If you are in a long-term relationship, it is hard to let go. Right?

I just guess that when we are engaged in a long term relationship, it is really very hard to let go. It is never easy to give up on the times and the memories that you have. Right?

Yes long-terms relationship is just so hard to let go because it is just like giving up half of your life. Nevertheless, there are some decisions which although painful will come out to be the best decision you have ever made. At first it will be really painful but later you will realize that life is even much worth living without him/her.

Long term based relations depends upon the thinking of the person who involve in this relations .minded persons may give the new heights for their long term relation, if we have the good character and the mature mind we carry our relation for a very long term.

Having to let go after a long term relationship is very hard to do because you do have those memories and history. I actually had to let go of a 4 and a half year relationship and it was easier to let go than I thought. I thought I would never be able to move on. After I cried my eyes out each day, the tears started to fall less often.

I am in long term relationship as well and I could really imagine how hard it is to let go. Hope it won't happen to us.

i don't know if you will consider 4 years to be a long term relationship but right now, I am having a difficult time in moving on and letting go of the relationship. No matter how I think about the consequences of the relationship, I can't seem to find a way on how I could just let it go without a fight. The relationship is something that I treasured so much because of the many happy memories attached to it including the deep love that we shared. It pains me a lot to think that this will just end like an ordinary relationship but if there is no other way left, then I might as well let it go. It would be too painful but if that is the only way to make things right then I am left with no other choice but sometimes miracles still do happen.

It will always be difficult to let go especially because you've been holding on to that relationship for a long time already. But all I can say is, everytime we are about to let go of the relationship, try to think of the reason why you've been holding on to that for a long time. :)

it's hard to let go anything we don't want to let go a relationship can be short term but if it's intense, it will still create deep memories but if you want to let go, really intend to, you will be able to

I was in a long distance relationship for 3 years and I understand what you feel. Honestly, it has not been easy for me to let him go especially if the feelings are still there. But we have no choice but to stop the relatioship. He was divorced when I met him over the internet. We already had the plan of meeting each other in person and get married. All of that changed when his ex wife got sick. My boyfriend is a good man and he needs to take care of his ex wife even they are already divorced. He cannot spend big amount of money with her health but with his insurance he can make it possible. But there is a condition, that is, they must be married. And my boyfriend decided to marry her ex wife again our of health reasons. It is very difficult. So difficult to accept it at first but now, I am moving on. Maybe we are not meant for each other or maybe if we are really for each other, no matter what happen we will still be together in the end.
