Let's say the "love of your life" suddenly disappears in an accident and there is no conclusive proof whether s/he is alive or not, how long will you wait before giving up waiting? How long should you wait?

"no conclusive proof whether s/he is alive or not"
I think you have to differentiate between that and, as in the movie, an
extremely unlikely possibility
that the person is alive. If it were the case you state like if she just disappeared from home or didn't return to her parked car it would be harder to give up, knowing it could be something that case in Ohio, where the brutally insane man kept that woman his sex-slave prisoner for 9 years. But in the case in which she was on a missing airplane, if she were not found quickly I would know it's
virtually impossible
that she is alive especially if it was known there was an explosion [I'm not sure that was known in the movie until Chuck was rescued and interviewed if it was, they should have had a better idea of where it happened, and thus a more accurate search.]
In former case, I'd say 3 years or more. In the latter (like the movie), only a few months.
"Show me the holes!" Is that your signature, or are you trying to add some funny with your question? -

Hence Kelly's conflict. Chuck is the love if her life, but she can't just dump her husband and daughter.
I am a widow and after a long time alone, I recently started dating a nice man. But even if that relationship goes further, my late husband will always be the love of my life, even if I get remarried someday.
