I Regret Being in Relationship
In the past I was in a relationship where I constantly felt like I'm doing something wrong. I didn't feel loved and I did everything I could to make the other person affectionate towards me. I asked a lot of people and googled various questions and came to a conclusion that the other person didn't know how to show affection. I genuinely loved them, hence I didn't want to hear anything negative about them. I thought its okay not to feel loved and continued the relationship for four years with me feeling insecure, unloved and overall disappointed. Then I made the obvious choice to break up. And when I did, I didn't feel sad. I just felt relieved. I thought to myself why didn't I do this before. I was really relaxed after so long. Then I was approached by another person who showered me with lots of affection. I, who had not experienced such affection, loved receiving it. I thought I was in love with them and agreed to be in relationship. Now we're 5 months in relationship, and that person still loves me a lot but, I, slowly started to realise that I used them to fill a void in my heart. I believe I am the worst. I regret being in relationship, I regret that I gave him hope. I want them to be happy. I feel I ruined their first love by giving false hope.

Darling that's called being human. Craving affection doesn't make you a bad person & I would assume that you haven't treated him badly while going out & that's what counts. You shouldn't feel regretful because of the happy memories you made while being together, didn't you have fun with him? It's your choice what you want to do from now on but my advice would be: can you really commit & make him happy? Just think about it, you don't have to rush anything.
