Divergent sexualities

[FrustratedFool]

As discussed above, reciprocation is not required to generate the emotion/sensation of love. As is evidenced by the love people have for imaginary friends and deities. And objects.

Consider a little thought experiment (along with the ones previously given): You are in love with a beautiful man, who, unbeknownst to you, is a psychopath who is merely pretending to love you back in order to con you out of your wealth. There is no true reciprocity of love, but your feelings are exactly the same as if they were.

If the feeling isn't mutual you are not in a relationship one partner is simply preying on the other. Objects don't feel anything so it's not a relationship you are simply using the object and gods and imaginary friends aren't real they are simply reflections of a person's mind and have no thoughts of their own

Right. The love is real and present, but now we shift to discussing relationship. As I've noted, in an objectum relationship the OS is (unless you subscribe to animism) experiencing a psuedo-relationship, like believers and their god.
