Someone tell me I've done the right thing

My boyfriend and I have just broken up on good terms.

I hardy saw him any more and don't think I really fancied him at all any more.

I see him more as a friend.

But now it is done and over, I feel crap, really lonely and just horrible.

I am about to embark on a new chapter on my life and think it is the right thing but this horrible feeling in my tummy is making me feel miserable.

Someone tell me I've done the right thing.

If you managed to say it, then you did the right thing. You'll be grieving over your relationship but things will get better - this sounds wierd but i used to get excited being single again. You have done the right thing!!!!

It's perfectly normal to feel regret and sadness. Joy will come along at some point...

You've definitely done the right thing. Life is too short to waste any of it on an unsatisfactory relationship. Best of luck as you move forward.

Thank you, that's what I needed. I was excited at being single again whilst in a relationship however now it is over, I just feel awful and wondering if I've done the right thing.

I hope this feeling goes soon. It's been so long since I've had it that I don't remember.

Sky I think if you get to the stage of considering it carefully, cannot see a happy present or future in it then you have done the right thing.

Well that's what I have been telling myself as I broke up with my bf this morning. Many reasons, we were just not suited. He is a lovely, lovely man but some things just can't be fixed. I don't want to be single, its been that way too long but I know it's better to be alone than lonely in a relationship, I hope I've done the right thing too.

It hurts like hell, I miss him and I hope he is ok. I've kicked the phone under the bed. I don't know what to do. Apologies if I'm hijacking, but I think its normal to feel sad even if you are the one who makes the decision.

Yes that is the same as me. It was this morning too.

He is a lovely guy, very kind and caring and deserves to be happy with someone but I do not have the feelings/attraction to him that I should do.
I just hope I can find someone who is as kind, caring and trustworthy!

I need to do something to keep myself busy I think
