depends on the situation as to why you need to prove your love. you fight for someone if you know that someone is also doing his fight for you. you will let go of that someone also if you know and feel that, that person would be more happy and would get out of life more, if you would set him/her free. there would only be a relationship if both of you agrees to have one.. then go! do your battle in his/her name... but if goodbye is needed, then if you do love him and all you wnat to see is his happiness by all means let him/her go... people come and goes in your life, some remains while others lingers more than you expect them to.. its your choice if the battle is worth the fight or if his happiness is all there is to it, like if he is happy then you would be happy as well... i say this to you, id rather fight knowing in the end he will catch me if i fall, and fall hard, rather than id fight for me but he would just let me fo right in the middle of it all... :D

Deciding when to leave a relationship is one of the hardest things to do, particularly if you're more like friends but you just don't love each other anymore. I think that one of the most common reasons that a relationship ends is because the two people no longer feel as though they're in love, and they just feel as though they're more like friends instead. This happened to me once, and it is much harder to end a relationship for this reason that it is to end it because one of you has done something that isn't good towards the other.

If I know that the guy is sincere with his feelings and he only did it once, I can forgive him. But if he does it again for the 3rd time, I can say that it's time to move on. For me I cannot tell if the guy is telling the truth, so I also do my own investigation.

That depends on each situation. If you feel that it's worth fighting for, then fight for it. Love needs to sacrifice, that is why some choose to let go-which is another way of loving someone. For me, I let go of love when there is no more respect left.

I guess it all depends on the couple and what they want to do. If they both love each other and think their relationship is worth fighting for then they should do that. If they don't want to work it out then it will probably end. But most relationships will face ups and downs and if they can make it through those times it can make them stronger. This can draw them closer together. And a relationship shouldn't end because a person wants to be with another person because the other person that they start dating will have flaws as well.

If my partner is worth fighting for and if i know that he loves me, then I would do so but if I find that my love is no longer reciprocated then I will let him go. I would not want him to suffer for my sake and I certainly would not want a relationship where love in only one sided. I may find it difficult to move on but that is what love is, knowing when it is the right time to let go of someone you love.

I think it all depends on the situation. Like for example you love someone but he or she is already in a relationship and he or she is happy then you should let it go. I don't think that anybody has the right just to barge in a relationship. I think that will be pretty selfish. But if you are already in a relationship but things are not going so well then that will be the time for you to do what you want. To fight for the relationship or just to let it all go.
