Have You An Unrequited Love?

[Sunshine]

Right now....yes.

I stay up all night thinking about him and wondering if he's okay. Then "Herman" starts to kick in and I start to attack myself. Thinking about it right now....I don't think we'll be anything more than friends no matter how bad I want more.



ugh, now you've gone and depressed me!

i am currently going through that with a long distant relationship and have all those feelings everynight

 

[helzeena]

A crush. Well I don't know whether it's unrequited but I presume it is

 

[RationalLunacy]

I did. He died. That's that.

 

[CGHJ]

I have, many times...it used to hurt so much, but then I realized there's always more chances.

Funny this topic came up.......in fact, I do. It's driving me insane!!! Funniest part is, he's about 17 years my junior. I've always gone for older men.......(hence my username olderbetter)(I'm 41, he's 24).......I tell myself over and over to get over it and I fight it and I don't think he realizes how I feel........I hate this and I hate feeling this bad.

Yes, I've had that -- three times, at least.

It was simultaneously one of the most wonderful and painful things to have ever happened to me. The first was the worst. When he moved away I felt like someone was ripping my heart out of my chest and grinding it into a little mass of quivering goo.

That was where I learned what the term "heartbroken" means.

I'm not in unrequited love now. Fortunately? Maybe. I don't care to repeat it, unless there's a chance of making a life with the person I'm in love with.

My heart reaches out to everyone who has had that experience. I am so fortunate on this count for I have two loves and both have been requitted.

If I was kept awake at night, it was usually for something very special or because they were sick and need my loving care.

I hope it never happens to me, I have enough hurts in other areas of my life without that too.

Shep+

It's a part of growing up, a bit like zits -- you learn to deal with it.

I agree it's painful, but so is arthritis. At least you have meds for that.

^ Unrequited love is love that is not reciprocated, even though reciprocation is usually deeply desired, for whatever reason(s).

Yup, I've been there, done that.

 

[justsimon]

I have in the past. My current feelings are requited, but there are complications.

 

[GL]

yep. i sure do.
