Sorry to sound jaded and cynical, but not only is that attitude naive, it is also unhealthy. Loving someone onesidedly and not knowing when to let go and move on with your life, not only hurts yourself, but eventually you hurt everyone around you and maybe even the person you love so much. That is how stalkers are born. Moving on from one-sided love or a failed love is a natural and healthy progression. Finding out later that your crush loved you back doesn't make you unfaithful, it makes you lucky. Because mutual love coming from an unrequited love is rare in hetero relationships and a thousand times more so in homosexual relationships. Holding on to a failed or unrequited love may seem romantic in manga and movies, but think about what would happen if everyone did that. I've had several bouts of unrequited love, especially when I was a teen. Had I not known when to give up and move on I would never have met the man who loves me with all of his heart. I would not be a mother or a grandmother, nor would I be the person I am today. Because all the wonderful people in my life now, I met because I moved on from those who did not love me back. I'd be a lonely, bitter old woman watching my unrequited love live a happy, productive life, while I moped and grew more bitter by the day. Please never do this to yourself. Life is not a fairy tale, nor is it a manga. Find the person who loves you with all their heart and live happily. Don't stay stuck in an unrequited love and be alone just to appease some romantic idea that your unrequited love might one day come true. You have to grow past those things. And who knows, by moving on and growing, what caused your unrequited love to not return your feelings may change and they will realize just what they missed out on. You may also realize that what made your unrequited love so special just isn't all that special anymore. Then it will be your turn to be their unrequited love. People are meant to grow and change over time. Forcing yourself to stay stuck in one place for someone who doesn't feel the same, only puts you at a disadvantage. Please, don't ever do this to yourself. You are better and more precious than that. Only by moving on will you find the person who sees just how wonderful, special and precious you are.
Even in this story, they had to grow while they were apart so they could find the courage to speak openly and honestly with each other. That would not have happened if they had not parted. They would have kept failing to communicate their feelings. Sometimes we can grow together with the one we love, but other times we need to grow in different directions so we can come back together better and stronger. Each learned to stand strong without the other while they were apart and when they got back together they were able to stand strong for themselves, for the person they love and for the relationship they shared. This is another reason staying stuck in one place and not moving on is unhealthy. You can't grow for yourself or for those you love. Imagine if your unrequited love really did love you back, but like in this story it was a lack of communication. They move on and grow, but you don't. Suddenly, they are no longer the person you once loved and you are left behind still unable to move on. What attributes will you have to offer them if you have never changed or grew? You may no longer suit them and they are no longer like they used to be. Will you still love them? Will they still love you? Now, you're not just separated by a lack of communication, but by the many differences between you.
I know I rambled on and I'm sorry for that, but I have seen this happen in real life far too often. I have even experienced it first hand. The world keeps turning whether we like it or not. You have to either choose to live and move on with the world, or simply exist in the vacuum of the past. Living things cannot survive in a vacuum. You may be breathing, eating and even functioning, but you are not living. You are existing. Just existing is like being dead but moving around. It is a horrible way to be, trust me. We all want to believe that the person we love will love us back, but that is not always the case. That doesn't mean that there isn't someone out there who does love you. Just because you can't have the pony you wanted doesn't mean you should destroy the expensive car you were given, right? That would be a bratty and selfish thing to do.
Why so edgy? Your comment is longer than manga, just drop that down vote and go....
Why do you care? Try taking your own advice.
Judging people who have consenting sex between two adult who aren’t seeing other people is the worst
I’m gonna save this comment for my life
You may have read a little too much into her comments.... Your reply sounds like self therapy.
I loathe it whenever a character sleeps with person while having romantic feelings for another. It's betrayal to yourself, only regrets and guilt will be left and worse you hurt the the person you have feelings with, if you found out later that it was actually mutual. I prefer those characters who's honest with their desires and has no morals ┑(￣Д ￣)┍
