This subject just came up in my mind. What if one day your partner feel out of love on you but you still wanted him/her? Will you fight for it or will you let go?

hi airasheila! It is really a difficult situation. That is where the "Art of Letting Go" will apply.

I would probably give it a shot and make my partner convinced to save the relationship. However, if my partner really insists that this won’t work out. Then I will not push myself to be attached to that person because I know that it won’t really salvage the relationship. It also makes some people think that you are so, pity because you want it to work out even though you know that it’s tearing apart. If such would occur, just move on! And find someone who is more deserving for your love and when that time would come, then that’s the time you brag your new boyfriend/girlfriend and make your ex regret on what he/she did to your relationship.

Make sense, it also does give this notion of maturity most especially in dealing with relationships. Thanks for your response...

I think that is how a matured mind will do. Letting go is an art. An art that can only be possible if your heart and mind are in sync.

It will be like stabbing your heart all over again every single day! I don't think that it is even healthy to do coz it would literally drive you insane. Well, maybe you could not completely forget about the person, but to allow yourself to love that person that much is crazy! Why waste your time loving when that person could never love you back? Why not allow yourself to love another person who is willing to love you back just the way you want it?

Well, that was a success story for them. However, not all can have the same fate.

Time can tell if he really belongs to you. Setting them free is always the right thing to do. I have a friend with the same situation. She always have a soft spot for him. After 5 years they came across again and got married.

That would depend on the reason why your partner fell out of love. You gotta to the reason and I guess once you get to know why, you can decide whether or not to fight for that love or just let him go.

If there is no more love coming from your partner then its time to really let go.

Yes you are right. Coz it's senseless loving someone who cannot love you back.
• Philippines

You got it right! Better yet give your love to someone who deserves it and will love you back.

To be fair, I would try to get them back if I really loved them because I have been in that situation before. However, if I knew there would be no chance, I would just let it go and move on. I know it's hard but sometimes in life we just have to learn to move on :)

There is no harm in trying but forcing them is another thing. Been there a couple of times. Not every relationship will work out. Just let them know that you did your part and loving them without regrets.
4 Feb 13
Exactly! I mean, even if it would never work out, whats stopping you being just friends?
• Philippines

You right dankebab. Whats stopping you being friends - at first it's quite awkward but in the long run you will be the best of friends.

If the person I loved fell out of love with me, especially to be with someone else, I don't think I would fight too hard to make them stay. If you really loved someone, you couldn't fall for someone else. And if someone doesn't want to stay they won't. I tried to fight for someone I loved and it blew up in my face. I guess it made me cynical. I'm not sure. But I believe there is someone out there for everybody and you never know when your true match will strut into your life.

The good part there is at least you tried to fight for him. No regrets coz you did your part.

Although the scenario presented by you is indeed a 'tough one' to deal with, the truth is that perhaps, it would be better for you to let go. If you decide to fight for it, you will be using more ofyour resources which will not be appreciated by the other individual. Therefore, being practical, it would better to for you to 'count your losses' and move on.

Yup! It is really a tough one to deal with. As what I always tell my frieds that if ever you will be on this situation just give it a try at least once but if it will not work out then it's time to let go. Machine's get tired as well how much more a human.

no in order for you to love others you gotta love yourself first. Respect yourself and stop trying to chase something who wouldn't even bother to see inside you.

I agree with you bigmoney25. Respect.

Hello, there are different things on saying if you love someone you should "let go" or "hold on". In your situation, your partner has fallen out of love but you still want him/her, then you ask if you would fight or let go. The answer would be TO LET GO. As the song goes "you know I'd fight for you but how can I fight for someone who isn't even there". You are fighting for someone who does not love you anymore, have some time for yourself and let go. Except if the situation is different, if he/she would ask you to fight for her/him and you fight for your love then go and fight for it. You have the reason to fight but if your partner leaves you hanging then that's not worth fighting for.

Yup! Simply fighting for nothing. Thanks for your insights.

I think I will but not the "I want to you to love me too" kind of love. I think I will just keep him in my heart but I have to move on with my life and be happy too. I believe that loving someone is a choice too and to be happy with some other else is to free your heart form bitterness and anger. Of course I will fight but when I could see that it's not going anywhere I would just accept the fact that he has change of heart and there is nothing I can do for it. It would just prolong the pain I'm suffering within. Well as for me.. I need to free myself and move on in life and find someone else. At least this time I know what to do and how to do it. Every failure should suppose to teach a lesson and make us wiser.

You know what, if that person already fell out of love on you, you can still try to work it out. When all else fail then its the time to let go and move on...

Communication is important in a relationship. Yes, you're find ways to work it out. Both of you need to sit it out first and talk. Mutual understanding and respect is the key. If it will not work then move on.
