everybody wants, not only a long lasting relationship but, a happy relationship.. happy, not for the whole period of the relationship..but happy despite of the ups and downs, both are still holding each other.. but what if you wake up in the morning and find out that your partner doesn't love you anymore? how far can you go with that reality? would you hold your partner, whatever it takes? or would you let her go?

Its going to be hell if one day you wake up, and no love anymore. But if that happens we need to accept the truth. Sometimes we think that we cannot stand and live without them, that you might die for losing that person. But actually we can if we don't let our feelings to control ourselves. First Im gonna try to work things out again with that person, if nothing happens then you need to let go. It is easy to say but I am sure its hard to do.

you're right..some people think that they'll die when they lose the person they love..but they don't realize that they'll die if they don't know how to accept the facts..

I agree with you,every body wants a long and happy relation ship.As we all know that nothing in this world is perfect.We must work hard for a relationship to last.Like a plants needs love and care to grow.

If you wake up one morning to discover your partner no longer loves you then they never loved you in the first place. True Love grows, it does not fade away to nothing. If a relationship or marriage breaks down and cannot be fixed then there was no love from one partner at the beginning. If there is true love and things within the relationship are going wrong then you talk. You forgive, you try harder, you talk some more. You figure out what went wrong and you do whatever it takes to fix things. You don't scream and yell and throw the other person out. You don't show resentment, you don't act selfishly. If a couple is married they have made vows to each other. Either one may break one of the vows but we are human, we make mistakes. Sadly, too many people coimmit to a relationship for frivolous reasons without knowing what true love really is.

When someone doesn't love you they show it in the way they treat you. So I believe there would be warning signs I dont think someone all of a sudden falls out of love. You just have to be alert and smart. So when the time comes to breakup you leave with your dignity. Your heart will heal eventually. Forget the loser life goes on!

I rather let her go and forget about her than to hold her. For me, it will make the situation more difficult to pursue my love to her even if she is no longer love me anymore. She is not the only woman in this world anyway and life must go on.

I believe that when the bad outweighs the good most of the time, it's time to move on, but that it's important to not get too hasty about thinking the bad outweighs the good. If it was truly a case of my partner didn't love me, I think that would be terms for leaving.

I would do whatever it takes to fix the relationship. Supreme effort. Go to counseling or anything else that might be useful. One thing I would not do, is try and fix it with material. You can't buy love. You can't bribe someone into loving you. So avoid that. You'll just end up spending money you don't have to spend, on something that won't work anyway. However, once every option has been exhausted, once every attempt has failed, there's nothing left to try, if they wish to divorce, then so be it. But you leave knowing you made every effort to find a solution.

I always thought if that were to happen I would let him go, and not force someone to be with me if they didn't want to. However, when it happened to me it was a different story. My ex told me he didn't love me anymore and I couldn't figure out why. At the time, I was kind of in shock and would have done anything to keep him. I was even willing to be in a loveless marriage, but I was probably thinking he would change his mind in time. He insisted that he wanted a divorce even though I didn't. It turns out that it was for the best anyway. I think that after awhile of living with someone that doesn't love me anymore I would get sick of it and agreed to a divorce. Also, I am disabled now, and I really don't think he would have handled taking care of me well and we wouldn't be together anyway.

first of all accepting the fact would be devastating, but "if you truly love someone, then let her/him go, if she/he comes back, then it was meant to be." Letting go gives space, and when only one realizes the loss is the time one would be feel the love again hopefully.

it feels very bad when you know that the person you are loving so much is not love you back.and it happens with me then then i will be mad surely because i can not bear this type shock. but after all we can not force any one for love.it is purely an independent decision.and i will try to understand her and if she will want to move then i will not stop him.because i respect her decisions

Uh, it's such a ridiculous situation, but it does happen sometimes. It would naturally be an inner fight accepting it, but there is no other option is there? Letting her go would be inevitable, but would take time.

I think love is the most important thing between two lovers.It's unmeaningful that two people get together without feeling.So,it's better to set both of us free.

People had always said that we must fight for someone or something that we love. But there are situations where we need to accept things as they are. This is one of those situations where I think fighting for someone you love isn't the way. This is when you have to let go no matter how much it would hurt. Holding on to someone who doesn't love you anymore would only bring you more pain. Letting go is painful but the pain would eventually dissipate. How long is really up to the person, how fast he or she can accept reality and move on.

Hello, kaeirole! Why hold on to such a partner, make both your lives miserable and probably miss your chance to start fresh and find someone better? If the love is gone, there's really no point in keeping it going. It's the worst thing that can happen. You can go through a lot with a person when there's love on both sides, but once it becomes onesided, you're practically alone, because you can't and shouldn't expect the same dedication and fidelity like before. Many people cling in hope that the feelings would come back, or thinking they can't survive without him/her. It's false. As long as you have yourself and know what you're worth, you can always rise again and stat fresh. Clinging makes the other not only not love you, but also dislike being next to you or even despise you for your lack of understanding towards his/her feelings. I'd much rather not be loved and leave him with grace than hold him next to me knowing he'll end up disliking my presence, maybe despise me. That kind of behavior kills whatever was good in the relationship in the past. So you have to keep the good memories and move one. Memories are what stay with you forever, no one can take them away. Don't taint them by adding displeasing ones. It will only break your heart more, because he/she has made a resolution and moved on already.

Hi! I will gonna choose to give him up if he's not happy anymore. Though it hurts, i should accept the fact that he has fall out of love from me, and i will let him go for we won't be happy anymore and real love sets free her special someone in a relationship that isn't working any longer. It doesn't necessarily mean that you don't love that person and you don't fight for him. Fighting for your love should be done,if you love one another and there are trials in your relationship, but ie one, falls out of love, it should be given up. It's just if you want him to be happy, support him in his decision and if one day he returns to you and ask for your forgiveness and you still love him, be with him coz may be you're destined for each other.

It takes time before we can accept that our partner doesn't love us anymore. Personally, I would try hard to make it still work for us. But if I see nothing changes and the efforts I do to win his heart again is no longer working. And he still tells or make me feel that he doesn't really love me anymore, I would not be with him. I would accept that this is the end of our happy relationship. It is more hurting to be in a relationship when you are the only one loving. It takes time to forget the person we love. But in time, we will still be able to move on. And will be able to find someone who will never get tired of loving us.

When love ends in a relationship it is better to let it go, being the logical result it is going to happen sooner or later. The main problem is we tend to confuse infatuation and love. Mostly it is infatuation which ends over night and that is due to change in either partner's priorities, Love on the other hand is unconditional and does not end this easily.
