Love help: A question to anybody who has ever loved anyone. - Help.com

A question to anybody who has ever loved anyone.

“all is fair in love and war” is the saying most often quoted when people ask how do you fight for the one you love . well I believe in that saying. I’m going through a situation myself and im trying to be classy about it but I might have to fight a little harder than expected to speed things along but anyway i digress. my question is this : If you want someone and somebody else wants them too does that saying hold true ? how can you respect somebody elses feelings and still go after your own happiness ? you can try to be classy and not really mean but at what point do you just have to say I dont care what the other person feels I wanna be happy too ! its not like you are doing the noble or christian thing and giving somebody who has no money your last dollar or helping out somebody who is needier than you. your not giving the last peice of food when there isnt anymore . this is a different situation and in this particular case its everybody for themselves. your thoughts on this

It depends on how the other person feels but if they like you there’s nothing you can do. Talk to your friend ask them if that should happen would they be happy for you? Would you be happy for them? If the answer is no you have to consider if this friendship of worth sacrificing for a relationship.
This is a true friendship tester.
Just because you think all is fair in love and war doesn’t mean your friend does. It’s a toughie. Good luck!

i’m in this situation too. honestly, i’d do anything to have them both, but that’s obviously not going to happen anytime soon. my take on it is just see how everything ends up, take each day as it comes.

but at a certain point whether its a friend or if a woman is leaving her husband for you or its a coworker or just someone you are trying to hurt or rub it in their face but at some point if you have tried all avenues and tried to not make waves but its not working or you cant wait for the process anymore cause its driving you insane at some point you gotta look out for yourself dont you ? sometimes in life you gotta take something not just be a doormat

Absolutely but with empathy.
It depends on one’s conscience.

Yes of course you have to do what makes you happy - and I’ve been there (and I’m now the happiest I’ve ever been with my boyfriend ) but I’m just trying not to be bias :D
