How do you let go of someone who doesn't want to go?

Question

Your relationship had gone sour so it is time to say goodbye. However, the other person does not want to go but short of kneeling down in front of you, begs you to let him/her stay. What would you do?

Answer 1

let them stay

Answer 2

No self-respecting man would ever beg a woman to "let" him stay.  You must be living in America.  If you want to kick him out and you have the power to do that then just do it.  A person either accepts a situation or not.  You cannot keep on flip flop your position about such things and thats what you would be doing if begging works.

Answer 3

You'll have to be the one to make the move. And it might have to be a literal move, as in change location, phone number, all avenues of contact that he has with you. Some people really find it hard to let go and can be determined to fight for the relationship. So if you really feel that the relationship is beyond repair and it would be best for both of you to move on, then you'll have to be the strong and firm one. It might also be a good idea to have one final talk with this person to lay it all on the table for him so you can tell him clearly and firmly that you see no point in going on with the relationship. Give him the explanation he deserves so that it will be a clean break for both of you and he will not be left wondering what went wrong. They say that saying good bye is the hardest thing to do, so I hope you find the courage and determination to go through with it.

Answer 4

Let me know if you have a good answer...I was the one kneeling down then for my man to stay.=c

Answer 5

you need the courage and strength to do it, muster and look for the right timing.  just be firmed with your decision and you'll get it for sure.

Answer 6

...in the natural course of things, there comes a time when relationship has reached its end.  it may not be because love has gone but simply because there's nowhere else for it to go.  this being the case, it's best to call it quits.  it could be an easy or a hard goodbye but it must be said and done.  No turning back.  begging and hanging on to don't change anything.  it's still at the saturation point.  it's useless to deny reality.

Answer 7

Reminds me of a s**y fight scene in Modesty Blaise.

Her opponent was a martial arts expert like herself.  So, she went completely naked and rubbed slippery grease all over her body.   So that when the man would want to hold on to her,  she gets to slip away, while delivering killer blows herself.

So, how about sporting some grease?

Answer 8

choke the guy real hard

Answer 9

If the other person doesn't want to go, then I'll go.

Answer 10

Reality must set in.

If you want it to end, then you must say this is the way it is. Even if you have feelings, if it is over then it is over. Don't allow begging. Finish it and ignore the person after the breakup. Being strong and walking away is the only way.

Answer 11

Loving is not about letting go and moving on... it's all about holding on... trying to get over fears and tears just to make it work. It's always worth a try to give it one more chance. If the person is sincere, why not give it a go? Love is lovelier the second time around they say. Talk things out... compromise... try putting yourself in his situation so you could understand... If you had done all these, trust God to do the rest but if it still won't work, then you have to face the inevitable... goodbye.
