I will use a specific example. I was trying to write "My love for you is
hurting me."

"私の愛ために貴方は私を傷つけている。" Is what I came up with, however, I am unsure about the
usage of "ために" in this situation.

And if it is incorrect, what would be the correct way to say "for"?

How to say "for"
Like user1205935 said, 私のあなたへの愛、 or あなたへの私の愛、 or あなたに対する私の愛 seems to be the
translation. In my experience, things like "for you" get turned into
statements of possession. The only other case I can think of is when thanking
someone for something- you don't even use の, it just turns into 何何～ **を**
ありがとう。 為に is more along the lines of for the purpose, implying some end in
mind- which in this case doesn't make sense.
