Polish term or phrase: Nieszczęśliwie zakochany z wzajemnością
Kontekst:

Bohater pewnej historii wygłasza kwestię: "Jestem w relacji platonicznej z mężatką. Innymi słowy, można powiedzieć, że jestem nieszczęśliwie zakochany z wzajemnością."

I teraz: poszukuję "najzgrabniejszego" odpowiednika, który nie będzie "zgrzytał" w wersji angielskiej. Mój pomysł to: "I am unhappily, and reciprocally in love" - bo chyba nie "mutually" (?)

Native speakers most welcome :)

TIA,
