I am sorry for you dear. Remembering your ex sure a hard thing to imagine. Frankly that what happened between me and my ex too. The situation was she left me and i also can't faced her as for me saying goodbye face to face is really hard and better that done by other methods like texting or just call. Maybe that is the choice for a guy like me. As we gave all out when in love and when splitting comes, it really really hard to do.

LOL. i did. it took me long enough since i had this "jetlag" over so many unanswered questions. crying helps and also a lot of diversion. i thought i'd be a cynic. then i realized to give myself a break and respect myself more. how about you? coping stage is hell. lol

letting go it a harder than saying goodbye, I think. Letting go it mean that we are not the choosen one right ? and saying goodbye we are in the position of choosing than being choose

For me saying goodbye is much as harder as letting go. Letting to know the truth is just so hard to do,when you are bitter and when things are vague and not clear. I dont if I can accept a good bye letter. Before that happens of course I want to know why, there must be reasons for everything and a lette could not be enough. Letting go will just follow and that only time knows. I let time heal by itself, only when I am ready to face life and move on.

yes. it's really hard to say goodbye to the person you LOVE. I would rather let him go than say 'GOODBYE'

Letting go is harder. For me letting go is the end of it already. Why would your ex let you go? Have you always wanted your freedom? Are you tired of him trying to control your life and would complain even on the clothes you wear? If that's your attitude, well maybe he's already tired of your relationship. Maybe he cannot feel the need of you because in the first place, you act like you dont need him anymore. If a man let's you go, its your gain of total freedom, but not freedom from pain, guilt and suffering. If a man let's you go, it can also mean he loves you and only wants the best for you. But the thing is, he might not be the best so he will let you go because he loves you. Maybe If he will look into your eyes, he will just melt with shame of what he's doing so instead, he wrote you a letter. Girl, dont be sad. Maybe he's not the one for you.

It is hard uless you're shallow. Most of us don't like to hurt other people any more than we have to.

hmmm... what do you mean exactly by letting go? Giving up on someone you love? If that's the case, then it's actually the same as saying goodbye and getting him/her completely out of your life... I guess we could just say that leaving people or being left alone is hard. that's all. It's either the pain of rejection or the pain of being alone that make you suffer and almost kills you inside.

not really coz you see, you can let go of a person without saying goodbye. like for instance, your bf says it's over without having an introduction. sorry if you got confused with the post. but i hope you get what i mean. LOL. thanks for sharing angelOFdemise. =)

no, letting go. for it is detaching yourself for the one you love that even though how hard you try to forget the memories and the recent events will always haunt you compared to saying goodbye in which you are fed up and declared to end up

well, i mean, if he's moving on that way, the least he could do is say goodbye to me properly right? the hurt is even more knowing he's letting me go without saying goodbye. i don't want to be bitter about it but it's not fair. thanks grinjaguar. it's hard to start a new life too. a new life without him. =(

well, yes, if you really love the person but u have to let go or say goodbye its really hard. if i were in the situation that i really have to let to i dont know were to start or what to say. i guess its being emotional reason why it really hard, the feeling thats with in that you cannot deny. feelings dont go away over night, we have to still consider alot of this. there would be instances that everything wouls go back to you, remenizing the good time both of you had together... tougher...

yeah. i get that kind of feeling. just like sending your loved ones to the airport and when it's time to say goodbye, all emotions consume you and without knowing it, you're all in tears. now i know why most people considers airport as the enemy. LOL. thanks for sharing shlynx08
