Did I do the right thing for breaking up with her because I thought she deserved better?

Question - (10 September 2008) 2 Answers - (Newest, 10 September 2008)
A male Canada age 41-50, anonymous writes:

I broke up with my girlfriend of almost 2 and a half years. She is devastated. She gave 110% to the relationship but I could not return it. She feels used and thinks that I am an awful person. She did deserve a better fate for all that she put into it.

I am messed up myself. I am feeling tremendous guilt for hurting her and at the same time missing her like crazy. We got a long great, and I love her, but I just felt that it wasn't right.

I have no clue on what to do. I keep questioning myself if I made the right decision.

Comments? Help?

I don't know... It sound like you have feelings for her! What was the reason you couldnt put as much into it? If it was something like timing/stress/ etc, you should have talked with her about it and maybe just asked for a little breathing room. If it was because you just KNEW shes not for you, then you did the right thing.

sappygirl agony auntPersonally I feel like you made the right decision.

It takes a lot of courage to know that she wasn't "the one" for you and end the relationship.

Personally i wish my ex husband did that to me and let me go so I can find the one who deserves me.

He held on to me for 10 years ...when he knew early on that I wasn't "the one". Now that is selfish.

Breakups are hard no matter how you look at it. Better now then later, when you look at her, she's pregnant with your kid, and you realize she was never "the one".

If you feel something is not right, that is usually your instinct and you should follow it.
