He had a strict criteria for what he wanted and a relationship would be. I kept thinking I could change or match or do how he wanted as I did love him and after several short break ups I realised I can't change
certain things about my life that he wanted me too so I let him go.
We just broke up and I don't really know what will or has become of him and doubt I ever will as he is a firm believer that when its over its over, no communication, friends
just done. | |

Yes. I loved MYSELF enough to let him go. It was the most difficult thing I ever did in my life.
yes, I did that, better let him go than end up in misery and doubt my whole life. He had doubts of having an older wife. after the breakup, I cared for him as any normal person would, but realize that friends were awkward with my questions when I heard that he had an accident. So, I cleared the social scene I was in, I changed circle of friends. He's now married to his best friend's cousin. | |

Posted: 3/10/2008 12:01:06 PM | Hardest thing I ever have done. After four years with a doubt I thought he was it. Then he came to me and said he loved me but not the way I needed to be loved. I let him go with out a fight and one last phone to wish happy holidays. Not one word back ever. You can Love someone, but to have that in return is the greatest gift of all. | |

We are now friend's. Occasionally, she hint's at 'maybe', but
long ago, I resolved that she will never settle and be happy with
me.
Different attitude's, similar taste's. Took some year's to resolve,
didn't happen over night, so move on in a positive direction. | |

Posted: 3/10/2008 2:32:54 PM | Yep, I've let someone go because it was time to move on and we were both headed in two different directions in life. It was really hard to do, and he didn't understand at the time, but realized it was for the best some time after. We moved on, and don't talk anymore because he decided it would be too hard to stay in touch knowing we once had deep feelings for each other.
Life goes on. :) | |

Posted: 3/10/2008 6:36:37 PM | | Yes...we became the best of friends and to this day we are! I wish him nothing but happiness, which he is still trying to find. And he wishes the same for me. There was a time I thought I couldn't live without him...and maybe I was right...but not in the way I thought. I'd rather have him in my life as a best friend, than not in my life as someone who loved someone else. | |

Posted: 3/11/2008 1:59:14 PM | | I loved him--wait, correction! I still love him--he loved me...but, we were both struggling to deal with too much at the same time. Unfortunately, our love was not enough to keep us together. | |

Posted: 3/11/2008 5:07:10 PM | | Yes I have...a few times. Who knows, they don't want to talk to me anymore. Or, the seperation was needed and time has passed and communication lost. And, at a certain point some people can't remain friends. It might take more time..I dunno, than maybe I will run into them again and would be able to see how they are doing. Otherwise, usually, when you let them go...you let them go. | |

Posted: 3/11/2008 5:56:01 PM | | OP, whats up with this... Ive heard this for yrs, I loved him soooo much I had to let him go.. gawd what a crock of doooooo..... just let me give you some food for thought here.. remember the wedding vows... "for better or worse, richer or poorer, till DEATH do us part" now tell me about the love thing again, cuz I missed something in the translation... If you left someone, you lost that love you had.. your love may have changed.. but it is not cuz you loved them that much...that is a complete cop out | |

Posted: 3/11/2008 7:25:33 PM | | Yes, I divorced my husband of 20 years over six years ago because he thought he could have a 'do over' with his first wife after they'd been apart almost 25 years. He's now in the process of divorcing her and wants to come back to me. I'm in 'wait and see' mode, with no expectations regarding him or a future 'us'. If your 'soulmate' stomps on your heart, do you forgive and forget? | |

No...not when it comes to romantic love....I am utterly weak as compared to your context of strong...and I've no desire, nor see any need or possibility...of that ever changing...
and I also think that 'if you love someone set them free'....'things happen for a reason'...'grant me the serenity' and blah blah blah stuff...is a bunch of crap too.... | |

Posted: 3/11/2008 7:59:17 PM | | Oh My, Yes I have. Met this guy in 1992, at the time we both lived in the same state, moved to Tenn with him in 1998, had a so called wedding ceremony in Sept. 1999 performed by a pastor friend of ours with this guy promising he would get the marriage license to him within a week. Weeks came and went and I asked him was he ready to get the license and he blew up, said in the eyes of God we were man and wife, didn't need that piece of paper. I already knew the answer but I asked about a dozen preachers their opinion and they all said RUN as fast as you can so I moved back to my home state in 2000. He still to this day tries to convice me that we are married in the eyes of God...I will continue this later, it's late, I'm tired but I could write a book about this. | |

Posted: 3/12/2008 6:15:34 PM | When I was very young I loved a girl and she loved me. We always rushed to be together everytime we had the opportuinty. Finally her parents found out about me and flipped because my family was dirt poor.
Finally I quit seeing her because their constant ****ing hurt her so much. It was hard to do, but after while I got on with life.
Later I seen her and she was married, our feelings were still the same, and we enjoyed a good talk and well wish for each other. | |

Posted: 3/12/2008 6:53:24 PM | | Yes. I am still in love with him. He was the love of my life and my best friend. We were so good together, but he needed to be near his kids and I couldn't move my kids. I talk to him about once every 6 months. I have decided that if he never comes back to me that I am okay with that. I have found it hard to find someone like him. Just haven't been happy in a long time. I am fising now and looking for a man who can fit into my life now and be a true friend. | |
