Don’t Give Up On Someone You Love

Unconditional love

When you love someone, you don’t give up, no matter what. I’m a strong believer that that’s exactly what true love means.

wYou don’t give up someone you love even when they try to make you give up on them.

That might seem irrational to you, but nothing about love is logical or rational; love doesn’t make sense.

You don’t know why you love someone.

Of course, you can name many of their qualities, but you don’t know why you truly love them; you simply do. And that is the essence of true love.

There are probably many other guys around you that might be more handsome, more educated, and funnier. But you simply don’t care.

This person is everything you need and want.

You can’t explain it to yourself, nor to others, but it’s like you can’t breathe without him, and you simply can’t imagine your existence without this person.

You don’t give up on him even when he wants you to, and you keep fighting for him because his love is the greatest thing you could possibly win.

There are plenty of reasons not to give up on someone you love, but only one is enough, and it’s that love is something worth fighting for.

These days, people seem to give up on love quickly, without a fight. Whenever the slightest problem occurs, people run away.

They can’t handle each other’s personalities and each other’s problems.

Nobody is the same, but people seem to be so self-centered that they can’t even imagine putting someone else’s needs in front of their own, even for a second.

But love is so much more; or at least, it should be.

When you love someone, you commit to that person, and you should be with them through good and bad times, through thick and thin.

If you love someone, there is no running away at the first glance of problems. When you love someone, you never leave this person alone.

Life always brings us many challenges, and loving someone isn’t always easy.

Problems occur that make us think it’s too much work to fight for that love so we give up on them and move on to someone else.

The problem is, that person won’t be perfect either.

There will be problems again, and if you keep quitting whenever they appear, you’ll never achieve anything.

More importantly, you’ll never get to have true love.

Love isn’t always simple. It’s often hard, emotionally challenging, burdening, and tiring. You often feel exhausted and like you can’t take it anymore.

However, when you imagine what your life would look like if that person was not around, you suddenly realize it’s all worth it.

You don’t care what other people think, you don’t care if you look desperate, and the only thing you care about is him.

People tell you that you deserve more and better but nobody knows how you feel.

Nobody is inside your head, and others can never know the depth of your emotions.

They can tell you that it’s not worth it, but what they don’t realize is that it’s completely worth it to you, because you would do anything for the person you love.

You would do anything for them, even if it hurts you… even if they hurt you, as a matter of fact.

When you give someone your heart, you let them do whatever they want to it, and you can only hope they’ll keep it safe.

Sometimes, the person you love will hurt you, maybe even intentionally, but that won’t stop you from loving them.

You’ll even find excuses for them, and make yourself believe that they didn’t intend to do what they did.

All you want is to keep loving them, and when you love someone, you don’t give up.

Even when you can’t think of any reasons not to give up on someone you love, just the fact that you love them serves you as a good enough reason.

When you love a man, he means more to you than anything in the world.

His happiness is everything to you, and you would do even the impossible to see him happy. 

You feel strength you didn’t know you possessed when it comes to him.

You are never tired, you are never scared, and you would do anything in your power to protect him and what you have.

However, the best proof that you love someone is that you never even think about giving up on them. No matter what he does, you’ll be there for him.

Even when he has hurt you, you have always found excuses for him.

You are realistic, you are very well aware of his flaws and imperfections, but you stand by his side despite them.

Actually, you don’t love him despite his flaws, you love him because of them.

He sometimes annoys you and gets on your nerves, but when you come to think about it, you would never change a thing about him, even if you could, because you love him for who he is.

If he changed anything, he wouldn’t be the same person you fell in love with in the first place.

You want to see him grow and improve, but stay loyal to himself.

You’ve always believed in him, even when he lost all hope, and you are there for him to push him forward and catch him if he falls because that is the true purpose of love.

You are not just lovers and romantic partners; when it comes to true love, you are best friends and family.

And you don’t leave your best friend behind, no matter the cost.

You stay by his side no matter what happens and help him deal with his problems because you can deal with anything as long as you do so together.

Don’t give up on him if you really love him because love takes effort.

You don’t give up on someone you love just because it’s not easy to love them so don’t allow anything or anyone to stop you from being with the person you love.

