This is for all of those people that falls in love then suddenly realized that the love is not real and you need to let go for the sake of not wasting both you an your partners time. Falling inlove is the best thing that all of us can experience. Sometimes we tend to forget everything that surrounds us when were inlove.It makes us blind to see what is right and wrong and it makes us deaf to hear what we should hear.In short, anything can be possible and impossible when it comes to love. But happiness always goes with sadness. Theres no permanent things in this world except for changes. Though not all changes can bring us hapiness, sometimes it can hurt us. My question is, when it happens that you decided to broke up with someone that you love for a certain reason, what are the signs that you can bravely say that you already let go of the feeling? Your answers will be very much appreciated. Thank you! Happy Posting.

There is a very real difference between "in love" and "love". Knowing that difference and understanding what it means within the context of long-term committed relationships will save you a great deal of heartbreak. For example I love my husband, every day, every minute of every day. I am not "in love" with him every minute of every day. I fall in love with him over and over again though. Sometimes he can do things that make me angry, doesn't change that I love him, deeply; just changes that I am not "in love" with him at that very momement. But if you have truly discovered that you do not love someone, not just are not "in love" with someone there are certainly ways to determine this. 1. You do not consider that person in your decision making. 2. You do not have that persons interest in heart. 3. That person is no longer in your thoughts randomly throughout the day 4. You do not think about how you might improve the life of that person through your acts 5. Being with that person doesn't make you feel safe and protected 6. You do not value the opinion of that person There are plenty of others but those are the ones I can think of right off the top of my head.

Sometimes the perspective of age and experiences blesses us with insight.

Before i do experienced this kind of situation. And the signs that i can say that i need to let go of him is the answer came from the time itself. Time says we are not really meant for each other. Lots of struggles that says we are not meant for each others and whatever we do we never work things out. So i just accept it and i let him go. Happy posting.

There are no more tears to shed. I want to share this quote that I found a long time ago . . . . "You learn to like someone when you find out what makes them laugh, but you can never truly love someone until you find out what makes them cry."

I decided to break up with someone that I LOVED when I am too fed up or simply just tired of trying to be with him and most of all, trying to please him at all times. When I felt that I am no longer happy and there was no security or love in the relationship that was the time that I told him that things are not working between us anymore. He agreed as well and would like to have an open relationship (no commitment) but I disagreeā€¦ I told him that I deserve a better man which I found with my boyfriend right now and I am very very happy! Oh by the way, I never had the feeling of wanting to go back with him. Ever.

Some of the signs of falling out of love are: when you aren't thinking of him/her anymore.. you don't even miss him/her even he/she/s away.. you don't do the things you used to do before.. you can now do things on your own.. etc..

Falling and Finding your true love is a great experience. But how would we know if this is the real love were looking for? Sometimes there are certain things that we've done for the sake of Love and letting to go is the hardest part of being in Love.. But in some point if u felt that you're just wasting your time i guess that is the time you need to let go and find someone who is really meant for you... esp if the relationship is one sided Love...

I had this relationship then with someone who is no longer available and attached. Though, when we met, I also then have a boyfriend. In short we were both in a commitment, but he is in a legal bond. I was blind that I had to give in my feelings despite of the fact that my heart and my mind had been battling. My mind loss and gave way of my heart. After a year or so, I realized that the pain goes deeper and deeper that even my studies was affected. I realized that I don't deserve to be ruining my life and my future for him and decided to let go. I chose to moved on because of accumulated pain and destruction. What I did? When you are determined to forget him? You will be. I moved out to the place we always bumped in. I opened my heart into a new relationship without thinking of loving on the rebound. I focused on my studies and able to finish it. More than four years had passed since I let him go and I can say the pain he left in my heart is no longer there. I have not seen him since then, but in case we see each other one day, I can definitely say I could greet and talk to him with forgiveness in my heart.

Hello, eynjel05! Falling in love might be the best thing in the world. The problem is when the person doesn't fall in love back. Then you are going to be hurt since the beginning. Now, yes, it is hard to break up with someone you love. The feeling may stay for a long, long while. Might be months. Might be year. But you will know that you are letting go of the person when, when you go to your bed, you are not thinking about her anymore. When you wake up and do not want to fight for her. When you start focusing more on your own life and the memories that you have with her are not hurting you anymore. When you do not think about calling her anymore and when you do not dream of being with her again. Then you know that you are letting go of her. Respectfully, Munhozmib.

love is wonderful and yet, it can bring to painful. every single heart in this world needed love. regarding your question, i had once experience this kind of thing. she was my first love, and we were both young, i was 16 and she was 14. it was wonderful to get to know her, but after 1 or 2 months of our relationship, i could see her changing. and after i went to boarding school, the problem seemed much worser - when i called, she speak just few words, and if i went home for holiday (where thats the time i could use my cellphone), she always didnt repy my mssge. but i loved her, coz she was the first one. then, six month after i enterd the boarding school, i decided to clash. the feeling of not wanted to suffer anymote tht drove me. i wasnt so strong to do so, and i felt so awful after doing that. thank God, in a year, i managed to forget her, and now, im happy with my new lover. :)
