Did you ever tried letting go someone that you love?

hi! MAy 25, 2002 when my first love got married so OUCH!!! yeaah i had to give up my hope that someday we'll be having family together. it was really painful but i have learned a lot for giving him up. i have learned to love, i have learned how to wait patiently even though it wasn't meant for me, i have learned how to be strong etc. i took it as a good experience so i could move on. i cried so much but at the same time thinking that maybe someone is there perfectly for me. May 12,2008 i got married. Thank God i have found the right man whom i will be spending with for the rest of my life. life is full of surprises. just learn how to embrace it..

its not easy to let someone go but if i am keeping him and we always fighting its useless and it does not work if i am the only one who love him/her so since i love him i want him to be happy so let him/ her free!

My brother's girlfriend had to watch my brother die with me. She was so devasted by it. She did not want to lose the man that she loved so much. She has to go to councilling and she cannot date yet until she gets over my brother. It has been almost two years since he has past away.

I'm going through this right now and I honestly have to say that it is one of the toughest most heart wrenching things I have had to experience. I have been crying non stop, depressed and going through the motions. But as I am coming to terms with it, I have been holding on to the saying, "that which does not kill us, only makes us stronger." It doesn't make the pain go away but it helps.

I'm 150% going through this right now and no matter how much i read, what is said to me, the advice i seek, nothing helps! Its so confusing!! I know he is genuine, he tells me i'm his world but isn't "ready" for a relationship.. essentially he can't get over the pain from our break up 5 yrs ago and its jaded him. I love him and i know he loves me but i can't remain in "limbo" any longer! i've accepted this is not in my control and i need to let him go i just dont know how! This pain is completely unbearable :(

I have been trying to release and let go of my best friend whom I've learned to love so much. I know that he loves me too, we exchange i love you's a lot before..six months has passed, he just isnt ready to be in a relationship but we do go out and enjoy each other's company. I enjoy being with him than with any other man. I know I love him, but he isn't is into me as much as I am into him.. How do I just let him go???

Yeah i know that verse and its the hardest thing to do. Just letting go is like next to impossible, at least 4 me. But i did let go slowly and i guess thats the best thing to do, he came bk too....so i guess i conquered the next to impossible step.

I would have to agree with you. It is not easy to let go someone you really love. As for me, I did let go someone a long time ago not because I didn't love him but because I want him to find the right woman and what he really wants in life... It really hurt at first but I manage to get back into my life... and I must say, I MET MY MAN after that... I can't thank God enough for giving him to me.. and I am so happy with him right now. I believe in a saying "God will give you someone you really deserve".... :) Cheers!

Yes I did, because holding on to someone whom I love but then never love me back is a useless and hurtful situation. It is really hard to let go of that someone particularly if I do love him very much but it is where my mind should take control. When we are inlove, we were'nt be able to identify what is right or wrong, we just continue loving them and in the end if its mean to be then it is, if its not, that 's the hardest time to take. I let go, I accept the hurt, I feel the weight of my sadness and mostly I accepted the fact that I cannot do something anymore unless he himself change. But times come that I completely forget him and found myself to be ready again to fall in love, and I can say I am happy he becomes part of my life, I do remember his name but not the love that I offered him.

yes...it's so easy to do especially if you reallly love that person sincerely...you can't think about yourself but for his/her happiness...letting go doesn't mean you lose that person but this just mean that you might not for each other...

yes, i've been through that. I had to let go off him because the woman who desperately wanted him and with whom he played along with became pregnant. We were then already making plans to get married, but the woman and her family were bent on making him to marry her instead. I decided to forego everything even though he insisted that we should go ahead with our plans. It was a tough decision for me to make because I loved him so much and he very much wanted us to hang on to each other. I knew then that it was a test for us. Sadly, I had to let go. It was a terrible feeling that consumed me but I never felt anger nor hatred. Despair and emptiness seared my heart to its very core. But I had to move on, and I did.

I would have never let them go. I will not forget them and will never allow them to forget me. This way .....

Economy of love: I think love is not only gaining, but its a kind of invetment in which u put yr emotions, harmoney, relationships etc. After some time yr love matures and it returns u faith, a person u can rely on.So if yr relationship are strong enough then let someone go but one will return someday.

yep i tried and then he came back but then went so i let him go but he comes back all the time lol i dont understand .. he just stops chatting to me... but comes back again this is not a good way .. well its not working for me .. cant figure out if he really wants me or not .. so if you let some one go NEVER let them back in :P hehe because they just FQ rite off again ..

i tried a lot of times and it is difficult especially if you love the person. Its not that easy especially if you have communication.

I regret to say your overall concept of love is not on the right track. The loved ones are not birds that you keep them caged. They are always free and as long as they love you, they ll be with you. If they dont, will you relish keeing them tightly close to you.You are nobody to let someone go and if someone you love goes that way, it was not love from inception.

Well i think its a bit of a test which is taken on both the lovers. In the past i have come up once to make this decisions, and it really worked for me. The pain that comes while letting go is the test. If you can survive and handle it with patience, you have passed the test, and you are a good lover. The one whom you let go, if that person really loves you will return back to you. Why? Because then she will know how much pain you have gone through in letting her go. And if she loves you she wont want you in pain and will come back to you once she realizes. When things like this comes in love, its actually time that matters. Give it time. And if she loves you she will return to you. Why to spend a life with someone who don't love you back?

I do it once, it really hurt me so bad. She's a nursing student and im an I.T. her parents was against our relationship because they want us to finish study first. If we will not let go each other, her mom will not support her allowance and school tuition fees as well. Since she wants to finish her study, i'll let her go for the sake of her studies.

I fell in love with a friend in college. Over Christmas break he found someone else. I was heartbroken but I truly wanted him to be happy. I knew she made him happy so I was able to let him go knowing that she was the the best thing for him and not me.

what if you loved the person a whole lot but it just wasn't meant to be? reason being he/she is way older than you? Besides the age factor, say you're a young person looking for adventure an that person's life is tied up because he/she has a child? well for me that sucks because we really loved each other.What would you have done?
