not going to last long.

I questioned almost the same about my daughters father but after reading the responses i recieved from the discussion it has really opened my eyes and made me realize i did not want to continue to fall in the hole and keep being a little puppet for him. Sometimes you have to take the blind fold off although it may be hard and recognize that he is not for you because if he was he wouldn´t let you suffer thats how i see. I write from experience i have been hurt,humiliated, and insulted by the person that i considered to be my love for 5 yrs and a half, went through a pregnancy alone and yet i hold nothing against him because the day that he realizes that he took me for granted i will already be with some one who didn´t and then it will be to late.
