A very emotive subject, but Celine is inviting all of us to submit our experiences of the matter in hand, if need be by a pseudonym-screenname.

Well, as I e-mailed you, apparently I was not clear enough previously:) And/or perhaps my own thoughts on it were not even clarified sufficiently until after reading Celine's blog entry, and your comments. Discussion can be a good thing! It's all good -- have a great day -- Robin

Yes, ceilisundancer, I do agree with your previous comment. So sorry I misunderstood you and your previous comments and postings. Mea culpa.

Krissy -- I quite agree in not being a victim! I think Celine is incorrect to refer to all unrequited love as being a victim. If one choses to live ones life as a victim, then yes, that would be giving up ones self, and ones self-dignity. But, to me, that is not how unrequited love is defined. To me, it's as basic as when one person loves another, who doesn't love him or her back. I don't believe that in and of itself requires or assumes victimhood, or giving up of ones own dignity. one might do that, but it's certainly not, IMHO, a definition of unrequited love. Now, asyou point out, Celine is defining it in that fashion......... and I disagree with her definition:)
It's all good, Krissy, we love and do so in ways that stay respecting ourselves, eh?! -
This comment is in response to the comment no. 3 posted by ceilisundancer. It is contained in comment nos. 5 & 6 because there wasn't enough space for me to finish in comment section no. 5, LOL. Okay, here is the rest of my comment, which you may want to read after you read comments 3 & 5. Oh yeah, and 2, LOL. 2 was written by me. We are having a real dialogue, LOL. Anway, where is my finishing comment from comment # 6, the very last comment posted:
I do know about unrequited love, I can speak from experience. I almost married somebody, who I loved a lot (Eric). He changed his mind at the last mine. A friend of mine, Jim, said stop pining, it showed a lack of love for myself, and my dignity. Jim told me to date somebody who would treat me as good as I treated them. To have some dignity and respect for myself. So I decided I would not pine for Eric anymore. He was no longer appealing to me. Good thing. Because if I had tried to welcome him back, and stayed in that same state, I would never had met John. Life moves on. Eric holds a small teeny tiny place in my heart, a very, very small place, as he is part of my life, but I will NEVER BE HIS VICTIM, as celine calls herself a victim. I am NOBODY'S victim.

This I believe is the sad true fact of the matter. We know what it feels like to not want another person who is in love with us, we just do not enjoy that feeling bestowed upon us... The secret is to embrace that you have the power to love and having the confidence to pursue a love with mutual reciprocation
