PkyGirl Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 I didn't know where to put this so I just stuck it some place. I want to see what people think about this. I have read and heard two different things: If you love someone you let them go and fight for what you want. So my questions is, which one would you choose?

penelope13 Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Both: first you do anything that you CAN do, but if you realize there is NOTHING that you can do, then you let them go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raistlin Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 I have taken both approaches in the past, and both have worked (though ultimately backfired in the long run). It depends on the situation. If I feel that what I want is worth fighting for and I stand a good chance of earning it back, I will. If not, I let it go and if it's meant to be, it'll happen again.

Loki71 Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 I have tried fighting and all it seemed to do was push her further away. So I let go and now as of jan 17th I am divorced. So I I have yet to see which one works. I think you will get differnt responses from different people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franfran Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 I think if you love someone it is better to let them go. Show yourself respect, show them respect. I think fighting for something that you want usually doesn't work out the way you want it to...leading to more heartbreak, and the ex being pushed farther away.

kaoticbaby Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 the saying "if you love someone, set them free" is meant when your partner seriously does NOT want a relationship at the moment, or when they need a break. it means to not guilt them into staying with you, or trying to force them. let them go, because if it was meant to be then love will always find a way in the end (if you believe in fairytales....) i think you should only fight for it if you're the one who did something wrong in the relationship. if it is your fault, and you know you can fix it, then you should work on it and fight for it. however, if it was nobody's fault (or your partners fault) and they just aren't feeling the same way anymore, that's when you should let them go.

john4321 Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 well sometimes fighting does push people away, so be careful of that. my suggestion is work on yourself first, look at what went wrong in the relationship, and fix the problems in yourself. if nothing else you will be a better person. when you are a better person, try again with them, but be careful. never give up on love, but do not hurt yourself in going after it. good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
