If your partner's happiness is in someone else's arms, are you willing to give him/ her up? If he/ she is your strength, would you let him/her go? If he/she is the only one left that matters to you, will you let her go free? If he/ she is is your only reason to live, can you say goodbye?

yes, i will let him go if that's the only reaso for him to be happy. they say love is selfish but for me it's self sacrifising..i would sacrifice my own happiness rathen that watching him suffer because of my selfishness.

yes, i will. because I can never be truly happy if the one I love is not happy. And it would only hurt more in the end and besides the first rule in love, I think is loving yourself first. You cannot truly love anybody else if you don't love yourself. I think one has to learn how to be alone to truly appreciate being with someone and if you know how to be alone I do not believe that you will need anybody else to be the center of your world, you're only reason for living, as you said. You cannot depend on someone else for your well being is what I say. As the saying goes your right end when another person's begins (i don't know if I stated that right) like yes, you have the right to be happy but the other person has the right to be happy too and if he/she cannot be happy with you. But I do believe in 'trying to work things out' if at all possible specially if other people other than yourselves are involved (your children, if any) but if it really goes like there really is no working things out, it's better to let each other go, start a new life and find your happiness somewhere else

I'm not sure it will be that easy if I am in that situation.But if his heart is indeed not for me. Why I still want him to be with me. It may hard at first. I will be hurt but that is for the better.. for him and for me. I can't live with someone that I can have his body but not his heart and soul. Let him go....

Depends. I think I would stay with him until Im just as sad with him as I would be without him. I know, sounds selfish. Actually, just a few days ago my boyfriend dumped me because he was scared about us fighting while he is in college, so I guess im kind of in the position right now.
