Difference between letting go and giving up.

We can refer letting go in a relationship like you have a partner whom you give all the love that you have but it happens that he met another woman and fall in love with so all you have to do is let him go, while giving up can refer to a relationship and also in life's fulfillment.

In my opinion, letting go is more healthy than giving up. Giving up is done out of exasperation...as in giving up hope for the person to reform or change for the better. A wife who gives up on her husband's philandering activities may be done out of exasperation, hopelessness and bitterness. On the other hand, letting go is done after a thoughtful reflection that the relationship would not, and can not work...it is more of an act of sacrifice on one who is more sensible to make the decision of letting go which is a better option rather than holding on...especially if holding on would only cause more heart aches for the parties involved. I hope that I got this right.

Letting go is something you chose to do, giving up is something you are forced to do.

letting go is giving another chance or trying again while giving up is where we leave hope and dont try again

The 2 have similarities which would make them both confusing.. I think letting go would be something you are willing to do just for the one you love on whatever makes him/her happy even if it would contradict with what your heart feels.. While giving up is putting your foot down on the line and saying this time i's over, you've given sometime with patience but still you see nothing change. Letting go = sacrifice : giving up = surrender.

Wow! this a topic something I can relate =). But What I did was just read their responses and got something from it. In my case I'm not so sure haha. I felt like it's a mix. I give up for I don't think I can still imagine living with my husband anymore with his lies and etc. Let go for we both know we both love, it's just that we felt like we are incompatible and really wasnt able to adjust with the early stage of marriage =).. haha, we wanted each other happy maybe not with each other's arms but with someone else's. Actually, as of now he is still helping me with some of my needs in prepararion for my future even if we are already separated =).

For me letting go is better than giving up. To let go means makign sacrifices for the hapiness of the one you love.You've come to realize that if you really love the person then you are happy if he's happy. It is more positive than just giving up. Giving up for me means that you've done nothing and accept losing negatively. You give up not only on the one you love but Love in general.
