"If you really love someone, let them go" is it really true?

No, I do not believe on that...But, It still depends on the situation... If He still loves me, then I win fight for him...But If he is already the one asking me to let him go, then that is the time I will give up.

I think it just depends on the situation. But alot of people say seeing your love one happy, will make you happy.

The only experience I have had with it was when I did it and have regretted it ever since. I firmly believe that we both would have been better off in the long run if I had been more persistant and tried harder to hang on to her rather than following that old adage when she broke up with me.

well someone tried that and he did regretted it...I'm married now but he still wanted me back...

i haven't experienced like this my friend,but,if u ask me about my opinion,well,yes i will let go.If after all the efforts and best i can do i can't let him stay with me or love me,then,i will let him go and find his true love.I would rather set him free rather than loving him but i know he loves someone.It's a matter of loving him and self respect. Besides,how can i be so happy seeing him sad and longing for someone else.

now you are on the right way dear.....wondering is the best part of love life...if you really love some than you know the advantages and disadvantages of being with them......so you know what is right and what is wrong and you work according to those circumstances..if you think that this could be the best way than just follow the heart and do whats is the need of time..

yes it is true... co'z if u love someone u need to learn to let them go when u can feel that his not happy being with u anymore..

I believe this is true. But in some cases, sometimes love is selfish too and we can see some people making hasty decisions in times of panic and need. Like losing someone through a deadly illness, watching them wilting away, the heart feels burdened to let go. And wishing for that love one to survive and even to a point where the love one itself confesses to slowly let go mentally, but with refusal of the mind of the healthy one. I feel that love is priceless and to have come to chance upon it is just a lifetime opportunity. I have known what love is like, feels like and to have it taken away too. I still miss this particular someone but I know that I can never be with her again. Love can be any types of love, it can be love for a parent, love for a friend, a love one and many more. And when love needs sacrifice, there's no other decision except to abide by it. Good discussion here, thanks for sharing, Nir..

well that is if your love is no longer happy bein' with you or if she wants you to set her free... you can't do nothing about it, you'll just keep fooling yourself that she loves you and aside from that she'll only be prolonging the agony if she'll continue your relationship... let her go boy... :) fortunate for me that i haven't experienced it.

ok this phrase is miss leading. If you really love someone, then let them go and if it was ment they will return. Look if you love a person you fight for what you belive you have. If the person dose not feel the same as you do then you should let them go because you would be living a lie. The part about "let them go" mean that you love them enough to allow the3m to be happy in what ever choice they are free to make. so this phrase is real but you have to understand what it really saying. I mean... you have to love them so much that you put them first.

I think that's is true, if he or she is you love, come back .

Definitely very true....what good in unrequited love? And what good is forcing them to stay? It is painful but yes.....time does heal.

It is really a sad decision and need courage...But some times there is no other choice except let it go.. better for both.. I just break up with a man. Before the last moment, I felt living without him would be very very terrible, but after it, I just feel so good, cos my heart can live in peace now, no suffer anymore, I can breath feel free, relieve

I've never experienced it before, but I can tell you that it's true. This happens when someone is on the verge of a break up - going separate ways. One refuses to let go of the other as the other is ready to leave. By not letting the other person leave, you're being very selfish as you are only concerned about your emotions. This is not what love is about. She (I'm not gender-biased) wants to leave, let her. You could at least still be best friends though living miles apart, and one day, you might be together again. Love is not only about mutual affection between two humans. It entails sharing happiness together; it's about sharing responsibilities and making decisions that create happiness for both of you. A break up is not a joyful occasion, but if you really love your partner, then you need to let her go so that she's happy about it, and you can be happy too since you could still see her. I wonder if I make sense :)
