No. Consider high school. It's easier to drop out than it is to stay enrolled until the end of the year and get a fail mark.

I like a question like your's it gives me a chance to think -- I have never been left behind because sadly I leave before even asked.I never thought of that before Thank You,that's something I need to change

Having experienced both I dare say it is easier to leave than to be left behind. One leaves and enters new environment and undergoes new experiences and finds new interests. This helps them to ease the pain/memory of what is left behind. However a person who has been left behind, or whose dear one has left, still remains in the same atmosphere wherein he/she is continually reminded about the missing person. This can be a more numbing experience.

From one side, it's easier leaving as then you have a destination though you may not know exactly where it is; if you are left behind, it's like being stranded on an island.. no? But then again, the person leaving holds the responsibility for the action (and therefore, also the possible guilt), whereas the person left is just a 'byproduct' of the action. ...

Of course it's easier to leave. It's the difference between action and passivity. If you leave then you are doing something, progressing your life in some way, creating and ending and a new beginning, gaining closure. If you are left then there is no closure, you are left dangling, wondering "What if...", waiting. It's definitely easier to leave to to be left.

Leave. My mum left my dad when my brother and I were young and drove interstate without him knowing (he was away with work) and he came home to pretty much nothing. My mum had gotten a removalist company in, and left only basics behind for my dad. At the time he deserved it, but it made him much worse for a long time before he woke up to himself. I think his time being left-behind was far harder than us going. Although if I had been left behind with him, I might say differently.

ofcourse its easy but it sucks when you find out who you left is really hurting.

It is far harder to leave in my experience. I was in an unhappy relationship for 13 and a half years and it took me 3 of those years to pluck up the courage to leave. Once I did it I never looked back. Although both experiences aren't pleasant, time heals and you get over it. I am very happy now and if I feel a bit down, I remind myself that if it wasn't for me leaving or being left, I wouldn't be with the person I am with today.
