Lol...it didn't work for me, he kept going....now I'm starting over again...worse mistake I ever made lol...but you live and learn and hopefully you are given another chance with a descent man

If you love someone/thing, let them/it go...

This is true.

Love is not about our own desires, but about those of the loved one.

If a man loves a woman, part of loving her is being willing to let her go, so she may be happy. Not holding onto her, so he can be happy.

Not letting go is selfish, and true love is not selfish, but selfless.

All I am going to say is.....love takes time. I see many confusing lust/infatuation with love. There is a huge difference.

Sorry, but calling BS on what you just said. What ifs? Really? What if they come back because they are afraid to be alone? What if they come back because they have no choice? What if they come back just to use you for a while. You are living in a fantasy. Life is just a fantasy. Holy crap......Cafe!!!! You started this.

All I am going to say is.....love takes time. I see many confusing lust/infatuation with love. There is a huge difference.

What if they were with someone else, wouldn't they stay with that person because of being scared of being alone,everybody has a choice,But regardless where there at, who they're with or being single, true love finds it way back because would you want to be with someone else while still in love with someone else..if so than that person is just dumb

Nope, I would be alone until I healed and got over it. Have done this already. Takes time. Why would you cling to somebody/something that does not exist? Speaking of what if's, what if she gets married and moves forward with her life? Why put yours on hold? It may just be true love in your mind. Mean while, she is happily married, starts having kids, and is happy. While you are stuck clinging to a dream in your mind.

And if they come back, than that is true love...

Has anyone actually done this before and the person actually came back?

I mean your not putting your life on hold for that person.. If two people are meant to be they will eventually find eachother..

I agree with you and disagree with you.

Letting someone go to be happy, is loving that person.

So the saying, if you love them let them go is true.

The false part is if they return its meant to be.

Love is selfless, and when you let go, you're not suppose to be holding onto anything, therefore you're not waiting, etc.

I explained this terribly, but I think it's cause I'm too tired to explain it any better.

Op why did you do this thread? Are you planning to leave and take women back?

Lol.. A while ago, I wanted to take some time away from a girl I used to live with.She was very clingy all on my case leaving me no air to breath. B*tching and arguing and yelling everyday. I'm not going to put my hands on her, tried to yell back but what good does that do, so the best thing I can do is walk away. 2 weeks go by and she already dating a older guy at her job and now lives with him because she never been single. So he's a rebound, I was once a rebound also, she's over the break up and over me. So now were just friends that barely talk. It was like best friends becoming strangers.. I have no choice but to move on but I know if she ever came back and wanted to hang out, I know I would probably jump to it. She said she loved me before but I don't know.. That's all..

Okay maybe I didn't fully let go 100% I think it's just because she's in a rebound relationship with a guy that ain't her type and got 2 kids at that.She never been single so I'm thinking if your not happy being single,you'll never be happy in a relationship, so it's either she's going to rebound to another guy or back to me...

Why don't you watch yourself in the mirror and say to yourself "I am a wonderful man, I deserve a woman who loves me and stands by me" ...you need to love yourself more, take some time off and enjoy doing things, go on meetup.com (love that website!) and make friends! Follow the flow and be positive. You'll meet a woman who will just be there for you without doubts and without BS. Think how beautiful will be. You deserve that. But you won't have it since you keep settle down for women who yell at you, disrespect you, and in other words do not love you.

there is no such thing as love. it is finding someone you are comfortable with, and then hope they don't screw you over.

I think it's a crock of shit. If someone claims to love me, yet they leave, I don't want them back. My heart isn't a toy to be played with at your leisure.
