Feel terrible for breaking his heart

[Tryingtobepositive123]

Hi,
I decided to leave the father of my two kids a few weeks ago. He's been v grumpy and cantankerous for years. Since I said i was off he's cleaned up his act and is utterly devastated. I know it's the right thing to do but feel so gutted and sad to have broken his heart.
Can I have any words of wisdom / experience to feel a bit less guilty? I know deep down he will be fine.

He's been v grumpy and cantankerous for years, and has been making an effort for a few weeks. Funny that, eh? Don't let his recent realisation he's an arse, sway your decision. You've obviously had enough and he's too late. Good luck for the future.

Thank you. You're right.

He wasn't worried about breaking your heart when he was grumpy for years, did he?

And now you know that he could have made an effort and been a nice person when you were together. He just couldn't be arsed.

Stick to your guns!

Best wishes for a happy future 💐
