I've been in a serious relationship for four years. I thought that she would be the one for me. We had so many beautiful shared together, everythings seem to go well..Then, one day we just decided to end the relationship..We believe that its the best thing to do..The reason we parted ways is because of our statues in life..She's rich and im just an ordinary guy..I find hard to let go..We still hve constant communication..So, i just want to ask your opinion..would you hold on or would you let go?

Holding on and letting go is your only choice. For me, the reason of your break up is so shallow. Sorry for being mean, but it's true. Status in life never hold an account on your relationship. Why do you care so much about that when in fact you can do better and let it be the inspiration for you to strive hard? Then you find it hard to let go? why let go if you really love the girl? Lemme ask you this, for 4 years you haven't settle that issue? Why not settle it first then you decide whether to let go or not. Hope somehow I've helped you. :)

You know what in a girls perspective you are getting selfish that way. You don't think you can give her the life she deserve but didn't it ever occur to you that having you is enough than having that high status in life?

Frankly, I think that's one of the stupidest reasons for ending a relationship. What does status have to do with it? Get her back or you might regret your whole life, thinking what could have been between you! You would live miserably. You had everything and you just let happiness slip away from your hands? I would definitely hold on and wouldn't care what other people think. What matters is that I'm not doing anything wrong and my partner and I are happy.

hi prism10568, Status is not issue in a relationship there are stories that the other one is rich and the other one is not so rich but the relationship lasted because they don't let this issue be a hindrance to their relationship. If you really both love each other try to work this relationship Goodluck and happy mylotting

to say it plain/straight: you made that decision because you can't live with the fact she is rich and you are an ordinary guy who has nothing to offer to her. Since you see it that way it's a wise decision. If you think you have nothing to offer you have nothing to offer so it's useless to try. You better go on with your life and be someone.

If you have any doubt in your mind whatsoever you must let go. Doubt is the first thing that warns us and you must listen to what that voice is telling you. As I read your article I felt that the relationship had grown stale and that there was not much going on. I know of several poor boy/rich girl relationships. It might take some time but eventually it's going to end. You know why? Because a man feels bad if he is not in the same class as the woman and doesn't have her kind of money. It's a crush to his self-esteem. There will be feelings of insecurity and not being good enough. You can remain friends of course as then there is no obligation, but be sure you can handle it. It just may be better to move on.

I think it stinks that it is your statues in life that separated the two of you. Sadly, the way it is in a lot of places, it matters. I don't see why, after you were in her world for a while, you couldn't have found connections to get you a better paying job and statue in life. It would be a better reason if you were both bad for each other, if there were more serious problems. This will be something you will always wonder about and possibly regret for not staying together.

The issue of status should not come in your way as this was always known to both of you and you still continued. Why should it now affect you ?

Like both of you agreed to break up? I mean if its about her being rich and you being ordinary thing, you can't work hard to keep her happy all your life? If she's the one, you'll be happy with her and you would have satisfaction for everything you do for her and your happiness and to be together. Like somebody said, "if you are born poor it's not your mistake but if you die poor, it's your mistake".If you and her, both love each other, then letting go for something that some other people will say, think, not good and really hurtful. Take a strong decision before it's too late. All the best!

Sounds interesting. It's like fairy tale. Well, for me I will hold on it. You love the girl right? If that love can conquer all the hindrance of your relationship the go for it. Real love only come one's. Dont let her go.

That is so sad. I believe in fate and if it is meant to be it will be. I also think it is a shame to end a relationship over status. To me money, age and all the stuff in between does not matter when it comes to love and happiness. If you are ending it because of something as that and it was a joint decision and you know it cannot work out then let her go, but if you think it can work then maybe you need to talk to her about it more. Do not sell yourself short, money does not make the person, and calling yourself "ordinary" because you are not rich is not true. You obviously are a good person if you dated her for 4 years. She obviously saw something in you to care for you and stay that long. I do not know the entire reason for you guys to end it but to me you guys still need to talk more. If you do stay apart then let her go and move on, as hard as it is. Time heals all wounds.

we need to understand that some people same short stay in our lives, some are for for months and some are for years and some are for lifetime. we should not try to have every relationship for lifetime because it is not possible but if we have good chemistry with the person and want to spend our life with him or her then we should give time to understand each and other and to understand "can we be together for lifetime?" ask few questions to yourself and you will get the answer. do you really love each other? does your parents know about it? if no, will they accept your relationship? what are the hurdles you have and can you conquer them? etc...

if you both still love each other, why not just continue that relationship. in my opinion, rich and poor is not a reason to end the relationship, the happiness is not the only measure of wealth but that's the most important togetherness