Don’t let people discourage you. Most people around us like to give pieces of advice and act smart when someone else’s life is at stake.

Don’t let anyone tell you that your love or relationship is not worth it.

You shouldn’t let anyone assure you that true love doesn’t exist and that you shouldn’t fight for it.

You’re the only one who is in control of your life, and you will have to deal with the consequences of your actions.

So, if you have found someone who you know is worth fighting for, go for it and never give up.

When you love someone, you don’t give up on them because that simply isn’t an option.

All couples fight and encounter problems in their relationships, but giving up should never be an option if they love each other.

There isn’t a problem you can’t solve as long as you love each other. You just need to be willing to work on your relationship.

When we’re in love, we often use the phrases, “I couldn’t imagine my life without you,” “I can’t live without you,” or, “I can’t stop loving you.”

If you really mean what you say when you say those expressions, you simply can’t give up on the person you love even if you wanted to.

They are like the air you breathe, and you can’t give up on breathing. Giving up is easy, but when you’re in love, you don’t do the easy thing, you do the right thing.

Relationships aren’t easy, and you have to make sacrifices and compromises to make them work.

Either you go through everything holding hands, or you don’t start the relationship in the first place.

Relationships don’t consist only of cozy nights, hugs, warmth, and carefree mornings, but of tears, drama, anger, and fights as well.

And it’s in those hard times that you see if you truly love each other…

Because if you truly love each other, you don’t let yourselves give up as soon as there’s uncertainty.

If you truly love each other, you can’t just throw away all that you have built together just because of some silly disagreement.

No matter how much effort it takes, you don’t end your relationship over something that you can fix.

You don’t let true love go once you have finally found it, because there’s nothing you can’t talk through.

Of course, you’ll weep, argue, and shout, but you won’t ever give up.

When you love someone, you always give them the benefit of the doubt.

You always try to think of what you can do to salvage your relationship and make it even better.

Don't Give Up On Someone You Love 31

If you truly love each other, you stay up all night trying to figure out solutions to your problems, because you aren’t ready to give up, at least not without a fight.

You don’t just stay by their side only when it seems convenient for you to do so.

If you truly love each other, you don’t just stick together only when everything’s going well, but when things get hard too. 

Even when you’re at a low point and feel vulnerable, you stick around.

Love isn’t about disappearing when your partner needs you, and reappearing when you need your partner.

You would never let the person you love feel alone and go through things by themselves because you’re in it together.

Whether they are happy or hurt, you stay with them, hold them in your arms, and convince them that everything will be okay.

You know that you can survive anything as long as you’re together.

Trust me, there’s nothing two people who love each other can’t overcome, as long as they truly love each other.

Let me tell you something from my own experience. I had an ex who would always give up on me, whenever things got tough.

When I needed him the most, he would simply leave me to suffer alone.

Actually, whenever things wouldn’t go his way, he would walk away, leaving me to beg him to come back.

As I said in the beginning, I’m a strong believer that when you love someone, you don’t give up, so I didn’t.

I loved him more than I loved myself, and no matter how much he hurt me, I didn’t want to give up.

That man completely broke me, and it was only after years of trying to have a healthy relationship that I realized how toxic it was and that I should give up.

I’m telling you this because, sometimes, you have to give up, no matter how much you love them, and that’s when they don’t love you.

He never truly loved me and never would, and that is when you need to give up.

When a man shows signs that he doesn’t love you anymore, when he isn’t willing to put any effort into the relationship, you shouldn’t waste your time.

However, I have another example, and it’s about the man I dated after him.

When I met that man, I was still getting over my ex, and I wasn’t ready to love again.

I fell in love with him, but the pain I’d been through made me try to push him away.

There he was, that amazing man who seemed like the true Prince Charming I’d always dreamed of, but I was too broken to be the princess he deserved.

I was a mess, but he loved me despite it.

No matter how many problems he noticed I had, he stayed by my side and told me he wanted to help me solve them.

I felt like I didn’t deserve that, so I kept pushing him away but he stayed and kept fighting for our love.

