I don't think I love my boyfriend anymore. Did I do the right thing by breaking up with him?

Oh honey I have the same issue. I know exactly how you feel. You regret breaking up with him but the only reason you do is because you hate the fact that he is hurt and it is all your fault. But it is not! You cannot help how you feel. You did the right thing. Don't sacrifice your happiness for someone elses. It will take time but he will get over it. If he loves you as much as he says he does he will settle for friendship.

Aw hun it's always hard when a relationship ends. Some times you are so "blinded by love" that you don't notice when someone else might not be feeling the same anymore. I think that he might have seen that you were nearing the 2 year mark and started to get scared of the big commitment that is and how the fun of the honeymoon period has gone. He might of not been ready for such a huge commitment and thats why he was picking arguments. Or maybe he has seen someone else just start a relationship and the spark of there meeting has made him think your relationship is slightly flat? He could have just meet someone else? The possiblitys are endless but you have to accept his desision. How would it feel to be back together when something made him unhappy and not want to be in a relationship anymore? I don't think that you should call him, wait for him to call you. In the mean time i think you should have your cry day and then pick yourself up and show him what he is missing. Good luck babe and there is plenty more fish in the sea (even though it might not feel like that now)

It's the right thing to do, because the way you respond to his sweet acts will eventually be bitter, if it wasn't already. Then he'll be hurt even more in the long run.

I think most relationships end up like that at some point, and maybe it's just a loss of passion and not of love. Love is said to be passion, affection, and commitement. Passion is the most short-lived part. It's probably best not to judge whether or not you still love a person based on how much passion there is. (Not saying passion isn't important, just not the most important.)

Yes, you should have broke up with him. How nice and loving a person is does not determine if two people connect or are compatible.

Like you said, he deserves to be loved in return the same way that he loves. You can't marry him just to spare his feelings. Both of you will be miserable in the end. If this is how you feel now, get out now before getting divorced later. It's best to be 100% sure you both share the same passion for each other, common interests, common goals, common personality, etc.

Yes you did. While it is good that you feel that way for him and don't wish to hurt him there is a big rule in dating all should follow: "Love yourself first." If you are feeling like a relationship isn't working the way you want or just don't feel the spark anymore then don't. You only get 1 life and you shouldn't have to spend any of that time sitting in a situation that could be bad for you. Even if it's only just you who feels down about it fix it. You should always come first. As for him he'll get over it. If he doesn't and he descends to deppression or god forbid thoughts of suicide thats relationship abuse. He should never make you feel uncomfortable or upset because ofa break up. Just remember that you ALWAYS come first.

Hope this helps :)

No, you did not do the right thing. You feel regret and even said that you don't want him out of your life. Try this...

Sit down with a piece of paper and a pen(cil) and I want you to list every little thing bad that he did, this includes all of his bad qualities. Then flip the piece of paper over and list every thing good that he did, which includes all of his good qualities. Now look at both sides of the paper which obviously has the most writing on it if it is the bad side then at least apologize and try to help him move on, introduce him to new people, or (as bad as this sounds) don't hang out with him as much. If it is the good side QUICK run and get him back!!!

Hope this helps some!

You did the right thing for him and for yourself, It is normal to feel empty and miss someone that you have gotten used to and that has been a big part of your life. Get involved with other things and give yourself (and him) time to adjust. Later on you may be able to have a friendship after you both have had some time.

He has used all his charms to manipulate you into feeling guilty to stay with him and it would only have gotten worse.

yes you did. Your only 21 and have some years of living to do before you settle down. he is 28 and ready to settle down. your just at 2 different points in your life. who knows what will happen a few years from now you may end up back together. but for now move on and live a little while you still can.

YESSSSSSSSS! you did do the RIGHT thing!!! you are RIGHT! it sounds like a miserable relationship and staying for the sake of him as a person is not a goooooood reason...in the long run it would hurt him more.... i had the same prob....i loved a guy for a yr and then the last 6 months of the realtionship iw as like blah and in return was kinda mean to him...i felt like was missing out becasue i wasnt truely happy and i ended up doing things behind his back and hurting him more in the end...the longer youn wait.........the harder it is sooooo yeah you did tghe right thing and TIME will make it better! gooooooooood luck

Nobody said doing the right thing was EASY...welcome to adult life.

You did the right thing. I did the same thing when i was in college, and now I am married to someone who was worth the wait.

Let it go, be happy for him, and let him be free to find that someone who will love him the way he loved you. She is out there, and he deserves her.

Best of Luck.
