setting free happens when you're partner is not happy with you anymore and you have to set him/her free. you can't say "i don't love you anymore so i have to set you free." it's the opposite.
was i able to give justice to the question?

well said, rain|spirit.
My take on this is: LETTING GO means, acceptance... being happy for the other person (brace yourself because it is easier said than done esp if love nimo xa). SETTING FREE means, allowing your heart to heal... wala man ka gipa asa, if you were told from the very start kung unsa jud status - then mao na, you don't have the right to be angry or feel betrayed. So, better, set your mind and heart free of all pain and guilt na lang (again, there's a temptation to feel angry. Don't).
