    Do you believe on this saying:
    Honestly for me, I wouldn't go for it. You may think that Im a selfish person but I really cant do it coz that's a very difficult one. I'll always fight for my feelings no matter what happen. What about you?

    the thing is letting go is fighting for it without the fighting
    if your allways holding holding restricting there will always be that urge to break free
    loving enough to be willing to let go will keep the love being love & not hatred or even fear wether or not the relationship continues...& the relationship will continue if its meantto wether u force it or not but it'll be alot more confortable & ez if its not so overly drammatic & always fighting for something that should just be there ... hope that made lil sence

    Oh I have been trying to get my head around this for years...

    phew.....

    Yes I believe if you truly let go of another and cut the ties...they are more likely to come back to you than if you try to hold on tight...

    Difficult lesson...but a valuable one, worth learning..

    I totally believe in the saying, but sometimes its hard to live up to, but yanno currently in an open relationship, and jealousy and my possessive nature sometimes makes it hard work for both of us, but I totally know that if I tried to tighten the reins he would run in the opposite direction

    ...Never "let go" for good. Just let go and watch.. and wait... wait for the time when whoever it is realizes that you are what they want but never let go... Love is too special to just let go no matter how strange of difficult things get

    I think going into a relationship keeping this attitude is better
    really just a willingness to let the person be free, who they are
    I want to date them not my version of so should she be a pious religious woman or a sex fiend, its all a trip just different clothing go with it
    peace

    Loving someone isn't just about your feelings, it's also about respecting the other person's feelings. No matter how much you fight for your feelings for the person, if he doesn't want to be in a relationship you can't force him to stay. Now, if both of you are willing to fight for your relationship, then hold on. But if you're the only one fighting, it's time to say goodbye. Difficult? Hell yes, extremely difficult. But whoever said love is easy?

    wow - I'm deep in the middle of this question. I was with somebody for 2 years and now our lives are changing a lot ... and we are changing. We had something really wonderful, but each of us was giving too much, in different ways, to keep the other person close.

    If love is not real, no amount of holding will keep it there. thus if love is real, and you don't hold, it will survive. What can make all this extra hard is if there has been a lot of hurt - it may be impossible to see that there really is a good love underneath all that.

    the real thing to realise is it shouldn't even be a matter of "do i let go or not?". you don't have the right to control them. if you love them, let them be where they want to be....otherwise you're treating them as a possession for the sole purpose of satisfying YOUR needs. that's not love, that's just selfish.

    If you love someone and they don't love you--let them go--honestly.

    If someone loves you and you don't love them--let them go--kindly.

    If someone loves you and you love them--let them go--because you'll never need to.
