Knowing for a fact that the person you love will inevitably die while you will live forever is another story.
Plenty of people still get dogs knowing that the dog will die long before them. Many of those people never get another pet because of the pain from losing the one they loved. It’s like that but on an eternal scale.
This isn’t even a can situation. Except for those rare cases of two partners during together in an accident, one of your will die before the other. This hypothetical situation isn’t hypothetical, it’s the norm.
And immortality doesn’t change anything. One person dies and the survivor grieves. After some years, you get over it. Life goes on. It’s not that you don’t still miss the person, but life goes on, and the pain fades. This happens in mortal timelines, immortality doesn’t make the scenario any more poignant.
