You've had several good replies to this question, however, I guess it all depends on the circumstances and if it's worth 'fighting' for. I just came through a very rough weekend where my relationship is concerned, long story short, he put it across to me that we weren't headed in the direction he thought we should be, and that I wasn't the person he thought I was.......all because of a huge misunderstanding that he saw one way, but there was underlying reasons that he didn't know about, and had never bothered to discuss or ask about. Anyway, I gave him my explanation and asked if there was a chance that he would give 'us' a second chance, and he has! But, I know that he's worth any sacrifice I could ever make, and I love him in a way that I would make any sacrifice he asked me too. I know in my heart that we are meant to be together, and as of last night, we will be. :)

I think you actually have already started the healing process, acknowledging that you know it can never be. I was married for 16 years, divorced 3 yrs, and with this wonderful guy I'm with now for 2. It was hard being with someone that long and facing the facts that it was better to end it. But, whenever I have looked back in life, each part was a stepping stone to another, better place. Good luck.

hmmm...HOLD ON THEN LET GO me by nature is a martyr.:) Let me tell you my story... Im married for almost 6 yrs now... and my husband affair with her other woman started 2 and a half yrs ago... and I hold on for 2 yrs doing everything to make things work between us... being a good fgriend though it hurts almost like hell... unfortunately... ive been fooled, dumped, hurt a hundred times...then I told myself...its time... then I let go... and i didnt regret doing it... You know what... being at your best always to make things work whatever the situations may be...is the thing that you can do that you will not regret doing after... We cannot expect life to be fair and the only weapon we have i to take whatever benefit we could have in every lifes lesson... trials keep us stronger and wiser... from everything you will learn... you just only have to know when letting go is already needed... WHEN?... well its when you did all your best to make things work...but it doesnt...then its the right time to let go...

woah! thats a rough ride there.. i think you're right too..i actually did what you did..and i think right now is the best time to let go.. i've been holding on to nothing for almost 3 years now.. i mean..sometimes i think im a dummy for being so serious at a young age.. but you know it really makes a person strong and tough after going through all this kind of beautiful crap..^_^

It's not going to be easy. But I always tell to myself, if you love something set it free, if it doesn't come back....it was never meant to be, but if it does....love it forever. I'll try to go on with my life since there are more people live in this world. Who knows, it might be for the best. I might find somebody else along the way that is much better and love me the way I am. In the mean time, I'll just enjoy myself and keep myself busy with things that I love doing.

sometimes it is hard to let go of someone. the thing is you have to let go but not let go all the same. you can let them go and be happy for them but remember them and the times you shared. they are apart of you. you just cant let go of the memories. sometimes it is better to let someone go cause you find your wings that way or they come back. keep in your heart the specail times you had but let them go and let them be happy. get on with your life and find happiness it is never good to sit and wish for things that hurt. we all make chioces in life some we never know if it is right but we make them. live life with what you have now.

true man.. our memories is the only good thing left.. he'll be a part of me and i'll be a part of him but not like we used to treat each other.. those are the things that i wont trade for anything else..and to be happy without him is a good thing.. i wish him well too.. i am actually not that bitter about it because i knew it was coming..i just didn't think that it'll be now.. but i am happy.. i'll move on..^_^

For me, maybe its hard to give up but if there no more reasons for you to stay, then you should let go of it..We got to move on.

I would let go and move on. If he dumped me I dont want him back. He could possibly just do it again. I want a partner who loves me when times are good and when times are bad. I dont want to worry about him leaving me.

oh sorry to hear that. For me i think it depends on the situation. since you didnt give the details. But of course i do understand. Its case to case basis. If your dumped because he found someone new then of course you ahve to move on. No sense of holding on when the other one is not love you anymore. It will just cause you more pain and will hurt you so much. So i think you must learn to move on and learn from that experience. Theres someone better for you coming. Personally, i will let go and move on.

that depends on how strong were the feelings for him and the reason for which you got dumped. But i thing that you will move along and be just fine after some time. Take good care of you , bye .

I once broke up, and hold on for one month. Then we got back together. Both he and myself have change to a better person. Being more understanding and have give each other bigger space and room for ourself.

if the guy dumped you then i guess you better let go and move on.. maybe he doesnt love you that much because he dumped you.. but first you have to really know how he feels, i mean i dont know the reason why you broke up but for me i dont really want a guy to dumped me.. i got dumped before and though it was not a really serious relationship but the experience was hurtful.. i moved on and found a guy who love me much.. :) i hope you will find hapiness soon..

I suggest you to let go your unhappy and sad memories. Move on and have a new life. Becasue i think you no need to miss someone or waiting for someone who had hurt you before. There are many good guys/girl out there waiting for you to meet and explore. You will meet someone who is far better than you ex. For the moment, i think is it hard for you to fall in love again. So, you can spend your time to do anything that you have interest in it. This really help you to forget someone becasue when you are busy, your mind are concentrate in what you a re doing now, and you will have no time to thinking about your ex. When times goes by, your hurt will ne heal and that time, you are ready to involve in love again.Good Luck!
