TO ANSWER THE QUESTION ACCURATELY.....
Frodo left Middle Earth with Gandalf and the other elves because he had been exposed to more of the magic than any of the other companions, and magic was leaving the world. After all that he had been through, he was hurt and tired - whereas the others, Legolas, and Gimli, were still strong and not too old for their respective races. After all the time that Bilbo and Frodo had spent as Ringbearers, they had earned a place for themselves in the Blessed Isles, where the elves go to live their twilight years. And so the last of the greatest heroes and magic left the lands of Middle Earth.....

*Will probably contain spoilers for the book if people haven't read it yet*
He didn't have to but he could. He was a ring bearer and he had been permenently scared by the Nazgul. When he returned to Bag End he felt like he couldn't continue his life anymore so when Gandalf told him that as one of the beares of the rings of power he could leave on the ship for the grey havens along with Bilbo.
Similarly, Sam says that he should be able to go to because he bore the ring for a time when he thought Frodo was dead (he had seen him in Galadriel's mirror and when this came to pass he believed him dead). I'm not sure if this happens in the film (I don't know if you are on about the film or the book here) but in the book it's how Frodo and Sam split up rather than Frodo sending him away.
But Sam still has a life hin Hobbiton with Rose so when she dies he goes to the Grey Haven's to be with Frodo and Bilbo etc.
Legolas and Gimli didn't carry any of the rings of power.

Frodo was so depressed after his trip to destroy the ring that he just never got over his depression and decided it was his time to go. Gandalf was getting old, and the elves were tired of living as immortals in Middle Earth all this time. Legolas was the Prince of the Woodland Realm, so he had to stay and rule the Realm with (and then after) his father. Gimli (the dwarf) stayed because he just was too happy to leave Middle Earth!!

he's granted passage around the sea to Valinor, the land of the valar and the actual abode of Gandalf and of the severe elves. I see it as a mix of reward and of therapeutic. The reward is given to the two Frodo and Bilbo for his or her area in looking, guarding and destroying the hoop (and there's a splash the two in Frodo's words to Sam, and in the appendices, that Sam became additionally granted the comparable reward as he too had carried the hoop quickly). The therapeutic is predicated on the remark that Frodo's wounds had on no account particularly healed (the morgul blade, Shelob's sting, the lacking finger - and above each and all of the shortcoming of the "priceless" ring). in simple terms in Valinor, the blessed land, can he locate the therapeutic that's no longer plausible in middle Earth.

He leaves for a lot of reasons:
His wound won't heal in Middle Earth.
His enjoyment of life has been drained away by having to carry the ring so long. The Shire is a place of simple pleasures that he can't feel in the way he used to, so he goes to the Undying Lands to be with beings who can relate to him and help him.
He goes to be with Bilbo and Gandalf.
I think he also goes so that Sam can come fully into his own. As long as Frodo was around, Sam always put Frodo first--"Mr. Frodo" this, "Mr. Frodo" that. With Frodo gone, Sam becomes the Mayor, and doesn't have to worry about Frodo's suffering, which he is powerless to cure.

Well...
as far as Legolas and Gimli not going on the ships Legolas took Gimli to his home to show him the beautiful forrest in the woodland realm and Gimli took Legolas to show him the beautiful caves in which he dwelled. They sort of were travelling companions together which is funny because they disliked one another in the very beginning.
as you know Frodo was wounded by a morgul blade when the witch king stabbed him on Weathertop. His wound would never fully heal and he'd be in pain from that for the rest of his life. That could possibly be one reason.
But actually, It was an honor for him to travel on the ship to Valinor...a special place was alloted for him as well as Bilbo. They had both pretty much exhausted themselves being the ringbearers.

Frodo chose to leave... he didn't have to. Probably to go look after his uncle, and to receive better medical care for his shoulder injury... Don't know about Legolas or Gimli.
I wonder who the little **** is that gave all of us thumbs down? Obviously some coward.

Frodo chose to leave. The burden of the ring had taken its toll on Frodo, so he decided to join Gandalf, Elrond, and Bilbo on one last great adventure.......

I assume you have watched the film but not read the book. The broken dagger shard from the ring wraith encounter (on the way to Rivendell) early on in the story had left a unhealed wound. He went with the elves to that plac ei forget the name to ease his suffering. Them being all magical etc.

Frodo probably left so he would be able to enjoy the rest of his life away from the Shire, Middle Earth, and all of his bad memories of the Ring. (This is just what I got from the end of the movie, but everyone is subject to their own opinions.)
