I don’t know how to be happy

I broke up with my on/off boyfriend of three years officially about a month ago… I loved him but soooo many things played a part of us breaking up. It was to the point where I was basically a therapist/mother to him cause his family sheltered him to the point of no return (he barely did anything for himself) and it made me resent him a bit. Which cause some issues for myself…. I didn’t want to leave because I thought I was the only thing keeping him together (that’s how bad it was) During the times we were off I hung out with a friend from from college and I regretfully began to have some feelings for him. I wanted to officially end it with my guy cause I didn’t think it was fair and we agreed as we thought it would give it time to work on ourselves (we’re still friends) but I get the feeling that the other guy likes me and even if I wanted to date again (not anytime soon) I feel so hopeless like I don’t know if we’ll even be a good match or if I’m even good enough. I still cry sometimes cause I feel like I failed and ruined my last relationship. I don’t know how to handle a relationship anymore especially because I don’t to burden anyone with my issues either… I feel like it’s best to be alone so I don’t hurt anyone again.

Its not like, that you will fail at it.

Okayy, you were right at your point, because in order to support him, you llat yourself at a point (i would say).

Take time for yourself and its not like you cannot date again because you did not do anything wrong or anything that would hurt anyone.

Even if you think that you wont make a good match, you never know whats their for you in future, right?!..

I think that you handled your situation very maturely and made a correct decision, because it would take a lot of strength and guts to end something. And if you can do this then i would say you can be an amazing, honest and loyal patner🤗
