ELI5: what is the logic behind letting someone go if you love them ?

wouldnt you rather have them stay ?

The issue is that if you love someone, and genuinely love them, you want the best for them. Even if the best for them isn't you. You care about them enough that you just want them to be happy, and though  it'd make you happy to have them with you, you know that you aren't the one who can give them the happiness and joy they deserve.

True love is putting the needs of someone else above your own. If you really love someone, then you'll make the decision that is best for them, even if it makes things hard for you.

Don't mistake love with infatuation.
