Partner #1 feels that it's a dead end relationship though. Despite there being no infidelities or dishonesties in the relationship, Partner #1 doesnt' see or want the same future as partner #2. So Partner #1 breaks things off with Partner #2, by telling him/her "I think we should explore other options, live life seperately so that we can grow as individuals, and hopefully our paths will cross and link back but, but for now I need my space." Who has it worse in this situation? Would it be harder to the be the one who has to break up with their partner? Or would it be harder to be partner #2 and get broke up with?

Then, to my surprise, he broke up with me and told me he was living my life and not his. That he had to live his life to get better. It hurts a lot. However, even with this pain, I would rather be broken up with. I know I will never have to worry that I made the wrong decision. I will never feel regret for that decision. I am sure I hurt more now, but he may hurt more later.

 it is always harder to be broken up with, you are being rejected and that is heartbreaking.
doing the breakup is doing something you want to do. even in this situation, it will be sad at first and hard to break the news but eventually this person will probably get over it sooner than the other.
