Boy (and respective men) you better belive this is one of the DAMN HARDEST things you could ever do.
About 20 minuets ago from this post I broke up with my girlfriend. This was for one reason mainly in that she was going to be spending a lot of time away at university and it would form somthing like a "long distance relationship". Somthing which in my experiance never work...
I desperatly tried to break up with her in the best way where she doesnt run off crying or she doesnt storm out angry... for the most part I failed.
She cried a little (holding back most of it from what I could see) as I talked about how I didnt think it would work, but how I didnt want to upset her, and how there is a lot of shit going on in my life and having a 'LDR' would not help things on my end. I tried my best to comfort her, reasuring her that it wasnt about her, wasnt about stuff that had happened that morning (sex) wasnt in any way her fault or somthing wrong with her, it was just that... well, I honestly felt it wasnt going to work, and rather than stay with her longer (increasing the ammout of pain when we did break up) I decided to do the only honourable thing. I broke up with her, as tenderfootedly as possible.
Of course, it went anything but smoothly, and I would just like to ask everyone else on here if any of their relationships broke up 'peacefully'. I doubt there has ever been a relationship that has broken up in the 'perfect' way, but I would just like to hear other people experiances to try and gain some sort of idea on how bad this one went.
She walked out not turning back to say goodbye, crying slightly. I know that she will now go home and cry more, and that makes me feel REALLY bad. The last thing I wanted to do, my absolute priority was not to upset her, and I failed.
