[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are misinterpreting the meaning of the quote.

It doesn't mean that if you love someone, break up with them.  It means to give them space to live their own authentic life, not to smother them, be jealous, or treat them like a Saudi Arabian wife.  They should be with you out of love, not fear.[/quote]

No, it means break up with them. It means quit holding on so tight that you don't know if they are there because they love you and want to be there or if it's because you have an iron grip on them.

My crew coach in college had been dating a guy for several years. He would not commit. So she broke up with him and took a job in FL. I know she played it very cool with him. He came down several times that year. By the end of the school year they were engaged.

But this only works if you 100% are truly ready to walk away and let them go. If you are doing it to be manipulative, it never works. They can feel that you are still attached and are just trying to manipulate them. [/quote]
