What is more appropriate, "to love someone enough to let her go" or "to love someone enough to never let her go"?

Question

What do you think? Which one is real love?

EpicDweeb · Accepted Answer

Both may be appropriate given a certain situation. It depends on their reason for leaving and on your reason for wanting to keep them around. If you love a person you do what's best for them. If someone else is better for them and you both know it, and she wants them, it's selfish to simply keep them to yourself. However if she doesn't want to trouble you and/or just wants to stop being a burden... well then you never let them go because they need to know they aren't a burden and that you love them.

Sword · Accepted Answer

To love someone enough to let them go and be happy, even if the person who makes them happy isn't you anymore. Doing this makes it even more painful getting over someone and I believe only someone who's really in love would be willing to do something like that to themselves.

The second one.. If the love is so powerful then nothing can stop them from being together. Show the person how much you love them what is their value in your life. Care and love is much needed in the world. Fight for them fight for your love don't just let go and think If it was meant to be it would have. No this is not some movie where the hero waits and she eventually comes back. U have to show why you need them. Always fight for someone

I met this guy 2 years ago. He was all i could have asked for, and we were both in love with each other. He entered a mid life crisis and he just asked for some space...
i gave him the space he asked for and I never saw him again.
If you really love someone, never let them go, because you will always regret it.

CurLyF · Accepted Answer

I think the "I love her enought to *let her go*" is cowardice. If you trully love someone, you will do everything in your power to become a better person for them. If you are not willing to change, than you simply don't care that much. That's what I think.

UnknownReflection · Answer

Both are appropriate according to the circumstances.

You have to love someone enough to be loyal and never let go of them during any conditions. But sometimes destiny puts certain conditions on the line that you have to let go if you really love someone because your present would do more harm than your absence.

Good Luck.

FriendlyDrugDealer · Answer

If you truly love someone with your entire heart, soul and being then you would let her go.

It's not easy but it's the ultimate act of selfless even if it feels like a millions of daggers to the heart, deep down you know you sacrificed your happiness so they can have a chance at being happier in life.

JudgmentDay · Answer

I don't believe in love. It's just hormones and chemicals doing their thing to reduce the chance of us dying out and avoiding reproduction all together. Everything else people also claim or call "love", I view them as emotional attachments or deep emotional attachments or even emotional dependency.

ashley1996 · Answer

Tricky. I believe in the saying "if you love someone enough and you let it go, if it comes back they were always yours if it doesn't they never were." I also believe that as a person you would do anything you possibly can to be together with the one you love. If you love them you'll fight to be together.

To love someone enough to let her go

ComplicatedSoul · Answer

The first one, assuming it's not over something petty.
I think you give your best, and if it doesn't workout, it's more wise, and better for both of them to move on.
Denying reality doesn't sound healthy. Not that I am pro at doing the first,

Both. The first hurts more. The second is best but isn't always possible. But if the relationship was good you can trust they'll come back
