Relationship Advice...

So a while ago I broke up with my boyfriend and I feel really bad about it. I didn't break up with him because he cheated on me or he abused me. I broke up with him because I realized that I wasn't as in love with him as I thought. I was so in love with the fact that I was going to have a boyfriend that i mistook that for loving him. I feel really bad about it because he really wasn't a bad guy. He tried his best to make me happy and I first, I really was. Although we really couldn't meet up anywhere besides lunch, we texted each other everyday. We were just about the corniest couple. I even got super mad at one of my friends because he was criticizing us because we were an interracial couple. And he was super sweet and he agreed that our fist kiss should be special (We never did kiss though). But suddenly I started feeling really depressed when I was around him. It felt like an obligation and I don't think that I'm supposed to feel that way when in a relationship. Soon i stated thinking things like okay ill text him for a bit but then i'll just lie and say I'm busy so I can go do something else.... When I realized that a thought like that had gone through my brain, I realized that I didn't like him anymore. And I realized that I made some other mistakes like saying "I Love You" way too early in the relationship. So I told myself that it is better if i break off the relationship now, even if it might hurt him now, it would hurt him a lot more if I ended up doing it a lot later when or if we got way more serious in the relationship. So i mustered all my courage and broke it off. Was that the right choice??? People keep on telling me that I am a horrible person and other mean things and I know that breaking up with him was mean but I didn't want to hurt him anymore than what I was already doing. And because of it, I keep thinking back.... and I can see the face he made when we broke up... and.... and...... I just feel really bad. Did I do the right thing?

    To be honest, I have not experienced this before, however, I will try to reply without trying to sound like I do. (๑•ㅂ•)و✧

    *ahem*

    I think you did the right thing. I don't think those people were right to judge your decision because they don't understand the situation. Even myself I would have done the same thing. If it makes me look like the bad person, I would rather be that than hurt someone innocent. Since you said that he tried to even work things out by making you happy and such, I would think he would understand. However, if you haven't, tell him why you broke up with him. If you haven't told him, it might make him mad because he's not understanding the reason behind it.

    Yes, I will will be honest, he will get hurt and you will appear to be the bad person in this situation. However, if you honestly want a long lasting and real love relationship, you have done the right thing. Again, this purely my opinion. Also don't doubt yourself. Once you start to do that, then you would start to doubt yourself even more.
    So don't doubt yourself, mate!(/TДT)/ You are going to be okay ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ノ~

    A friend,

    There doesn't have to be a reason other than you don't feel it's right for you. That's reason enough!

    In all honesty, your decision turned out to be the wisest one. I believe that if you continued to drag it out, the relationship would have become quite toxic (speaking from personal experience). If anything, he would have noticed the distance between the two of you, which would have caused a much bigger strain. Of course, it hurts like mad, breaking it off, but this would be very much considered a clean break, and if you've talked it out with him properly, maybe you both can be on good terms. Not saying you'll be friends, but it's possible.

    As for everyone else who believes they have a say: until they take the time to understand the whole situation as it played out, then they have no business putting in their two cents. The relationship was between YOU and HIM, not you and him and Suzie and John and whoever else has an opinion on the matter, lol. Hope that helps!

    You did the right thing. I think that we are sometimes more in love with the thought of love itself and we tend to expect greater things than what we normally experience. And don't rush love because you'll never be younger than you are now. Enjoy the things that you can still do while it lasts. The time will come when that one person proves that time will go in slo mo and fireworks will be in the background. Sorry I'm a romantic. XD Till then, grow into a better person for that someone because he's probably doing the same thing for you somewhere. He'll be a great surprise for you. :)
