How can unrequited love sound so stupid?

Take a look at this:

A man in Jharkhand has written the name of his lost love 1.4 million times since 1997 and wants to continue till he reaches the figure of 10 million as penance for not having had the courage to ask for her hand in marriage as well as to inspire other lovers.

Kishore Kumar Gaba, a resident of Ranchi, fell in love 20 years ago but could not muster the courage to propose marriage to her since her family had a higher economic status than his own.

Sounds romantic? Yeah, you bet. I personally think that Kumar Gaba should have commited suicide instead.... What a fucking retard.

Here I tell you why:

Gaba's tale of unfulfilled love would be a rather romantic, poignant one--except for the fact that the guy is a married man with two kids. The press missed the really interesting character in this story, who I reckon is Gaba's wife, who has to be some sort of saint.
