it doesn't make sense to hold on when there's nothing there.

One of the worst mistakes a person can make is to hold on to a relationship in which the other person just refuses to be present. We have to be willing to let go of relationships that don't make any sense.
If you find yourself in a relationship with someone who you wanted for so long,but feel as though there is nothing tangible for you to hold on to while you are in it, then there is no point in continuing the relationship.
Arelationship is built on a lot of things including trust, a true desire to be in the relationship with one another, honor, and respect. If youd don't truly desire to be with the person that you are with, or if the other person feels the same way both parties are inherently wasting their time. Be with who you want to be with, never make yourself stay where you don't want to stay, or try to force someone to stay in a spot that they no longer desire to be in.

If your really think that that relationship is not going anywhere then what's the purpose of holding on still, yes, you'll have to let go of the feeling of being in love cause maybe that's the only thing also that makes you stay. Sometimes, we really tend to overlook and over react towards things. We do stay in a relationship because we don't want to feel a feeling of regret in the future and the what if's is still there. What if tomorrow we will be okay, what if tomorrow he will change and so on.
But once respect and trust was ruined in a relationship, then there's no turning back. You have to let go or else you will bear the same pain and hurt over and over again.

The reasons for drifting apart should be considered first and it should be guiding the involved person in determing wether the relationship is worth continuing. Even if you love that person letting go, no matter how painful, would still be the right thing to do.

one thing's for sure is that do not waste time to love a person that never loves you in return. yes, we know that this is hurting but 1 hurt is enough when you enter into a commitment that will make you hurt for a lifetime. so better think of it a million times before being committed.

Oh, I definitely agree with you. You have to let go to make your partner happy. You can't be happy if one of you isn't happy anymore. In relationship, we have to respect one another. We shouldn't be selfish. We have to understand each other's feelings. Happy myLotting!
