When is it time to give up the dream?

Why would one be in a relationship if the other person didn't love them back?
What kind of relationship would that be?

When is it time to give up the dream?

If it is a dream it isn't real from the start...

There is no time limit on falling or being in love. Some feel the attraction instantly and it evolves and some take a little longer. It isn’t a tangible thing. It’s allusive and un-definable. If the one you love doesn’t love you back then you feel that too and your heart tells you so.

Unrequited love is a waste of life and the love you have to share with someone else.

There must be 50 ways to leave your lover.

You just slip out the back, Jack.
Make a new plan, Stan.
You don't need to be coy, Roy.
Just get yourself free.
Hop on the bus, Gus.
You don't need to discuss much.
Just drop off the key, Lee.
And get yourself free


But seriously, if you have to part the best way is to communicate like you never communicated before. Open conversation with respect and care is the only way to ease the pain of broken hearts. And say... goodbye.

And 50 ways to love your liver.

Broiled over corn meal, Shaquille
Breaded and fried, Clyde
Grilled up just right, Dwight
Fried with an onion, Runyon
Raw for a man, Stan

I could go on, but by popular request, I will stop.....

It occurred to me that the words of wisdom from Rhymin’ Simon were a bit one sided. So I added a few for the other side.

Just slip him a pill, Jill.
Drive away in the van, Jan.
You don’t need to stay there, Cher,
Just get yourself free.
Hop in your Chev, Bev.
You don’t need to discuss much.
Just mail him the key, Bri.
And get yourself free.

OP, if he does not express that he loves you to others then he does not love you

The dream never has to end because the dream is within us,what we see as happiness with another person is our dream.I think alot of times,the wrong person walks into the dream and everything gets all messed up and it will become a nightmare! Then its time to move on, with your dream.......

Some times people confuse lust(in love) with love. Love is a concious choice that is made and grows the longer you are together and share.

I would say "when you want to."

There's no magical answer to this, as some others have pointed out - it depends on the individuals and the people involved.

I do have some questions for you, though:
1. Are you sure this person doesn't love you?
2. Do you feel like you are missing other opportunities for happiness?
3. Are you sleeping with the guy? You don't have to answer that here in the forums, of course, but if you're sleeping with him all this time, he has less incentive to "sack up" and move on if he's not in love with you. Giving the milk for free need not have anything to do with getting married or not.

I would also say that you have it backward. If you love them and they don't love you, the kindest thing THEY could do for YOU is set YOU free. See the Supremes tune "You Keep Me Hangin' On" for reference.
