"If You Love Someone, Let Him Go"
Does this saying have any truth to it? Will he (or whoever you're letting go) come back?

That really depends on whether or not the person you are letting go loves you back. The "letting go" does hold an important significance, I think - You're showing that you acknowledge that they are their own person and have the right to make decisions for themselves instead of having another domineer their lives.
I really don't think its true for a relationship. As people stay apart, they becoming stranger then that love is gone?
The point is, that if you're actually meant to be together, they will discover this and come back to you.
If you truly love them, you will allow them to be free to find what makes them happy whether it is you or not.If they don't come back, then they don't love you.Hurts, but it would be selfish and immoral to have it any other way.
I have faith that it is true.
I wish it were true.
So far, no luck on that front.
They always come back - without a doubt (in my experience), but not necessarily for long. He/ she may just come back to make sure that leaving was the right choice in the first place. And of course there are occasions when it's the wake up call they need to realise how good they have it.
though you might get back together it might not be the same
I don't really believe that's true. There's too many variables that can influence both parties after the whole "letting go". Things change!
Idk if it's love, but he definitely keeps coming back...*lol*
I think it is true.
If he/she belongs to you, then he/she belongs to you (even if you have let him/her go before).
In my experience so far, it's been true. Then again, I've had unhealthy relationships in the past, so I can't say for sure. I can say that I believe it.
I have found truth in this statement, although the truth that results sometimes isn't what you intend.
I have advised people to let their SO "go" for an indefinite period of time, and have seen the relationship that results between the two people grow stronger. I've also seen the relationship fade to the point of friends or to the point that the relationship no longer exists.
Letting someone go is, in my opinion, a real act of love. What results from that act of love really determines what your relationship is made of.
Depends. Is your clinging or dominant behavior what's making them want to go?
If so, learning to let go can bring them back.
A big part of me believes that it's true and I'm going to keep believing it. If it is meant to be, then it will happen. If it is not, then move on.
:)
it's a nice idealism. however, if you really loved that person, you'd fight for them (to an extent, of course).
The question is not really if he comes back, I'm afraid. Just because you love him doesn't mean he'll come back if you let him go. Unfortunately it doesn't work that way. It's enough that you realized that he means more to you than to selfishly keep him caged. That is a love you don't get every day, and I hope that the guy realizes that, for your sake.
And if not, he doesn't know what he's missing, and you should find a worthier object of affection.
I let him go... that MF better NOT come back.
In my experience it is true. Those who don't matter won't come back... But the one that does, will.
I don't think it's true for me because he never came back to me yet..
It is true, from my experience. I'm not saying he'll come back - only that if he really, truly loves you, he will. I've been on both sides of the fence... However I also know some guys don't leave even though you let them go. :)
I just don't want to be away from him... :[
this is very, very, very true!
he let me go =[
at first I kept going back, and he wouldn't let me...
I knew he still loved me, but things were just not going to work out since he was on the other side of the world... with cancer.
It's been over 1.5 years,
I still love him, but even if he came back today
I'd tell him no,.
I love him, but I've realized that he needs to focus on work and school for the next few years...
I have faith that he's going to come back, once he's done what he has to do.
and afterall,
you can't tell if its love or not until you lose them,
you can't tell if they're the one you love most until you have something to compare to.
I don't know about that. But the letting go part truly stinks like no other. I keep telling myself that, then I go hide in a corner and gnaw on my liver in agony...
@xjuuuu@xanga - Uh.. that is so true!! but it still SUCKS!!! T.T
