Hypothetically speaking, what would you do if the person you were in love with literally forgot you existed? Or, what if you remember having a life with this person except it technically never happened for them?

Would you try to build a connection with them? Would it even be fair to do that? Would you simply try to move on?

Tell them.

( He didn't deal with this situation with someone he was in love with, all things considered. But he did go through it with Richard. So the question definitely hits close to home. )

But doesn't doing that put expectations on the other person even if that's not the intent?

It depends on the person.

Some might feel pressured, others might look at it as an opportunity.

Regardless, your experiences with them in the pass will color your judgement and behavior towards them. Being honest prevents confusion.

But wouldn't you worry about the possibility you'd project things onto them that aren't real?

[ It's an unavoidable reality, isn't it? He can't forget what they had and lost even if he wanted to. ]

Doesn't seem healthy even if they know what's going on.

You're going to project on them either way.

Helplessly pining isn't either.

Pick the lesser of two evils.
