Afraid that we'll never find someone again
Afraid to be alone
Afraid that the next one won't be as good!
On and on and on..... Most of us feel this way! |

because familiar is safer than the unknown. |

The most common answer to that is: "for the sake of the children". |

you want what you used to have with that person. you miss the best friend in them that was once there. |

Because our emotions are hardly ever subject to reason. |

because its like when someone looses a family member.
you refuse to let them go. |

Because you're getting old. Its easier to stay with something comfy and familiar than have to go it alone again to face the failures and self-induced pity. Fighting and searching for true happiness is no longer in your vocabulary. |

You always want something you can't have.
Humans love challenges. |

Apart of us still wants to hold on for what reason, I don't know but if in your heart you know it's over, save yourself the time and just move on...easier said than done..I know but in the end you both will be happier. |

Because we know it's gone but we don't wanna let it go♥ |

Because, no one like to lose....
Lose, in a sense...a relationship was an investment of your time.
When it's over it's a "shattered investment."
Again, I will say "No one" likes to start over from scratch, and not even sure as to how long it will take to meet someone who will truly care for them? This could take years, even though you meet people, after some time you may realize that person is selfish! Selfishness, is very common these days and finding forgiveness is even harder, as we all are not perfect.
Do me a favor, don't try to make a circle fit in a box!
This is a big mistake...always know someone is out there right now for you and she is probably getting ready for bed..as she has to work early in the morning.
Good Luck in finding her....be on the look out! |

cause it takes time to admit it to ourselves..
it took me a long time and several months to admit it to myself that my marriage was over with my ex-husband. After finding him cheating and spending money we didnt have... it took abuse for me to see the light.. so i honestly dont know.. stubborn! |

Because we are afraid of the unknown, afraid to be alone, afraid that no one else will love us. I was just dumped by my bf who says he still loves me, but yet he has walked away and told me to move on. I am holding on to nothing, since he wants to cease all contact. But here I sit, hoping and praying that he will call me or email me. And then what? I think, personally, that I don't want to be a failure. And, I really feel foolish and worthless, like if he loved me, why did he leave me? Was I that bad of a person? I think I want to hold on to somehow prove to him that I am worth fighting for. If we got back together, though, what would change? |

I know, Im sorry but especially w guys they find it so hard to grasp. I mean its not like we have all never been in several relationships of all kinds. I had a friend tell me once its truly a maturity level. |

Because of convenience |

Becasue somewhere along the line you convinced yourself that this person is the best thing that ever happend to you... so now that they are gone, you haven't changed that association in your brain.... it's like your wife died or something... you still love her and will never get her out of your head.. the thing is that never happend... so GET A LIFE! |

Brandy

Its hard to let go |
|

Because we fear that might have the best we had and we will not get anything better...
Because we fear being alone...
Because we invested so much time and energy... and we're familiar with it and fear the new and unfamiliar...
Because we feel we failed... and may not deserve anything better because of deep down insecurities...
Because human nature makes us value that which we lose when we lose it... |

The familiar beats the unknown, regardless of the quality of the familiar, at least with many people. |
|

Exactly what the person above me said.
You don't wanna let the person go. |
|

teri b

even though we want that person gone because of the hurt they caused there are still those times that we hold onto to good times we had and the dreams and vistions we saw in our life to come and that is the part that makes us try to hold on to what is already gone that and the fear of being alone |

dude, when you get a good answer to that question, will you let me know?!?! 'cause I'm sittin' at home wondering the same damn thing!! |
|

We don't want to give up, especially when it was something that we felt was good. So we want to keep on trying, even though we know that it is over... we still have hope that just maybe, we can save it. |
|

just plain me
 |
well if you know that its completely over then yes its better to go your separate ways as opposed to continuing hurting each other. its when there is the slightest chance thats its worth fighting, love is not worth giving up on, good luck |

cuz stuff happens |

because you can't quit missing what you had....you strive for that happiness an closeness again. |

because we are all scared to be alone. We think that we can't get anyone else or better than what we have at the present...even though I can tell you there is always better out there for us. You just have to realize that you are a good person, and that you will find the true happieness you always hear about. I did....and it payed off. Just let go of what you think you can't...and you will see how magical life really can be. Good luck |
