Since love is not selfish, by making such a sacrifice in letting go, that in itself can be the greatest act of your love for them AND yourself.

This answer would have been so much better had we gotten more info but I know personally that we have to let go if the situation is not bringing the best out of us, retarding our growth and well-being.
I was in love with this guy for over a year and in April of this year, I found out that he had a baby with someone else (I'd say ex-girl but it's obvious that he was seeing both of us at the same time). It was very stressful and depressing but I eventually had to let him go (even though I love him so much) because they moved in as a family and he has the nerve to still want us to be friends. So I had to do what's ethical knowing that although I am hurting, I'm not the one with the baby. So I am moving on and hopefully, if you are in a similar situation, you will do the same.

I personally will never give up or let go in a way that it would end what I feel. I can't. There's no way for me to do so. If I have to be satisfied with the feelings I have in my heart alone, then I will do it because I was gifted with this love and I will never, ever give it up to or for anyone, no matter what. I thought about it and said, oh forget it several times, but I promised I always would and I will for eternity. How it works out, I don't know, but I feel a radiating love from within my soul for a man who means the world to me. If he wants to get rid of me he will virtually have to go away permanently, as I'm not going anywhere......You asked, I told........

That's just the way it is sometimes. It always depends on the circumstances. If it was meant to be you wouldn't have to let go.
At least you know what love is. Even if you had to let go.
You know the saying: its better to have loved and lost, then never to have loved at all. Time will heal the hurt, but a little part will always hurt in your heart and in your memory.
Therefore: Don't cry because it's over--smile because it happened

I think you need to explain this question a little more. Sometimes if you love a person it is better to let them go and if it was true love they will always come back.

just because you love someone doesn't mean you are compatible or that the relationship will work. love would be great if you were on a desert island, but we live in the real world, and sometimes things just don't work out. let it go and move on. remember the happy times, but don't regret "what might have been", because it probably would have turned unpleasant in the long run.

Sometimes we can not give the other person what they need to be happy. Al-tho we try and it is never enough.True love is being able to let go. To love someone enough to let them go and be happy.

You can shed tears that she is gone, or you can smile because she has lived.You can close your eyes and pray that she'll come back,or you can open your eyes and see all she's left.Your heart can be empty because you can't see her,or you can be full of the love you shared.You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday, or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.You can remember her only that she is gone,or you can cherish her memory and let it live on.You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back.Or you can do what she'd want:smile, open your eyes, love and go on.”

sometimes loving some one means letting go..... if we love a person, we want them to be happy..... with or with out us..... letting go is the only way to do that....a child, lover, friend, parent, etc..... no matter who that person is to us, love means letting each person be who and what they are meant to be.... it is hard and heart breaking at times..... but in the long run, if we let go gently they may return to us the same way....... God bless

You have to let go if you love yourself enough to make the right decision. Sometimes its the medicine that smells bad and tastes awful thats good for us. Get the picture?
