emmaline: yes. an ex partner. he needed to search the world.

better for him to go and spread his wings, than for me to be selfish and think of my needs.

would never do that to a person i loved.

isnt love about sometimes about certain sacrifices?
great thread sassye


agreed.

Yes

Was very sad. I lost communication with her, but I think it was the right decision. I really hope I was right.

Yes, when something do with force then it won't last for long. Better to both of us to separate. Wish now he find his happiness

grogory: Yes,

This would fall into the category of "unconditional Love"
Most people, and I mean this politely, will never know
this feeling.

I make it a habit to never stray to far from cause and effect.
Some lovers are much better off to break up even though they love
each other dearly.

Speaking through example, do you really think that you pet
lizard enjoys his cage much more that the beach it came from?

agreed. Letting someone go BECAUSE you love them is differnt from letting them go because you fantasize about burying him alive in your garden. The first is much much harder, and takes real strength, will and love, that is not only the usual romantic man/woman BS but even deeper and eternal.

sasyecats: I watched Butterfly Effect again...

have you ever let someone go because you thought they would be better off without you?
I don't watch many movies or the tele except for news, so missed seeing the butterfly effect. Good side of the coin I can watch an old movie and it will be new to melaugh

Yes I have let someone go. I know I did the right thing. I thought with my brain and not my heart. He knows why. And I will see him in passing once in awhile and he will ask have you changed your mind and I will tell him a hundred times blues Doing the right thing in life is not always funcrying

Not exactly, but I let them go because I thought they were convinced it was better for them due to the lies of somebody else.

yes I have. I was wrong, but at the time I felt it was what was best for him

not sure I'd make the same choice tho if I had to do it over again
