I broke up with my boyfriend few months ago. one of the main reasons was i was feeling so pressurized to always be the best for him, to always say and do the right thing. And i have been doing some things out of my comfort zone to make him feel better. I realized how this was taking a toll on me. So i broke up with him. When i promised him that i would never leave him. I still feel guilty for doing this to him. I dont know if its the right thing or not.

Did you try to talk to your boyfriend about your situation before breaking up?

My girlfriend broke up with me the same way when we were about to go into long distance. I don't know the exact reason but the only thing she tells is that relationship and all are not her things as she feels emotionless and doesn't want to get emotionally attached with me. Although she also might have been suffering from the same problem as you were. She's not ready to listen to anything what I say.. doesn't even respond to me about us anymore.. The thing here is, although I know I maybe at fault for the burden I put on her, she should have atleast talked before ending it up. Might be, chances are that we would have come to an agreement where I compromise and we could've saved it. See, I can't say if you're guilty or not for this but if you're really feeling guilty and want things to work out with him then it's better you approach him, tell him your side of the story.. see if anyone of you can compromise.. and if that works out try not to repeat these things in future. Otherwise you know the hard way!

It sounds like this was the right thing for you. Never forget you’re the priority always no matter what. The guilt is understandable but will go away eventually once you realize this was the best thing you could’ve done for yourself. Stay strong sending lots of love ❤️
