How do you let someone go when you are still in love?

Question - (13 March 2007) 3 Answers - (Newest, 1 December 2007)
A female United States age 36-40, anonymous writes:

My boyfriend and I of a year broke up because we both needed space (although he initiated it). We are best friends, truly in love, but needed to know we were capable of also being alone. This was almost a month ago. Now we hang out everyday, are still intimate, but he still says he needs time to do his own thing. I am confused! I am okay without him, but being with him is uncomparable to any other feeling. I am not interested in the response, "Give him space. Tell him its all or nothing." How do you let someone go when you are still in love?

he doesnt need space. you do- permanently. he has all the benefits of being with you without the commitment. he doesnt love you enough to commit- in other words he's using you. and if you allow him to, you'll be in the same situation 5 years from now. take it from someone who's been there- smarten up now and get rid of the jerk!

It sounds like he wants his cake and eat it unto someone else comes along, if u dont let him go now u will find it harder to do as time goes on, keep urself busy dont let urself be available to him and within time ur feelings will change, then u will be able to move on. and give ur lvu to someone who can lvu u back, good luck.

cd206 agony auntYou realise that they're using you. This way he gets to have the sex etc but not have to bother with the relationship side of things. Pretty sweet agreement for him but surefire proof that he doesn't love or respect you and why should you waste your love and respect on someone who will never reciprocate?
