If you love someone, should you let them go? If you're hurting someone you truly care for, do you leave? Archtype · Sat Feb 05, 2005 @ 04:08am · 3 Comments

	Actually, I've rethought that question since you asked me last night, Chi, and I think I have a better answer for how I feel about it: If you really love someone, it's not so much that you let them go. It's more that they know that anytime they feel that they need or want to, they're free to go. You don't try to manipulate them, cajole them, or beg them to stay if they try to leave. Then, they CHOOSE to stay with you. You're not forcing them to; it's their choice. Honestly, it's a little sad to see someone so desperate that they feel they have to manipulate someone into staying with them. Why make someone stay with you if they don't WANT to be. Along those same lines, if you let someone go, then you truly LET them go. Don't let them go, then beg them to come back. In the long run, it just creates more problems and resentment. If, say, you would break up with someone because you feel they want out, then the best thing to do is to just leave it. Don't call them. Don't say anything to them. If they truly love you, they'll come back on their own. If they never contact you again, you'll know how they feel. Again, here's my example: If my husband truly wanted to leave, then I'd let him go. I would tell him as he left that I would always love him and I'd always be there for him, but I'd let him go. And, after that, I would let him make the first move. If he truly loved me, then he would come back on his own, and ask me to take him back. I live day to day with the comfort that every day my husband and I both CHOOSE to stick by each other, to love each other, to be there for each other. We make the committment every single day to continue to love and support each other. Neither one is forcing the other to do it; but we still do it anyway. hugs Hang in there! ^_^ Offline KylahD · Community Member · Sat Feb 05, 2005 @ 02:30pm

Loving you is like trying to catch the rain
