You are not responsible for other people and their emotions. You’re allowed to break up with people if you don’t want to be with them. You’re allowed to terminate relationships of any kind when you feel they are no longer affecting you in a positive way. You’re allowed to change your mind. You’re allowed to love someone, but still decide you don’t want to be with them. You’re not responsible for the other person’s reaction, it is their responsibility to heal and not yours. If they try to verbally attack you and/or manipulate you into feeling sorry for them, remember not to let their pain add to your own pain. Being left is never easy, but neither is staying in an unfulfilling relationship and being unhappy just to spare the other person. You’re not the bad guy for leaving someone. Stop feeling guilty for making decisions that affect your wellbeing. Your wellbeing should always be your number one priority.
