I pray to God this never happens, and I ache for those who wanted so much what they could not have. Unrequited love, and what is love without complete perfect union but unrequited, is nearly the hardest agony of all, save the loss of loved ones through death.
I was a fool once and walked away from a perfect woman who loved me and who I loved, who wanted to marry me and who I wanted to marry, who had joined me in betrothing, in joyous anticipation of our life together.
We were together for almost three incredibly beautiful years, then my world shattered and I lost all sense, and in my deepest despair, I begged her to release me lest I pull her down into my hell.
She, of course, refused. Why would she abandon her only true love when he was hurting the most in his life?
Marriage and true love is forever -- in good times and hard times, in health and in illness, wealthy or penniless, for better or worse...
So, I, in what I thought was my last good thing I would ever do on the face of this earth, I walked away.
Not for me.
For her.
I loved her that much.
I was dying in an agony of soul and mind, and I could not bear her pain caused by sharing in mine, I would not permit or allow it.
I was wrong. Oh, God forgive me, I was wrong.
The one person who wanted more than any other to help me find my way back, I walked away from.
Many years later, she met and fell in love with someone
who she married.
I still carry her in my heart, and I believe I am still in hers.
Life goes on, with or without love -- but, if you see a chance, believe me, you better take it.
I thank the heavens above that today I am in love again, more than ever before. We have betrothed our love, and I am the happiest man in the world.

My fiance parents rejected me when i asked their daughter's hand for marriage. The reason behind this is because i m a white american proposing Indian girl for marriage. I never lost my hope because i have everything in life, i m financially secured, my business empire is established throughout the globe, i come from a well known and respected family, the only disadvantage i had before was i lose my temper quick maybe bcs i was a druggy. They didnt want to ruin their daughter's life with a spoiled rich druggy kid like me but i sacrificed everything for "NEHA", she changed my life alot. I fell in love wth her from the first time i saw her at USC, it was like the time went slow when i saw her....I quit drugs, i started to be polite, i respect my elders, basically i changed to a new better person. At the end, the father came up to me and gave Neha's hand to me, tht was my happiest moment in my life.....i never lost hope, i knew if i could change i will sure get her. Now not only i have the most beautiful women in my life, i m also a new better person, i just hope i can learn to become a better person to support and love my family in the future, no matter wht i have seen everything in life, now i have to give everything to my family till i say goodbye to this life.

Oh yes, about three times, if you realise or think about spending the rest of your life with that one person and if you can accept their faults and beliefs without hurting yourself or giving in to them then go for it, if not get out of the relationship. Sometimes it's nothing really against the person it's just the fact you don't want to spend the rest of your life with him controlling you or you have different morals. Think it through wisely, a good date is not always a good mate. I believe if all boys and girls had to live on there own for a year, taking care of washing, cooking, bill paying the whold nine yards, we wouldn't have near as many divorces.

I have turned down two blokes. The first one was easy as he was crazy and a stalker I only went out with once. The second one was sad and horrible. He was a nice sweet fellow but I just didn't love him enough to have kids with him. But then I said yes twice too. So hopefully the Karma balances out.

My close friend was involved with a woman for 9 years. He brought up marriage but she didn't want to "be married," nor have children, nor move away from her family. Later, she broke it off with my friend, got married to a navy guy, moved to southeast asia, and had a baby. Go figure!
There probably should be more proposals turned down. Considering the divorce rate is too high, people marry for the wrong reasons (fear of being alone is probably top).
Sorry people seem to be more focused on your avatar vs. your questions. You do seem to have a lot of best answers though.
Please don't pick Bender yet again as your best answer. Is he your husband?

I turned one down a few years back at an office party. I was married at the time and she was slobbering drunk. It was embarrasing. Her husband, a coworker of mine, was watching and laughing the whole time. She was groping me and trying to kiss me asking me to marry her. I pointed and said, "Hey, there is Mel Gibson." She turned to look and I was gone faster than a set of rims at a P Diddy concert. The next day she tried to apologize and I walked away from her.

I've turned down four, but only one I regret. Several years ago.
Someone that fit me like a glove, but wouldn't have been right for my young children. I made the right decision, but still catch myself at times pondering "What if"?
