Could you stay in a relationship where you are just crazy in love, head over heals, smitten kitten for someone and they care for you deeply but you can tell that the love you have for them is just not fully reciprocated.

Has this happened to you? Would you walk away and search for someone who loves you in the same way, or stay with the person that holds your heart in their hands?

I had no doubts when I read this message but to ###e moment you allowed anyone to keep your heart in his hands make you the vulnerable target,if you love someone,show it ,but if you don't get 100 percent in return than even if it is hard that person don't deserve your love and I will not even think twice to make this ###ve is to be earned,never forget that.

Stayed, but should have walked away as was never gonna be the same. Not bitter just a little wiser!!

Well love is never to be walked away.. otherwise it was infatuation..

If you really love some1, give ur life to get the person, and love is not about reciprocation you should do it unconditionally with no expectation.. If you really expect something in reciprocation out of ur love that is making a deal..

Hope some1 would love me like tht

The easy answer is to walk away because if your relationship is not a two way street then you are the only one in love and without both of you then it is not love. That being said it is a hard thing to do, our hearts can fool us into believing that it will change and steping away from the comfort of a relationship is never easy. But I believe that in the long run the hurt from a break up will be easier if you are honest with yourself and open minded enough to see that it can not be kept alive with just you putting all the effort into it.

Loving someone and being "in love" with someone are two very different conditions. I can love someone even if they don't love me. I'll always still care. However, when I'm "in love" with someone, the only way that strength of emotion can continue to flourish and grow in depth is if it is equally reciprocated. Otherwise, after a while, unrequetted love typically becomes hurt, angish, frustration, anger, hatred, misery and finally apathy. . .

Well, from a psychological stand point you should walk away. However, from a personal perspective, that's not always easy to do!!!

Oh my, I would drive myself crazy and toward depression or something if I was not getting the same feelings back from my partner. Why would you stay with someone that doesn't show the love and attention that you have for them? This has happened to me, and this is why I'm saying all this. I couldn't, it would just tear my heart into pieces.

What would you be doing for yourself besides feeling truly miserable with someone that doesn't love you the same way? Please...I'll take the walk away ticket, thank you. It's simply sad and unforgiving.

This has happened to me, and yes I tried to hold things together on my own and hoped he would eventually feel the same way. WRONG. He finally went on his way, and it tore my heart into. Even though I know it is better without him, you feel betrayed.
