How hard could be for a person share a life together with another one who dont really love even when the other do?
There are ways to make this situation soportable?

I once read "If you can't have the one you love, love the one you have" but I don't think that works. Does it?

No, indeed it don't. Not unless you want a life of martyred misery. And thanks again, Cope, for your subtle insights and analysis.

'Soportable' = 'bearable'.
You can't make yourself love someone (in your mind) you don't (in your heart). if love has been lost, you can try and recapture it. If there was never love, or only in one direction, it's unlikely to happen.

A good buddy of Elvis once said, "if you love somebody set them free".
And if you don't, set them free anyway.

Bamboo, those 'ugh' s were not directed at you or anyone here. They were just the most intelligent comment I could make on this topic at the moment, and sadly I was/am too affected by it to keep my cyber mouth shut.
My advice is threefold:
1. Don't waste more than a year of life trying to recapture lost love. It's a long shot. Worthwhile, maybe, but a long shot. I spent about five years trying this and all it got me was blame, contempt, and belittlement.
2. Don't count on being let go. Most people would rather hold on to whatever aspect of you is comforting to them, and fuck whatever pain they're infliciting in the process.
3. Don't take advice from bitter people. It's always so negative.

Sorry for being flippant earlier...I wasn't sure whether it was a serious post, and if it was I apologise.
Sadly I'm not fit or able to give any advice, but hope that you find happiness and truth in your life.

Mug, ok.
Also directed at no-one in particular: when in doubt, eat chocolate.
