to normy in garden city: that's nice. :)
has anyone ever set his / her loved one free because you know that his / her happiness is now with someone else and so is his / her love?
how did you deal with it?

to 007: i empathize with you but what you did was indeed noble. i just wish for the best for you. maybe you'll fall in love again... hopefully when that time comes, it will be a lasting, requited one - one that is at the right time and with the right person too.

I really and truly was in love with this wonderful Filipina, this was three years ago. I have never felt or experienced what love is or falling in love is until I met her. She was married and my understanding that she was leaving her husband and this is how come we continued the relationship. We were both madly in love, I am not joking. She had two boys that she loved dearly and I got to be so close to them and I loved them as much. I met her three times in the Philippines and I met her family, her kids, her mom and dad her brothers and sisters. What a lovely family and the way they took care of me was unbelievable. Her husband knew me and he also knew we are both deeply in love. He begged me so many times to let her go and let him have another chance with her, after all, he was the one that abused her and he regretted that. To make the story short, it was not an easy decision for me, the last thing I wanted to do is break up a family with kids and take the mom away from them since he would want to keep them and that alone would break her heart too. Like I said, it was not easy, I had to make the decisions to give them another chance at their marriage to save if for the kids sake. It was not easy for both of us and even until now I still have that special place for her in my heart and I sacrificed for her and her family just because I really and truly loved her. She is back with him and the kids now.Is she Happy? I don't really know and I don't even dare to ask her, maybe I just don't want to know or hear the answer or the truth anymore. Even as I type this I feel my body shivering just even thinking about it.
If this is not sacrifice for the one you love, then I don't know what is.

There was a meet-up last year organized by Yahoo itself and I was lucky to meet some YA users. Prior to the said meet-up, I have already met some YAPpers, way back in 2007. I still meet up with some of them every once in a while. As to their looks, well, let's just say there's more to them behind the avatars and the Qs and As that they have here. And I can tell the same thing about me.

Hats off to 007!
Some of the biggest challenges in relationships come from the fact that most people enter a relationship in order to get something... In reality, the only way a relationship will last is if you see your relationship as a place that you go to give, and not a place you go to take. - Anthony Robbins
...be the REASON for someone`s HAPPINESS, not just a part of it... Be a PART of someone`s SADNESS, but NOT the REASON for it.
Yes, I did.

Yes I have but, I don't want to make it seem as if I am boasting about what I have done for someone or people.
I think the Holy Bible tell many examples of loving and giving without expecting anything in return.

kudos to 007!
yap! i always do love deeply & nobly when am into a relationship. I adhere to the saying "if you love him-set him free". Loving means letting go even if its the hardest choice u ever make...his/her happiness is what matters in the end.

My wife and I agree with that. We both believe that a 50/50 relationship is not good enough. It's 90/10. 90% give and 10% take. When both parties live by this it provides for a very rewarding relationship.

I suppose so. I've always wanted happiness for the ones I love, and for this purpose, I've stayed away from them for ages. Only, I can't say if my absence made their hearts grow fonder. There is the entire possibility that if there is one thing they like about me at all, it is my absence.

That is why my heart has been broken. A number of times.
