if you truly love him, let him go....

I don't agree with the saying "If you love someone, let them go." If two people are in a good relationship, then they'll be able to communicate with each other. If one of them has a problem or if there's a problem with the relationship then they will both want to talk it out with each other rather than run from the relationship. If the other person doesn't want to talk and work on the relationship then you wouldn't have much of a choice other than to let them go, but I wouldn't hold out hope that they were going to come back. "I need space" is code for "I've met someone else."

Hello there akotalagato! I believe giving your partner's space won't do any harm, after all he just wanted to fix his problem and have more time to think about the wrong things that are coming on your ways. I think what your boyfriend wants to happened is to just figure out the possible solutions to your problems... He just doesn't want to hurt you by not giving you the right time and attention. Let the heat cool off for now. Just make him known that you are giving that space that he needed because you love him and wanted to understand him. I am sure, you don't want to suppress him or either suffocates him in any ways. Leave your doors always open, if he needs advice he must feel he can approached you freely. Who knows, if you break it off today, you will be together again forever. That is not impossible, as you said you both love each other much! Two people loving so much, whatever hinders their way-- they will still end up together. Good luck and be happy.

Sometimes, it is easier said than done.. And it would take that courage for one person to finally decide to let go.. I believe in this saying, however.. You cannot expect me (like for instance I am in the situation) to do it immediately.. It may take some time to reflect on things..

the question you ask implies the existence of predestination. there is no proof that anyone is meant for else. in reality , there are many people who can meet your needs, and the only way to find one of them is to remain open to the possibility so, it's not about letting go. you want to be happy and you should want someone you feel strongly for be happy as well. if that person isn't happy with you, then screw em' and move on with your life. don,t be looking for someone come back. it's fine if they don't. mean while you stay on the watch for someone else and if you find him, enjoy your life

For me, a guy who ask for space is a guy who has another affair other than his woman. This is the common lines guys stresses out every time they have another affair. I want space, I need time to think, I am immature for the relationship, I don't deserve your love, if we are both truly meant for each other I will be back and so forth. It's a disgusting and scratching lines. When I hear this stuff. I should let him go with wide open arms. Its not because I have love him, its because I love myself now than him. Because in due time, the pain will be more hurting when you know the truth or the reason behind this.

I agree that sometimes people need some space. Because that space will that person kwon what he really wants. Because sometimes staying in a relationship while there are a lot of things in your mind may just hurt the two of you. Maybe the person who is asking for space doen't want you to feel the pain the he's experiencing. It's hard to let go of course that is a fact but how will you hold on if the person you're holding on too is letting you go??

if letting go woill be the only choice that,s left for the two of you why not??? why sacrifice yourselves now and try to reconciliate if in the end it would all be in such waste??? letting go doesn't mean getting out of such responsibilities. letting go means freeing one person who can't be happy satying with you

I believe in this saying, "if you love someone let him go and he comes back then he's truly urs or meant for you". In a relationship, it takes two to tango, things will work if the feelings and decisions are mutual. Its not love if u force the other person for the thing he don't agree or makes him happy anymore. Painful, yes it is, but its love, there's always a happy ending and a sad ending, pain and happiness etc. Love is not always a happy feelings. Sometimes you really have to feel the pain in order for you to open ur eyes and understand things around you. Letting go is the hardest part in a relationship, no matter how much you love the person if that would make the other person happy you just have to let it go and if the relationship is not even working anymore then its time to say goodbye. Its more painful to see him in your arms when his eyes telling you to let go, he's with you but he's mind and heart is not yours anymore, its better to let him go. Its better to see him happy away from you though it hurts but your heart would find peace within you coz u did the right thing. its not bad to fight for the love u believe but make sure its mutual, two way decision not just you. its difficult and painful to fight alone. If third party is not the reason then you just have to give him space, sometimes giving space making your relationship goes stronger for the 2nd time around or your partner would realize the right thing to do. I'd been to a wonderful relationship, i may say it caused me so much pain but i was able to moved on with my life with acceptance and hope ahead of me. I temporarily shut down my system, i even forgot to smile, hang out with my friends and even forgot myself but mths after that i was able to recover and smile to the world that the mutual decision we did was the right thing to do. We still talked through net and we're both happy with the path we went through, though the path that we chose didn't met our ways still on that path we somehow found peace and our own happiness with the partners that we have right now. we somehow looked back to those days and we even talked about it, we just smiled and say thank you to each other for the wonderful memories we had that we could treasure b4 it gave us a marked of "nightmare." goodluck.

if you real love him ,you shoudl let him go ,and if he real love you ,and he 'll come back to you ,so don't worried about this ,in my inside ,I awlasy think if this love is true love ,nobody can not separate them ,no matter where he go ,he awlasy know there is a girl waiting for her ,maybe he real need time .if this true love and .he 'll know she is important for him ,and he 'll come back her

hello, true loves finds it's own way. sometimes when you see each other again or cross paths or when you find some one else new and better than the one who used to loved you. i think it's better to let go of that person if he/she doesn't consider you as her friend in helping her/him out with problems. it hurts at first but in the end, you know it ain't meant to be.

For me, I believe that love always finds a way. If the two lovers were separated over a period of time it doesn't mean that its impossible to be back in each others arms. Personally, I have experienced a long distance relationship for 2 years. It is very hard, often times I wanted to give up. But if trust the one you love you will never feel insecure or get tired of the situation. Letting go for the time being maybe a way to test your love for each other. If he/she returns then you are truly meant for each other.

If his problems are really a hindrance in a relationship, then I will let him go because he is the one who is moving out of my life. I will give him all the time he needs to think and hope that he will come back to me if he really loves me.

Sometimes, letting is all about dignity. When you know that this man doesnt love you anymore but still refuses to let go, you are loosing your self respect. If you love yourself more, this is the time you think you will have to let go.

Letting go sometimes makes a person think your worth. Let go and give him space for him to think over and if he still loves you.He will go back and cuddle you for the rest of his life. Give him to think and don't hesitate to let go if he ask for it.

I believe in the letting go thing, but not the coming back portion of this well known phrase. If things are not working out and your relationship is making you unhappy, then by all means let go. But of you believe that there is still a chance for both of you to work on the relationship and make it better then stick it out. Now for the coming back portion, people come back in your life if you allow them to come back. If you have very bad memories or feel that you both will be better off as friends then you can let that person back in your life, but as what it all depends on you. If he says that he needs space, then it might be good for both of you. But if this time out that he is asking for is because of someone else, let him go and never think that he will come back.

Maybe at first, it will be very difficult for me to accept his decision.. But I got my pride, I usually put a deadline.. If there's a slim chance for him to come back or even have a word with me in 3-5months, then I'll move on and date somebody else. I just don't want to waste my time on someone who doesn't really really care for me... I have the fear of looking ridiculous, the reason why I think this way..

i believe they really need space if you are having problems, there is something wrong in thier relationship and they should take time out to decide if they want it to work out or not. Love can be tricky and when love and personalities clash, it can be a disaster,your best make is one you like

I will let go if he wants to move out and need space. Because I believe that if he really loves me and he was just need space because he was confused then I will give it to him. Because I believe that if a person loves, he will realize when you are not there with him.

yeah sometimes if you truly love someone you have to let them go, because it's whats best for them. Maybe they have a career or dream that you are in the way of, something like that.

At first I must try to konw why he's gonna go.He falls in love with another girl,or just because of the two person's prombles in the relationship.If the reason was the first I would let him go,If not ,I wouldn't let him go.
