I ended a long term relationship and I keep feeling guilty and sad for my ex, even if it was the right decision. How do you cope with it?

@friendlySky959

We should not feel guilty about ending what is not working for us...

Do they feel guilty for you not being happy?   

We cannot spare other people's feelings unless we want to settle for not getting our needs met. relationships only work when both people are satisfied.
