| Have you ever loved someone enough to let them go?
Posted: 1/3/2008 10:45:39 AM | Only one girl, as she was a dear friend of mine and though I loved her dearly, she just never looked at me THAT way... So it hurt too much to be around her regularly. Time has passed since then, but I still feel a pang from time to time when I'm near her (I met her 10 years ago, fell in love with her for 4, and have been distant friends with her for 6 just for my own self-preservation).
It's not easy, but at the end of the day I want to see HER happy, even if that's never with me romantically. But from time to time I do still find myself hoping she'll come around one day, or that I'll finally develop into the sort of man she's attracted to.   | |

Posted: 1/3/2008 12:33:15 PM | When one contemplates letting another go that's the beginning of going. Yeah, one has to be strong to actually do it but under the surface one also knows that there is NO other option but letting them go.
As 'acapellafella' put it:
I loved myself enough to let my ex go. : thumb up:
... suffice to say. | |

Posted: 1/3/2008 6:09:42 PM | If you truly love someone, you would be strong enough to want him to be happy - with or without you. My love for my bf hasn't been put to the test that way. Although I've grown to trust him a whole lot more now, I find it harder and harder to contemplate the idea of letting him go when I grow closer to him. (Whereas before when we just started dating, I actually encouraged him to date other women  )
It's alright to be jealous. But I believe love is strong enough to overcome jealousy when you surround the person you love with everything good you have. | |

LMAO... well I cant really respond to this but I will share my experience. In my experience when a woman wants to go... she FREAKIN GOES.... hahaha, I never really have much of a say in it. | |

Posted: 3/10/2008 2:10:05 AM | | Yes I have... As a matter of fact I've urged them to go because I've never been too comfortable with the feeling that I am interfering in someone's destiny or spitting on someone's spirit. As soon as I start getting the message that there's some resentment building or that we aren't walking the same road, I begin to detach. Inevitably, it hurts for a long time but eventually, I am able to remember the good times and feel blessed for having had them. I don't know what's become of them... I think the jury's still out on that one... | |

Posted: 3/10/2008 3:16:01 AM | Yes, it is. Now I am suddenly sad because he just told me in an e-mail that he still loves me and will love me forever.
I let him go because I would rather lose him to another woman than to death! | |

Posted: 3/10/2008 3:33:03 AM | Me: 24 and stationed in England.
Her: 21 and just out of her parent's place.
We dated seriously for the better part of a year and I got the orders to ship back state-side. Her whole life was in that town, she visited her parents every weekend, she was close to all her family, she had a budding career as a chef and all her friends were there. In the end I just couldn't bring myself to rip her out of her roots and drag her to my side of the pond. It would have killed the flower I knew and loved.
I still think about her, and wonder how she's doing from time to time even after all these years. | |

Posted: 3/10/2008 5:37:57 AM | | yep, i was with someone for about a year, he wanted to go to uni 100s of miles away.. none of us wanted a long distance relationship so it was either he stayed, because of me, or went, and we split up... i told him to go.. it hurt like hell and i was heartbroken, but i would have regreted making him stay. i loved him enough to want the best for him, with or without me.. it sucked, but im so glad i did the right thing. | |
