When is the the right time to let go of someone you LOVE?

I broke up with my first love ( going out for years) about 3 1/2 years ago. Ive been with my new (absulutely gorgeous) partner that i love and am going to be with forthe rest of of my life for 3 years now. The problem is ( this answer your question) that i think about the first love atleast once a day, when we see eachother we both hug and catch upon stuff but there still the butterflies hanging around. I dont understand why im not over him completely. Maybe we hangon to the memory of that person and the good stuff about you being with them becuase they are part of our past. Kinda like watching old home movies from when your a kid.

Regardless of the reason a relationship ends it hurts. Sometimes the powers that be decide that two people that love each other immensely can not be together for the rest of their lives. Sometimes one has to try and simply deal with that hurt. Even if you marry another your heart will always belong to the other person. Your heart consists of rooms in a sense. Each person you love has their own special room in your heart, their space. However the thing is.... if you loved, and that love could not thrive, that room never really goes away, simply you try to build a new space a new room for a new love... It takes time but it also takes faith that some things good and bad... especially bad happen for a reason. We may never know the reason and it sucks that it is that way but we don't really have a choice in such matters..

When the other person doesn't show enough commitment to meet me halfway. If I'm the one who always has to build and cross the bridge to get to him, then in the end I'll feel weary and angry and bitter. Better be single than be in an unsatisfying relationship.

It does hurt when you finally have to throw in the towel. It took me way to long to realize that when things just don't work anymore then it is time to leave. If you arent happy and you cant work things out after the first time trying maybe you should take a break and see if you still want that person. I know that it sounds hard but you can't try to fix something over and over again. Just take some time to step back and see how you fell after that.

When is the right time to let go of someone you love? There is really no right time for that because all is really up to you to give up on it. If you see things are not working for the both of you especially when love is gone or it's a one sided love then you have to let go. But letting go of someone you love you so much is a very hard thing to do but what makes it hard is that you on't know how accept and let go of things. You find it hard because you have given so much and you can't forget. It really becomes harder and with the things you are doing you are being selfish of your self and to the person. Love sometimes mean of letting go and moving on. You need to know that especially if you see that it's not worth fighting for. Give your self a chance. Think of your future. Broaden your mind and think that everything happens a reason and that we need to learn from that.
