| Have you ever loved someone enough to let them go?
Posted: 8/6/2008 2:00:26 PM | | yes they wanted to believe all their friends and didn't want to commit 100% to the relationship they also had past relationship issues so for my sanity and theirs i had to end it even though i knew it would work if he would only take more time out for us and not others. it hurt but i had to end it and i see he is still single the only difference is he has his ex gf and friends on there do 'heart warming' testimonies on his profile which i'm afraid makes him look sad and desperate as he has obiviously gone crying to them and they have felt they just have to back him scr*w the truth just back him no matter what lol i am now dating and enjoying life yes i sometimes stop and think what if but you cant live like that can you. | |

Posted: 8/6/2008 4:40:39 PM | | I recently ended a year and a half relationship with a man I met here on POF. He is a great guy, big heart and loved me to death but I could not live with his lifestyle and he knew how I felt so we mutually decided to end the relationship. I felt it was not fair to stay with him when someone else could accept him just as he is; he deserves that. | |

Posted: 8/6/2008 8:40:57 PM | Yes...but in a different sort of way...my girlfriend was dying of a very rare illness and I did everything possible to keep her alive...never slept for a year...fought every issue to get her better health care and struggled to help her with every penny I had ...did my best to make her laugh at all times and ease her suffering...slept right beside her the last 3-4 months of her life in Palliative Care 22 hours per day...then when there was no more hope after saying she loved me I had to let her go fulfilling my promise to be with her when she passed away as I kissed her...the toughest part was letting go the last/final time before she was cremated...different than what most of you are talking about...still the worse type of letting go possible and harder to forget.

Posted: 8/6/2008 8:52:56 PM | I guess I could say I have, because our relationship was bad and she seemed really unhappy. What happened to her? Last I talked to her, she had said she would never find someone else like me, and she really wasn't even interested in looking  .
I think the hardest thing to do, though, is to love YOURSELF enough to let SOMEONE ELSE go. If YOU are unhappy, you should be able to let the other person go regardless of how they feel about it. That's the hard part. | |

Posted: 8/6/2008 11:15:58 PM | | Yes 1 and a half years ago. He was the love of my life. I loved everything about this guy. I knew I would never meet another like him. I would of done anything for him. We had the best sex ever. He went down hill when we split up and is still slowly descending. It is so hard to give up someone u love so much. We were on great terms when we split. He had a drinking problem and just could not slow down. I had to move on. Still waiting to find someone I have feelings for like that. | |

Posted: 8/7/2008 1:11:36 AM | Sometimes you can love someone enough to let them go. Cases in point...if you know deep down inside the relationship is keeping them from accomplishing their dream, then it's the right thing to do. Also, if you constantly fight with them about little things and it starts to affect each person's general health and well-being than by all means...termination is the only option for the relationship. If you know someone would be better off with someone else than yourself than it's a tough situation but it's also the way to go.
You can still love a person very much and make the sacrifice that will bring them the maximum joy in their life. | |

when the pain it took
to hang on
was far greater
than the pain it took
to let go."
My ex wanted something particular in life that I could not provide.
(Other women)
I insisted he go find that.

Posted: 8/7/2008 12:23:50 PM | OMG yes and i pretty much wasted 13 yrs of my life thinking that something was going to happen between us such as marriage or me moving in with him. We both lived in two different cities and we talked more on the phone than we did in person. I finally opened up my eyes and knew that he wasnt going to committ to me anytime soon. I know what youre all thinking, why did it take me 13 yrs ?
Well i always had hope but we always remained good friends and we still love each other no matter what goes on in our lives and i know i will always have a friend to talk to whenever i need one. | |

Posted: 8/10/2008 1:19:21 AM | | Yes and Yes I am going thru this right now. I met someone over a yr ago....we have been thru alot. He is younger than me and when we got together the children issue wasn't a problem because he had prostate cancer and couldn't have kids and I have been fixed. anyway, here it is 17 mos later and after having some tests run, his sperm count is up and his chances of having children are 80% compared to the 24% when we met. He wants a family so badly...I am going thru the change, and my chances of having anymore kids is not good. I love him so much it hurts. Adoption is outta the question, costs too much money as does the surragate mother thing. At this moment I am looking to move my stuff into storage, and finding another place to stay because I know in my gut I will NEVER be able to give him the children he so richly deserves. I love him, but I am letting go. | |

Posted: 8/10/2008 1:22:17 AM | Just recently. She seemed like my soulmate. The person I've been looking for for many years. However, she decided her husband was worth a second go, and I'm now left to find some other soulmate.
It was/is incredibly difficult not to drive over and see her, but she's made her choice, and I must live with it.
I don't regret falling in love. I also don't regret letting her go. I did everything I could to let her know how I felt and what I was offering. But in the end, it is her choice.
I really wish that she chose me, but she didn't. So now I'm still fishing, again.

Posted: 8/10/2008 4:21:05 AM | Yes did that once, and lived to regret it. Since then i have learn't that if it ever was to happen again i would take a chance next time. Learn't over time that life itself means taking chances. | |
