Long term love but apart?

[TiggyArm]

Have you ever loved someone but not been able to be with them so just continued to love them anyway but not discussed it? I love someone, have no intention of telling him how I feel but how do things work out long term? Does the love persist? Does it die or change over time? I’m interested to know how things might turn out for me. I have tried to stop loving him but the love just deepens over time.

Well - in the long term nothing will change unless circumstances change and you act somehow...

But what I sometimes find with these sort of situations - the impossible unrequited love - is often less about the other person and more about you. Fear of real life and taking real chances in relationships that are at hand; insecurity, etc.

I suppose I mean ‘love from afar’.

Have you actually ever been in a relationship with this person?

Not a physical relationship, no.
