How many people think this is true. If you love something set it free. I mean sure I believe most of it but how do you set something free when all you do is think about it (her) and just don't want her to get hurt, but all you want in the world is for her to be happy. and you believe that no one can care for her like you can

I guess it depends who is doing the "letting go". Did you let her go or did she let you go and what were the reasons for it?

I am kind of going through a similar situation, my ex boyfriend let me go because he felt he was being unfair to me by keeping me around because he couldn't always be there for me. He felt it would make me happier by letting me go and in return would allow him to feel less stressed about trying to please me when at this time he is very busy.

yes I do agree with that statement unless yo know that that person is happy with you. I mean if you know you guys love each other and that makes her happy why would you let her go. now if that's not the case people should be selfless when it comes to a situation like this. if you love her that much you should want her to be happy despite how your going to be feeling. plus you should be happy because all you should want is her happiness.

Difficult, but I try an answer.
In fact I have the same problem right now and didn't decide what to do yet. First you have to discriminate between your hurt and her hurt. So here are the options:

1.Letting someone go whom you love but doesn't reciprocate will hurt you not them, so you should let go and break off contact completely, anything else would be egoistic.

2. If the person relies on you because you are her friend it gets more difficult. If you equal letting go with pushing away it will hurt both of you so that is not what you want. But sticking around is probably not healthy for you (at the moment).

3. If you do decide to stick around although you can't have her and it hurts then just try to support her when she is in trouble.

Can you say something on what your relationship is? Do you talk, were you together, dating?
If she likes you you can try pick

4. Fight for her and convince her that you are the best choice.

Hope that helped.

Usually that saying or whatever you want to call it is about when you are hurting someone more than helping, so if you really care about that person, you'd back off. It sounds like that isn't the case. Why do you think this is a "set it free" scenario?
