Honestly, I am overwhelmed by your openness. What a good bunch of fellow humans we have out here in cyberspace, don't you agree?

Yes I do.

He said,"I think this is it"

I said "Please don't do this"

Then he was just gone

Yes. For me it was really sad but for others it might not be. I was a junior in high school and I was going out with a great guy (who is now my husband). It was typical teenage love--but had it's points that were mature. Well my parents and his were in the military. I had to move back to the states and we didn't know when we'd ever see each other again. We spend the whole day before I left together. It was so sad. We went over to my friend's house together so I could say good-bye then as we walked away he started crying. I was shocked. He was a macho man who showed emotion but not to the point where he would cry. So we sat and cried together for about an hour then I went to my hotel room and he went out with his friends. It was so said. The next day I left Germany forever never knowing what would happen with us--as I looked out my window back at the hotel he was standing there with a sign that read "I love you!" It broke my heart!

About three months later I moved in with him. We are now married and have a beautiful son together. I'll never forget exactly how I felt that day. It made us stronger.

I actually just thought of a better one that I can't believe I forgot about. When I was pregnant with our son my husband had to go to Iraq. We didn't know at the time how long he was going to be away for or if our son will even ever know him. We were both full of tears and said our goodbyes. What was the saddest part was not knowing if it was goodbye for then or goodbye forever. I ended up going through the last four months of pregnancy alone and the first four months with my son alone. He came home (thank God) and we're all happy.

I've lived my whole life saying "goodbye." I've been a military dependent my whole life. I constantly move, make new friends and then leave. I would visit family then have to say goodbye. Family has passed away that I've never had the chance to say goodbye to--it's part of defending our country.

I'm sure we'll have many more goodbyes in the future. I almost feel it makes us stronger. Hope this is what you wanted.

Yes I remember my saddest goodbye. It wasn't all that long ago actually. It was June 1, 2006 at 4:30 pm (that date & time is forever burned into my head). I was at the airport with my husband. He was leaving for Iraq and I could not stop crying (I still can't at times). I had the absolute hardest time letting him get on that plane! I remember him hugging me tight and saying "Will you do me a favor, and take care of yourself and stay safe while I'm gone?". All I could think about was, ME?!? What about you?!? Shouldn't *I* be telling *YOU* to take care of yourself and stay safe?!? That was almost 5 months ago and he won't get to come home until July 2007. He will only be home for 2 weeks, so I know another sad, tough, & hard goodbye is still to come once more. He will be home for good though in October 2007. I can't wait! Even though this is his second deployment (ok, so technically this is my 2nd sad goodbye), I still had a really tough time saying goodbye. It never gets easy.

My first divorce although I knew I had to say goodbye because even if we stayed together all that I had felt for him was crushed-lost! I no longer respected or trusted him! The saddest part was losing touch with my children and giving up the idea of family forever! Now here are some tears-think someday I would not cry!

The saddest goodbye is the one that haunts you for the rest of your life, the things you should have said, wanted to say but couldnt then realised it was too late it was already gone. My advice is never let the sun go down on an arguement always make up b4 as tomorrow is another day and maybe too late to do it.

I've had many "goodbyes" the one I remember the most was a couple years ago. I had met someone online. He was the most amazing man to me, he still is in someways. I knew there was something that wasn't "right" with our relationship. Gut instinct if you will! I have another friend online who is a news paper reporter, I had asked him to find out for me what was going on. The next day I was told that the man I was with is married! (I stay away from married men) Lyle knew that when we met. The only explanation I got from Lyle was that he was sorry he lied about being married, yet if he wouldn't have lied, he'd of never gotten to know me like he did. That was the end of our relationship. It still makes me sad at times it ended the way it did. Although after 2 years we've now started emailing back and forth, just as friends. Although he says he's now divorced, would like us back together again. I won't trust him for two reasons. The first being, that he lied to me before. The second being, if he cheated on his wife, he'd cheat on me.

the first time i was about to get on a plane and come back to the states. i was pregnant with his child and i didnt know if or when i would ever see him again.
the second time, i had to say goodbye to the sweetest, kindest, warm-hearted funny caring individual i ever knew. he was gentle and loving and giving, and tried his hardest to do what he thought was right. he lived only 26 years on this earth, 10 of those years fighting cancer. when it was my turn to go into that hospital room and look at the man lying in the bed, with the mask over his face breathing for him, i almost couldnt bear it. but i had to say goodbye. the only thing i could think of to say was you are the best man i ever knew, and i love you. i wish now i would have said more, there are just so many things i could have said. but i know in my heart that he knew all of these things anyway, and at least he is no longer in pain. all my love to you jason, wherever you are

When the man I loved so much needed to move to another country over a year ago so he could be with his daughter. I knew in order to do this he would be getting back together with his ex. I knew that this goodbye would be the last time I would ever see him again. A year later I know I was right.

My saddest was two years ago. My father had collapsed from a heart attack. My mother performed CPR and revived him. It was after about ten minutes, so there was brain damage. My father was on a machine that was keeping him alive. My siblings, my mother and I made the decision to let him go and we had the machine turned off. We all had a one on one with him before he passed away to say our goodbyes. My father and I were very close so it was the hardest and saddest moment of my life.

My saddest goodbye was the one I did not get to say. My father shot himself when I was 17 and I was there when he did it. He had a lot of problems and had threatened many times to do it so I did not take it seriously when he said he was going to do it. Anyone who has seen my response to people who cheat on there partners....this is part of the reason I feel so strongly about cheating. A lot of his problems where caused by a cheating spouse.
