how do you let go?

Question

how do you let go of a 7 year relationship. I mean, I'm still in love with him it's just he can't stay faithful to me and I'm sick of trying to make things work. He say he loves me and he wants to be with me, but his action does not show it. I do I keep my foot down whan I tell him that it is over?

Answer 1

I've been there. This will be the hardest thing you ever have to do, but for yourself, you have to break all ties with him. You need to have your best friend over and throw out your pics together, his old pajama pants that you love to sleep in, the pillow that still smells like him and anything he ever gave you. it's called detox and it's painful. A relationship is like a drug. The best thing that you can do for yourself is get him out of your life, out of your house, off your pillowcase and out of your picture frames. Then, keep yourself HAPPY and BUSY. Make plans with the girls, take that pottery class you've always wanted to take. Go on vaca. But, keep yourself HAPPY and BUSY. Before long, you'll stop missing him. It won't be right away, not after 7 years, but eventually you'll be a.o.k.

Hope this helps!

letting go is probably 1 of the hardest thing to do in life.

not too long ago a friend of mine was in a similar situation; they were together for about 5 yrs. they had a pretty good relationship and they really loved and cared about each other until they've finally let go of each other. i was with my friend through the ups n downs of her relationship w/ her bf. they were on and off all the time; confused of letting go but at the same time she was thinking about the years that they have both grown together. in spite of her love for him, she was tired of the situation. currently they're not together anymore and i asked her if she was ok. she told me that she's happier now.

the best way to approach your situation is to talk to him. first make sure that you are really ready to let him go. of course it wouldnt be an easy transition but in time you'll be able to see the good things of making up your mind on how you want to run your relationship. once you've let him know that its over make sure that you stand by your decision no matter what. he might try to win you back, but i think it'll be much better if you stay friends. this is where that cliche would come in: if you guys are meant to be together, then at the end you will be.

my ex broke up with me only 2 months ago and we were together 6 1/2 years. He wasnt unfaithful but he promised me a lot of things but never lived up to them he just gave in.. i dont know what the answer is i can't let go of my ex i love him so much how do u get over someone promising marriage 1 day and leaving ur life entirely the next? In ur situation though if he can't remain faithful then ur just going to end up hurt.. guys like him are most likely not going to change u just have to try and get through it if ur not ready to date (like me) try to distract urself get rid of everything that reminds u of them i find writing things down like ur feelings help thats y ive been posting questions just dont let him waste anymore of ur life u need to find someone who makes u happy just hang in there.. its not going to be easy trust me im going through the same thing even trying to follow my own advice is hard but i guess you just have to accept that its an ending to a chapter of ur life and u've got to start a new. Good Luck
