Welcome. Best not to continue arguing with >>18. Although I really want to address the grandstanding, button pushing and bad attitude, it's clear he or she has an emotional investment in the issue through unrelated life experiences. Or is just a troll.
(Offthought: I wonder if, when someone in your situation tells a friend he loves her, she just doesn't believe him? It fits in with the narrow whitewashed view of love many women subscribe to. Like it's not a real feeling unless both people share it equally. But I would have trouble consolidating this thought with simpler explanations.)
It seems you're better adjusted than you think you are, anyway. I wish you the best of luck, that you'll find someone that will accept the burden of your love.
