Is it time to let go?

You say you love him.... he'll change for the better... just be a little more patient.... you can't imagine having a life without him.... BUT things just don't seem to get any better, no matter what you do. Do you feel like you're stuck in a rut? Is the relationship going anywhere at all? So what DO YOU DO?

I will hold on. That if i really love her. I am willing to sacrifice for her. If she don't love me anymore, I'll let her go but I will still love her and will always be with her in times she needs me the most.

I agree your ipinon, if you really love her, even if one day she leave from your side, you shuld remain your love and prayer to her for ever.

I've been there myself and I had left twice til' he came back to me saying he was sorry and would change. I kept going back cause I loved him and thought it was harder to live without him than it was with him. Then we had three children and I realized my mistake that I should have left in the beginning. I was not happy at all and after having my children I didn't want to break up our family but after a 14 year relationship and three children I finally seen my children were not happy either and finally made the move and have been seperated for two years now and am finlly really happy for the first time in years so I strongly suggest if he don't change in a short time you are better off leaving no matter what he says rather than living unhappily with him for years and wasting your life on something that never was. You deserve someone who will love and understand who you are and respect you!

Love is when you are with someone you don't want them to leave you and when you are apart you wanting nothing more than to be with them!!!!

Took me several years to realise that I should of left a long time ago. It's hard when you feel for someone so deeply and you think they will change, but it just either stays the same or it gets worse. Sometimes you don't even know how to get out and luckily enough I had a great friend that helped me to get out. Now I am married to a wonderful man who loves me for me and vice versa.

I don't know why we all hang on to something we know we're better off letting go. It's like we're scared to lose what we don't even really have. Some of us say we'd rather have that something than absolutely nothing. But the truth is, "To have it halfway is harder than not having it at all"..

in a relationship you need to give love, understanding, time, respect and patience...but a relationship should always be give and take...and if one of you don't want to give or adjust to show love and care for you and for the relationship things will just get worst.... let go

What I DIDN'T do was get out soon enough. He was the one that left me, a week after he beat the cr@p out of me. I shouldn't have stayed so long but I thought he would change. I also didn't want to be deemed a failure. But once he was gone I held my head high and moved on. It was then I realized how much better off I was without him.

Someone just cannot change no matter how long you wait. So it is better to let go than hurting each other.
