How come when you tell people that youre going through a tough break up they always say youre young & there are many fish in the sea? I believe that when you find that special someone that & youre content you shouldnt try and let go & move on. Am I wrong?

    If they have left you...you need to let go, cuz that 1 REAL LOVE is still waiting on you...the one who "wont ever let you go"...You think something is good...but there is always something better...until you find..."The one"

    I agree. I think people only say that to make you feel better, even though it's such a cliche that you don't even bother to care. If you go through a break up, I think it's best to take a break all together and pamper your own self. Do things to make yourself feel better and not just rush into anything. If your ex does the same, and doesn't just go on to the next runner up, then maybe over time you'll end up back together with them.

    For lack of anything better (or comforting) to say. It's an awkward (sp? grr lol) time because the person you're telling it to may have just a lack of words to say. Plus, it's almost a reflex to say things like that. Just like in the break up, it always seems like it's the old stand-bys "It's not you, it's me" "I need some time to think" and "We should see other people".

    When people refer to "many fish in the sea", it sounds like they're implying that we'll take just about anyone because we're lonely. I guess, for most of us, that's true. But, it certainly doesn't give us healthy encouragement, does it? Whether you decide to move on, or not, we'll still feel hurt. We'd have to have a different aim altogether, a different perspective on relationships.

    If they are saying that there are pleny of fish in the sea then obviously you are not content. And, instead there are major problems with your relationship. That doesn't make it any less annoying though. It's something for people to say to make them feel as if they helped when they actually haven't at all.

    yes we should not just let go something that ment to us alot and we should always give it one last shot and if it doesnt work then it was for a reason youll finally get the right fish from the sea.

    I think it's because the more experianced people know that while you love them letting go is a very hard thing to do when you are young, especially if it is the first time you ever had to. It doesn't mean that you shouldn't strive for contentment but that you should strive with someone else. Once a break up happens it is usually for good and holding on to something that isn't there isn't good for you and not the way to get over it. Letting go, even though it is scary and painful is something you have to do. It never gets easier, but with age and experiance older people know when you do let go, and the quicker you do, the quicker better and new things happen.

    It's not that I'm are giving bad advice, or that I am are belittling those who are young, it's just I have been there and done that. When Isay there is more fish in the sea...I really mean it...I found someone after all my ex's.


    x's to me are wonderful memories on my path to the man that was made for me...=)
