how do you let go of someone you love so much but you know is so bad for you

take em out....old yeller style


there will be tears but sometimes its the only way....

You remember that he / she isn't the only thing in your life that made you happy. You go back to things that make you happy. And you just try and move on a day at a time.
Been there

A few words for ya.
"Put'er down"

Tell em the truth

drop it like it's hot, you're wasting time with someone toxic when you could be spending that time with the right person or doing things that will lead to the right person. (like going out and doing stuff or whatever etc.)

Stalk them till they get a restraining order..then you won't have to worry about it anymore

Ye gads!!!!

I would have to agree with you on this one. Good way of putting it.

Good for you...

Love them enough to let them go. If its bad for you, its bad for them too.

There must be 50 ways to leave your lover.

The problem is all inside your head
She said to me
The answer is easy if you
Take it logically
I’d like to help you in your struggle
To be free
There must be fifty ways
To leave your lover

She said it’s really not my habit
To intrude
Furthermore, I hope my meaning
Won’t be lost or misconstrued
But I’ll repeat myself
At the risk of being crude
There must be fifty ways
To leave your lover
Fifty ways to leave your lover

You just slip out the back, Jack
Make a new plan, Stan
You don’t need to be coy, Roy
Just get yourself free
Hop on the bus, Gus
You don’t need to discuss much
Just drop off the key, Lee
And get yourself free

She said it grieves me so
To see you in such pain
I wish there was something I could do
To make you smile again
I said I appreciate that
And would you please explain
About the fifty ways

She said why don’t we both
Just sleep on it tonight
And I believe in the morning
You’ll begin to see the light
And then she kissed me
And I realized she probably was right
There must be fifty ways
To leave your lover
Fifty ways to leave your lover

You just slip out the back, Jack
Make a new plan, Stan
You don’t need to be coy, Roy
Just get yourself free
Hop on the bus, Gus
You don’t need to discuss much
Just drop off the key, Lee
And get yourself free

You just do it. You cry about it, you get angry about it, and eventually it'll have a place in your life. That place is the ancient history box.

If misery loves company, just keep hanging on and you will make their life a living hell too.

Life is to short for that. Don't be foolish. Don't be afraid to open your life to something and someone better.

Get the monkey off your back.

If you don't, you have no one to blame but yourself.

Some relationships will suck the LIFE OUT OF YOU.

Below: the vampire and the dead bride.....

"Death-Marriage"

You just have to force yourself not to pick up that phone, that things would be different if it was meant to be. Very much harder to say than do, and that's from experience. Look somewhere else, don't be afraid to let someone else into your life.

Get caller I.D. then. You don't want to miss any important calls.

Do you EVER NOT make us laugh?

This is totally TRUE!


And leaving that relationship will rip your soul and self-esteem to shreds! You'll feel like a miserable failure because you were the means of keeping the other person going, giving them hope and acceptance and encouragement...
...and it will consume your life.
But, if you promised to be there, until death do you part, then you're in it to the end of your days.

So be very careful.

But if you need to be a hero...it's your call.

Join Alanon or CODA, establish a good support system, seek counseling if possible, and be willing. Then, if you are able, Hope for the best!
