I see a lot of people picking the Unrequited Love option ...
And while that situation definitely does suck,
Option 2 is far worse.
Allow me to explain ...
Unrequited love is truly a maddening and painful fate, but eventually you can get over it. You come to terms with the fact that the person cares nothing for you and, while it hurts, you do face the truth and move on.
But, a situation in which Love flows both ways but is denied by circumstance ...
That is a punishment I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy.
With unrequited love, only one person suffers.
With Separated love, both people suffer.
To know that you hold someone else's heart and actually cause them pain because of your absence ...
To know that there is someone out there who loves you as much as you love them, and yet, you're unable to do a damned thing about it ...
To endlessly torment yourself by thinking of ways that you could be together, and seeing them broken and smashed one by one by the cruel hand of fate.
And let's say that you do try to forget about the other person ...
Can you ever truly love another when, in the back of your mind, you wonder if the other person is still waiting for you?
With unrequited love, you can at least take some solace in the fact that the other person might be happy with someone else.
With separated love, you and the other person may try to find love elsewhere, but the Love that dwells in your heart for each other is always going to be there.
And if you do manage to love someone else?
What if, sometime down the road, the situation changes?
Suddenly, there's nothing standing in between you, except that now, either one or both of you has a committment to somebody else?
Do you stay with the one you're with now, or do you go after the one that got away?
If you stay, you crush someone's heart and you'll be wondering 'what if I left' for the rest of your life.
If you leave, you crush someone else's heart, and STILL be wondering 'what if I stayed' for the rest of your life.
And if the two of you find no one else, what then?
Are the both of you doomed to spend the remainder of your days, pining away for each other, giving up on other relationships, hoping that one day, someday, that wall that keeps you apart will finally come tumbling down?
So, my friends,
being unloved hurts,
but being loved hurts more.

Unrequited love for me. I would rather have someone return my love and know I have someone's heart as they have mine and endure not being able to physically be with him. And when the love is true things will work out and those 2 people will be brought together.

Unrequited love is a bore.
The non-together love is worse

Unrequited love, I think, is worse because it has the potential to lead to so much that is wrong...being in love with someone you know you can't be with can be a help even though it is heartache because...it can keep a person going when all hope seems lost.....

Unrequited love. There is no pain quite like it.

Love can be expressed in many ways other than within the physical plane. Unrequited love is almost impossible to express appropriately, and is, at best, incredibly frustrating. I have no challenge in expressing my love across all of the planes of existence, so I choose the opportunity to have it welcomed, whenever, and wherever it may be.

Unrequited love is not love - love is not a one way street.
That is just fantasy.
So, Casablanca or Gone with the Wind ?

Unrequited love. I would hate that. With the second one atleast you know how you both feel and you know that you're both thinking of each other. It's sort of comforting.

Unrequited love.
Its so lonely and miserable. At least if you cant be with the one you love, you HAVE that ones love in return. One day it may be different but unrequited love just goes on and on and on, never ending nothingness.
No thanks!
