My break-up email was a litany of blame (on him), and excuses why I couldn't be his gf. Not once did I take responsibility for myself. I guess I wanted him to feel really sorry. Not that he was a horrible bf. But I wanted him to feel like one. I guess I needed to assuage my guilt on leaving a perfectly nice guy.
I think you'll continue to feel very bad about this until to talk to him (even just on the phone) and apologize for pinning it all on him. Tell him you why you felt this relationship wasn't working. I think just about anybody deserves that.

Breaking up with him may have been the right thing, but unless he abused you or victimized you, he is deserving of the truth here.

Don't be scared of being single. If you can't be comfortably single, I doubt your relationships will be healthy. Everybody I know who is constantly in a relationship has poor self-esteem. Embrace singleness!

Do the right thing.
