Do you think Love sometimes means saying Goodbye ?

Not all relationships are meant to last forever. We sometimes out grow our partners, or our partner goes off in a direction which makes us struggle to stay in step with. Sometimes, the most responsible thing you can do is to offer love and compassion to the person as you release the relationship.

Love & Blessings

    I have learnt the hard way and as painful as it is, i totally agree with what you have stated.

    Before it was difficult to understand this phrase even think that i could to do what seemed so easy. But sometimes you have to look beyond the situation you have with the person and how things are...and if you truly love someone, it does not mean letting them go means you love any less. But purely means that you love them enough to respect they feel comfortable with happiness else where or may not be fully ready at what they thought they could to commit to you deeply or to a relationship of great intensity possibly. But there are so much factors that lay with a relationship not lasting.

    Often in cases although it may have not lasted presently. It does not mean there is a never...there are always unexpected possibilities that later on maybe a better stage for you and that person. Or generally there may not be. But it does not mean one should put their life at hault but should continue to live it with the openess of anything is possible.

    Well currently i am at this stage of love sometimes means saying goodbye...one thing that helps me going is myself knowing, the Lord knowing and also people who saw the progression of our relationship also knowing how much i tried my best, i tried with good intentions, love, care, support, honesty etc. This is enough for me to walk away strong knowing i did attempt and try to make a better make and works of things. Sometimes in cases and situations like this, the person you hope to realise, see, appreciate, value and understand...is not always the person who is aware and acknowledges. Sometimes factors stop the person from knowing i.e. bad effects and happenings taking place in his life; the comfortable notion of knowing one will be there, so taking for granted things on purpose; or generally seeing how they are behaving and things they are doing in effect to the person is not right. Well maybe with distance apart either time will teach or make one more aware to what they had which is now not present and many more. In regards to my situation there will always be love in my heart and soul for this person. But every situation is different i guess.

    NICE QUESTION AND OVERVIEW MILLY...blessings to you too. ;-)

    Sometimes Saying Goodbye

  • 1 decade ago

    I don't necessarily agree with that statement. I think the responsible thing to do that most lasting couples would agree with is to change and grow together, accepting the changes that your partner experiences and loving them in spite of whether or not you experience the same change yourself. I think you don't give humans enough credit, we're pretty adaptable to change when given enough time and resources to sort through those changes. I think the major exception to this rule is when the changes your partner experience really start to harm the relationship and yourself personally... i.e. the person becomes either verbally or physically abusive, or engages in harmful behavior such as drug or alcohol abuse. That would be the time to say goodbye, I still love you, but I can't remain in this unhealthy situation. That's my opinion anyway.

    Love is the great blessing of God. Love does't mean to say goodbye. It makes the relationships strong. Love have a power.

    Yes I do think that Love does mean saying goodbye to our partner and letting them go. We still can remain friends with our partner and move in different directions.

    i agree with max.

    sometimes there is no alternative to breaking up and it is the healthiest thing 4 a couple to do.

    but i also think that the divorce rate is laughable. counselling and communication open many doors and when a couple has committed to each other, they should work on that relationship when they hit rough patches

    Just because you love somebody doesn't mean you are compatible. It isn't always enough - sad but true.
