This has happened to me.
When I 1st met my wife, she was doubtful of my Love for her. She found herself wanting to believe in me, but in the back of her mind she remembered many a fool who spoke pretty to her only for their own interests in mind. What she ended up doing was telling me we could no longer see each other (she later told me she half-hoped I'd get mad and tell her off so it would seem she was right about me -- no chance in Hell).
So... I agreed. However, I let it be known immediately that my decision to no longer see her was based upon the fact that this was fulfilling her desire (not mine), because as long as she was happy, I could live with that. And (wouldn't you know it?) wonder of wonders, she found herself asking ME out on a date again and again!
I was willing to let her go because I believe it's up to her to decide what makes her happy. I was just content to be in her presence because she is absolutely lovely to see/hear/touch. I let her know her happiness made me feel good. I could've walked away from her, never saw her again if I knew she wanted it and could be happy with it.
P.S. After 4 years of dating, we're now happily married for 5 1/2 years, with a 22 month old & 3 months pregnant. Not a day goes by that we don't share kindness and laughter.
Peace.

yes it has happened to me, with the same person more than once. Let me explain, I was dating this jerk, and i met his friend and thought he was a nice guy, we could be friends that kind of thing. Well i broke up with the jerk and never saw either again for months. I had a chance meeting with this nice guy, and ended up hanging out with him that night and the day we had our first date. It was a bitter sweet thing because he was moving out of state a few weeks after we started dating. We were inseparable until the move. When we was gone we talked regularly and become really good friends, months later he moved back, and we dated again. We were together for a year when we broke up over trust issues and other circumstances. We weren't together for about a month and during that time did our own thing, dated other people, whatever. We found out we liked our lives together and decided to work our problems out, we've been happily together for 4 years and counting. If it's meant to be you'll find each other again. Good luck and i hope things work out the way they should.

Sometimes it is just necessary to let go. Sometimes love is just not enough. They have to be dedicated to the relationship too. If you let them go, they have the opportunity to see what they had more clearly. If it is what they really want, then they will be back.
If you look at the questions here, you will see many people saying that they split from their ex and want them back because they now realize what they had.
That grass always looks greener on the other side of the fence. When you get there, however, it is not always as green as it looked from the distance.
I am going through something similar now. I did not feel that being treated right, so I told him so. He decided to leave. Now he is trying to do everything he can to prove that he is worthy of my love. I am not sure what I am going to do yet, but I sure taught him a lesson by letting him go. I just figured that if that is what would make him happy, then he should go. You certainly can't force them to love you.

If the person truly loves you, he will definitely come back to you. That is what true love is all about. He may get angry, but that is a temporary phase. It he does not come back to you, then he did not love you at all in the first place. That is why he does not have the intention or the inclination to come back to you. It would have just been an infatuation. But you will have to wait patiently for the result... because right now you don't know whether he will come back to you or not... whether it is true love or not .... so wait for a few days .... it may even take a couple of months, not more than that. If it takes more time than that, then i am afraid... it was just his infatuation and you have to prepare yourself to move on ...

this actual touch you consult from relatively applies and practices this philosophy. unlike a lot of your fellow jw YA contributors, who base completely on one remark or 2, have blocked others like myself. that's to undesirable that basically a number of your fellow contributors did no longer even respond on your magnificent suggestion.
