The Other Side of Unrequited Love

[kitty99]

In my experience, It was unrequited for me as well. Circumstances and the situation made it impossible. It ended badly and I was threatened and now I question my feelings due to his behavior. In any case I have moved on.

You'd probably would've regretted it even more if you have married him.

It is sad when one person loves and the other one does not.

Of course it's sad on some level, but we're not responsible for other people's projections and fantasies. The best one can do is be considerate in letting them know their feelings aren't reciprocated.


Oops, what? 12-year-old thread revived?

Sort of fitting to revive unrequited love relationship thread since it is February 29th...
Maybe it can become a leap year tradition on C-D
Agree with the above comment.
Relationships with unrequited love are best left to die, if once declared one party is not.
Truly a sad thing for anyone to endure / experience.
