The article “If You Love Something, Let It Go” – Is It True? was originally published on My Bold Life.
This introspection will ultimately lead you to find the most suitable partner for you — whether that’s someone entirely new or an individual from your past.
This raises an important question: “If you truly care for someone and decide to release them, is there a chance they’ll return?”
What Steps Can You Take to Release a Loved One?
It’s easy to state“If you care for something, let it go,” but putting that into action is a different matter entirely.
Releasing someone you care about is challenging. Yet, with time, perseverance, and self-compassion, it is achievable!
To release someone dear to you, make sure to communicate your thoughts clearly with them. Approach the conversation with kindness. Clarify that although your feelings for them are genuine, you believe that neither of you can fulfill the other’s needs for a truly happy and lasting relationship.
Be ready to listen patiently to their questions. Approach the discussion with empathy, as they might be experiencing a whirlwind of emotions.
Your loved one might feel confused, hurt, angry, or even depressed about your choice. Understanding your decision might take them a considerable amount of time.
While it’s uncertain if both of you will conclude things amicably, many relationships do end positively.
In fact, I have experienced letting go of love multiple times, and I’m grateful that those partings were amicable. I still maintain connections with several of those individuals to this day.