This all happened at the beginning of our relationship because I wasn’t sure I could love again. I thought I was simply too broken.

The truth is, I thought I’d make him as broken as I was, but instead, he helped me put my pieces back together.

I couldn’t understand why he didn’t want to give up on me to find someone better, but then he told me, “When you love someone, you don’t give up,” and that was the first time he told me he loved me.

It was then that I finally got the courage to give him my heart and overcome the fear that he’d only break it.

He still has my heart, and now I have no more doubts that he’ll keep it safe because he promised me that on our wedding day.

Looking back on how I tried to push him away when we started dating made me realize that I actually wanted to be sure he was someone who wouldn’t ever give up on me.

I now know for certain that the thought of it never even crossed his mind, and never will.

He helped me become who I am now, and that is someone who’s far from broken, but I probably still would be broken if he had given up on me.

The reason why I told you these two stories is to make you see the difference between a toxic relationship and true love.

When the person you love doesn’t love you and treats you badly, you should give up.

However, when the person you love just has some problems, you shouldn’t give up, no matter how much those problems make them try to push you away.

Don’t give up on someone you love just because they’re broken because once you help them heal, they’ll see what you saw in them all along.

A relationship isn’t like a cup that you simply replace once it’s broken because your love is the glue that will help you put the pieces back together.

If there are problems in your relationship, you’ll find ways to solve them as long as you truly love each other. Nothing can stand in the way of true love.

Things change, and once the problem you have is behind you, you’ll look at it as a loving memory of the time your love turned out to be stronger than anything that could test it.

Don't Give Up On Someone You Love 37

All couples deal with all sorts of issues during their relationships, but when they love each other, they do anything they can to fix things.

As long as they’re both willing to do that, they’ll succeed in fixing them.

My attitude at the beginning of our relationship probably caused my husband pain, but you know what?

I have a whole lifetime to make it up to him, and I started doing that from the moment I realized it was true love.

The only time fighting for love isn’t worth it is when you’re certain that the person you love doesn’t love you and never will. In any other case, it’s worth it to at least try to fight for that love.

I’m not saying that not giving up will always be easy, but it will always be worth it.

After all, in the end, we don’t regret the chances we take, but the chances we don’t take.

Every love story has a chance of having a happy ending, but to get there, you can’t give up when things get tough.

The person you love needs you the most when there are problems in your relationship, and that is when you prove your love to them.

It’s easy to say, “I love you,” but to really mean it, your actions need to say it too.

When you’re ready to give up on someone you love, you don’t really love them as much as you say you do.

Fixing a relationship is always possible as long as giving up on it is not an option you’re willing to consider.

No one ever said that relationships are perfect or easy. Relationships are actually hard work, but it’s all worth it when you get to have your happily ever after.

After all, things in life that are worth having don’t come easy, and that includes relationships.

Don't Give Up On Someone You Love 39

There will be times when you’ll even doubt that it’s all worth it, but trust me when I tell you that it is.

When you find your soulmate, you can’t ever let them go.

Don’t take the easy way out and walk away from the possibility of spending the rest of your life with the person you’re thinking of right now.

If you do, you’ll surely regret it, and you don’t want to spend the rest of your life wondering what could have been if you had only fought for your love.

All relationships go through hardships, and it’s simply something you can’t avoid. You will hurt the person you love, and they will hurt you.

However, as long as you don’t give up, all those tears will be worth it.

Don’t leave a lifetime of good moments behind because of one bad moment, as that is not worth it.

Don't Give Up On Someone You Love 40

Every single day, I wake up thankful that my man didn’t give up on me because I now have my best friend to wake up next to for the rest of my life.

When you feel the need to give up on the person you love, remember what drew you together.

Remember that you couldn’t imagine your life without them and that they always deserve a second chance because you always need to give true love a chance.

Don’t give up on someone you love because they’re worth the trouble. Love isn’t something you can simply walk away from when things get tough.

Those tough times will, in the end, only bring you closer together.

One day, when you’re an old couple sitting on a bench and holding hands, you’ll look back on those hard times, and smile at each other because you made it.

Then you’ll know for sure that it was all worth it, because true love always is.
