Have you heard this in a relationship? What do you say? Me I told him who he loves is his fault and who love is my own responsibility. Did that work? Well not at first but after he thought about it awhile, we stayed friends, kind of.

I haven't heard that one but I have heard that everything else is my fault. My ex will fall out of his wheel chair at 90 and one way or the other it will be my fault..lol..take care.

Kind of? :) This has been said to me - or, at least, some variation of it. I usually perceive it as a compliment, though. It's usually my bf that says it. He may say something like "why you make me love you so much?" (with a smile) I think it's supposed to mean that I am so in love with you I feel helpless ... like you caste a spell on me. But, if it's not your man that's saying it it could be a little awkward. It seems you like you don't reciprocate this guy's feelings. In this instance, what he is saying has a grain of truth to it. If you know that he has strong feelings for you and you don't have the same for him, and these feelings that he has for you could be making his life more complicated and disappointing, than you "kind of" do have a responsibility to minimize the damage to his emotions. I've seen women cry on the shoulders of, laugh, hug, lay next to, spend a lot of time alone with a man that they know was heavily interested in them - and these women knew that they didn't feel the same. Not right.

The women you are talking about are teases and must bear the responsibility for that, it is a cruel thing to do. Thank you for your different point of view. Please understand this does not involve me personally. When I create these discussions it's because I heard or read or know of situations like this. Please remember this is a virtual world here. But my questions are valid because I often wonder what I would do if placed in the same situation. Thanks

oh, I didn't know it wasn't your personal situation cuz you used words like "I" and "Me". It is good to ask questions for the sake of discussion. Do you really view My Lot as a virtual world - separate from our realities? (Maybe I should start that discussion :) )

Each person is responsibility for their own emotion but, it's hard sometimes to control who you are attracted to and who you fall for.

That’s a good one! How immature is that comment? I have never been told anything like that before. What are you supposed to do when you hear ‘It’s your fault I love you…” apologise? Geesh…That’s just silly!

Well I can say that I have never heard these words said to me before, and I am glad I haven't. It sounds a little bit like emotional blackmail - it's like you said, when it comes to love, you can't start holding people responsible for anything.

that is weird and funny! why do you love and then give fault to another? loving doesnt command "you should love me if i love you" because love is unconditional. i dont know why you call it love at all. sorry. no offense. ann

I really don't think love is a feeling we can force or control, and fault doesn't enter into it. We love who we love; we cannot love who we don't. This is my personal take and experience. Karen

I have found that a person isn't always in control over who they fall in love with. Life is about learning and growing as people. Sometimes there is just enough glue to get the learning done.
