How do I stop being afraid of letting someone go?

You need an alternate map that excludes them for how you want to live. I add guys I like to LinkedIn so I can contact them if I’m single and no options are on the horizon.
You dont get it. He is taking you for granted. He is attempting to control you and he is testing your limits.
You are acting out of desperation by begging him. He sees you begging and he doesn't respect you anymore, that is why he keeps doing that. He knows you will be there no matter what.
You are feeding the ego of an immature, self-centered person and you are harming yourself over someone who won't ever be able to respect you.
Leave him for your own good.
Going through this right now it is hard thing ever
You're in an emotionally abusive relationship. He's manipulating you with your fear of letting him go.
Unfortunately, the best way to get rid of that fear is to face it. If you live together and his name is on the lease/property, pack your things. Next time he says he'll leave you, brace yourself and break up with him.
He needs this wake-up call that it's not going to work forever, and you need a healthy environment
This is the same question I saw yesterday but different wording. Lack of self respect and worth is to blame.

Just do it…It will never be easy.
I recently learned a very important life lesson. True love is letting go. True love is freedom. Its recognizing that if its better for them, you will put their need before your own. I didn't want to let go. It still hurts. But their happiness is more important than mine. And I feel inwardly I've grown to be a better person as result
Here's a better question: Are you really letting him go? You have yet to discover if he has the balls to actually leave. Basically, you and he are playing chicken and he's counting on you to capitulate. Call his bluff and see if he backs down. If he doesn't - you're better off because adults don't solve problems by 'taking their ball and going home'. After that happens, you swing by my place :)
Realize that just about everyone is just temporary. Virtually no one (man or woman) wants anything lasting now a days. When you realize this you'll accept the temporariness of everything. And you'll just accept it as a reality that at some point your relationship will just run it's course and you'll have to find someone else new. Or you won't accept it and after enough guys leaving you you'll just start hating all men.
You have to start by coming to terms with the fact that your boyfriend's behavior is textbook abuse.
It's not fear of letting them go, it's a fear of losing a part of yourself. It's hard but you'll get through it in your own way.
Absolutely true words 👏 exactly what I am going through but I don't even know him anymore
Just don't forget who you are
That's so sweet of you to say but after five years I lost my self more than I thought I could
It's easy to do when you're wrapped up with someone you thought would be there forever, try to stay positive and get to know yourself again so when the next one comes along you'll be ready.
Thank you 😊 someone actually understands
Eesh. Control freaks are narcissistic and maybe a bit psychopathic. I’d break up slowly…just drift apart. Try to make him break up with you. Safety first tho with these fckers.
First try and you will see, u will be over it
my girlfriend is just abusive emotionally and mentally
Kick him to the curb. That's bullshit
He's not going to stay dumb ass. Get therapy
Pm me
