    As a mortal, would you be willing to love and have a serious relationship with someone who was immortal?

    Things to consider:
    • In old age, you'd look like a pruny grape but the immortal would still look young.
    • The immortal will probably go on to love and have relationships with other people after your death.
    • There might be an uneven power dynamic in the relationship.
    • You might be in your 20s or something, but the immortal would be eons old.

    Yeah I'd give it a try, I'd hate to be an immortal and love a mortal though.

    Just to see them grow old and die whilewknowing it'd never happen to myself, maybe even more then once that'd be truly painful

    Even if I may be forgotten in the future, I would want to try and create happiness with the immortal now. Even if the memory is forgotten, the feelings will still be there.

    Hm... yeah, I think it would be really heartbreaking for the immortal to know that in the end, they are going to have to watch their lover wither and die.

    But then again, they say time heals all wounds. As children, we'll probably watch our parents die, and I imagine most people are able to overcome the grief of that given enough time. So I imagine the immortal will probably get over the heartbreak too.

    Honestly unlike what tv series those days says I doubt an immortal person would have a good temper, image spending a few hundred of years in middle age and saw a lot of death, crusaders and … I doubt he/she would have any emotion at all.

    If the emotions were there, I doubt I would have any problems with it.
    the heart wants what the heart wants, after all. Unless you dont have one, lol.
    though, I'd probably break up/divorce the immortal a couple years before my death, or do some other stupid stuff trying to make my end easier for said immortal.

    It depends on the situations of course. Let's say they're a cultivator. You living normally as a civilian and they dropping by every so often until you die of old age might be possible, unless they've got enemies, which make you a prime target to use against them.

    Alternatively, vampires are probably more common in such situations, and they might or might not be tolerated (or atleast not hunted outright).

    Basically, the situation can be extremely different varying on several factors, and provided the right ones happen and they wholeheartedly spend your lifespan with you (ie no other romances or cheating), then for the shortlived us, it wouldn't be too bad, but it would be way worse for them.

    And then, if there are children, that's a whole different situation.

    A better question is, would an immortal want to love a mortal :blobunsure:?

    Heck yeah. Even if they'll experience other relationships after me and are much older, I feel like I'd be able to have more fun with them than regular mortals. They'll have cool stories from experience, be wiser and have more skills, and their existence alone'll amaze me.

    No. Because, while I don't ascribe to any religion in particular, I DO believe in the soul and the possibility of there being some sort of afterlife. Heck, if I ever got married for some reason, along with the prenuptial agreement, my partner would be fully informed that should I die before her, I'd consider it cheating if she got in another relationship. And vice-versa ofc.

    No, although I'd be very flattered if they felt that way. I'd start to feel self-conscious once I got old. Rather they be my friend instead of deal with that awkward situation.

    Depends if the immortal can have kids. Sounds cool if immortal genes can be passed down after all. At the very least I will know my immortal partner won't be forever alone once I die with immortal kids around.

    Basically the plan would be for me to attain immortality with them, and never have that end to it. I suspect it would be easier than you'd expect it to be.

    Why not? As long as there is mutual love and trust it wouldn't matter if my lover were an immortal. The only sad thing is if you're on the immortal side and in love with a mortal. T_T I just couldn't bare it if my lover passed before me. TT_TT

    If we both loved each other I wouldn’t mind if they forgot about me thousands of years later
