Love is a complicated thing.lol Well my question is would you try to love someone if you already know that you will not get him/her? If you still love that person then why? What is your basis for this love? Is that your choice or just can't avoid it? Please explain as much as you can...... Thanks

Dear Dark sorrow, Our mind and heart will always makes a choice and choose for what to think. We will keep thinking that person build by fantasy and Imagination and hope for the word of "What if" ..example , What if this person love me as i do. All i know and expert in my life is,.. restless. To loving is to let go, to love is to expecting nothing in a return. I have lost the one i love . And its scars.. Tough time will heal everything but remember that the "goody" part, it's not everything else that un seen. Happy posting always. oxoxo'dian from Bali island.

*hug, for mysdianait. I hope you will find somebody that you can spend for the rest of your live and happy. Yes Darksorrow, i tell you about my story of love. You know, i was devorce and move to Bali island to heal my pain mean wile work, because my ex husband can't never devoted to me only (though he said 'still' love me) because he have other relationship with another woman and she already have a baby, me too at almost at the same year. But my baby die because he was 6 months premature and only have 3 rooms at his heart. Though you love him so much(my husband), i have to let him go, because she and her baby need him more than i do. And i was fallen in love again when i have my baby and seeing his cute lil face ant the incubator. So much in love that i think my heart exploded. But then i realized The fact that this baby belongs to God, and when He decided to take him back,.. But at the time i said "I will let you go, because i love you" your heart will felt slowly easy and getting more relax than before. When we fall in love Darksorrow, we must understand that this person its not yours completely--soon or later--separation is a nature otomaticaly happen. Love is not only the joy but also the pain. It's mix as one like salad. oxox'dian from bali island.

I have been in this situation and took me ages to let go. I don't want to go into too much detail but I was very deeply involved with a colleague from work who was from a different country, a different religion etc. We had been living together already for three years and I knew that he had a marriage arranged for him by his parents to a girl from his own country who he never sw except for when he returned there on his summer vacation. He was happy here and intended living the rest of his life here, with me. All was fine until the third summer when he returned to his country and married the girl. She remained there and he was perfectly honest about it with me. He then bought a house not far from where we were living and his intentions were obvious. He would have had two lives, one with me and one with her because the way he was brought up allowed this. To cut a long story short... I let him go. He was suffering as I was but I couldn't bear seeing him torn in two. He is still here and has three sons now. He is happy and I am happy when I see him happy. If you can't have something that you love and the situation is causing pain, you let it go because you love it. It's hard at the time but to live a life trying to be happy is not as easy as it seems. Love will find you eventually and you won't have to make choices.

Hmmmm. I was reading your response again & again. There is something deep in your response which i am not able to get i think. Sorry i still am a naive. To loving is to let go, to love is to expecting nothing in a return. Why do we need to let it go if one loves that person? Why can't they stay in each others life if they love each other? Expecting nothing is ok but is separation necessary? Asking too many questions.lol But i need some answers. Thanks

Hello darksorrow, Love doesn't always mean that you will be together. If you love someone and you know that she can't be with you, you should let her go. You still can love her but just love her as your friend. Unless you know that you are not clapping with one hand, you should forget about the feelings and try to accept her and love her as your friend.

Hello darksorrow, Nice to hear from you again too! If both of you love each other, I will suggest that both of you need to fight to get your love and be together - no matter what happen! But both of you must fully aware that there are many obstacles in love. Love is not about loving each other only. You can't live with love only. It is just not enough in this cruel world, my friend. If one of you can't make it, well...I need to know the reason. If it can be overcome, then do it - fight for your love!

Thanks for this gr8life. And there are many things which i can't share here or with anyone else. But something in her is good that she always forgets my mistakes and brings things back to normal. But the obstacle we have can't be removed and we also accepted that. Thanks for your suggestion.

Hello gr8life, Nice to see you again. I want to ask you one question. If both of them loves each other and it's one's fault that they can't be together then what should the faulty person do?

I think love is feeling not a choice and you can't pick and choose who you love. You can't turn it on and off. You can't "try" to love someone, You either do or you don't. You can choose whether to act on it or not though. I think if you love someone you should act on it and try to make it work out.

Hello darksorrow! The only thing that would make me know if the person is not made for you is that when the person is married already or if there's no other chance for the person to love me. Then probably, I will stop my feelings as early as I could.

I will never do that. I don't thing there is a point in being bf and gf if you arleady know that you are not going to get married to that person. Many guys who are not in my religion propsed me. I said no to many of them even though I liked some of them because I knew that my parents won't allow me to marry somebody out of my religion and I didn't want to love them just for fun.

Loving someone is not in your hand. When it comes to you, you become helpless and there is no way other than accept that you love that person. The persons you met are those who you liked but have not fallen in love. So you are saying this i guess.

I have in the past. Some things you can't control. All you can do is learn and grown from it. Now I am married. I have taken the lessons with me to help me be a better wife.

I don't think love can be controlled, if we could there wouldn't be so many love problems in this world, emotions of love just happen and can't be turned off like a tap unfortunately....

I agree with you. People have no control over it.

Never give up on the person you love. Love is so incredibly powerful. There are people who never give up loving someone even though he receives lukewarm response from that person. You must believe in your self and remember that word 'best man wins' Be patient even though you may not see the results immediately, love always works.

Actually, I am really not understanding those peopole who love someone that they know that they will never get. Sounds crazy. What is the hell that attact them, why just could stop hurting themselves. I feel sad and distressed for them, love is not the only thing in your life, so give other people who love you a chance and a smile.

You answered yourself : Sounds crazy Well if you fall in love then you would understand whether it is crazy or not. Till then my friend.....

this is very hard to do. coz it happens to me. i think when you know the true meaning of love, you will understand this situation. for me love is a sacrifice, if someone you love is not meant to be yours then you have to let go even though you are hurting so much.
• Bangladesh

Yeah. You got it right. Sometimes you have to sacrifice your feelings for that person for the sake of the other. But when you are the guilty one then the burden is too much for you to bear. THanks for sharing your feelings.
