What does " If you love someone you will let them go " exactly mean ?

[hurtingandconfused]

To me, it means let them go so that they can find their happiness. Even if it does not involve you.(person who let them go)

 

Being happy for someone who you truly love.

I think it is.. "If you love someone set them free.. if they do not return to you, they were never yours to begin with"

 

What does it mean.. Well I can only give my interpratation..

 

If you are with someone who makes the decision to end the relationship and persue other things regardless of the reason.. then you must let go of them and allow them to find thier own way..

 

IF they come back to you (and after you've gone through NC and whined, cried, bitched, torn up all thier photos and told all your friends what a jackass they are ) AND you still want them after the seperation of ways.. then they are yours (uh.. so to speak )

 

IF they do not return to you.. then you were sooooooo right about what a jackass you've told all your friends they are and you move on

well, i fell in love with my ex, and now that he's gone with anothre woman. i realize i'm not the one for him. i always have the feeling that we are friends. he means alot to me, but he doesn't even desire to call me. i feel the only thing he wants from me is sex.

 

i still have those romantic feelings, but i figure they will be gone soon as time goes by. he does not seem to want to call me and never really has. i don't know why he doesn't care about me or anyone else in his life. he jsut care about himself it's out of selfishness.i think with time things will change and i will lose the romantic feelings i had for him, but it's always in my precious memories. and i am happy for him that he found someone else, but i'll always be mad cause that bitch got my man instead of me. i'm so angry at him completely, and her somewhat. she knows he's a player.

 

i'll let him go, but i will always love him. but the thing that hurts is that for a long time now, i will be having feelings of anger and love, with him. and that i could never be with him forever. i wanted to be the one. well, i'm very happy if he's happy with his life though. that's one of the only things i wanted for him. to care about my baby.
