Re: Just dumped my girlfriend after 6 years. Did I do well?

Good points, and you're right about fear. It goes both ways though. Fear of losing someone great, or fear of staying in a relationship that's not right. My problem lies in that once I say, we need to take a break, that's it. He will never speak to me again, and there will be no chance of future reconciliation. He's told me this in the past, and he says it's too hard to try and stay friends with someone, it makes it too hard to get over them. I get that, but my decision has such finality to it that I really am wrestling with it. I literally change my mind every minute. I start thinking, I'm strong, signs point to us not being right, I can move home and move on, and then I think about not having him in my life and I start crying again. I just don't know how to decide. Tweet
