If they don't love you, they aren't the love of your life, just someone you were infatuated with.
As a divorced guy, this is literally the sink or swim axiom. The grand unified theory of love and life. When everything you thought you knew collapses in on you, you are left with a simple decision - live in the past, or move the fuck on. Being bitter and resentful is a choice, and nobody can make it for you.
Yep, 100%. A crush on a friend or acquaintance is not a “love of your life.” You could be completely convinced a person is right for you, but if they don’t want to be in a romantic relationship with you, you’re wrong.
