Thoughts about a conscious, loving, respectful break-up of a relationship?

After giving it my best try, telling him that I was thankful for him but that I needed freedom, he was extremely angry and told me how mean I was for letting him fall in love and then tossing him aside for another man. I can see how our relationship looks that way, but I truly loved him - meant it when I said it - but I trust that the Universe wants me to learn from this relationship and move to the next one that suits me better...does this make any sense?

If I take him back, it will be out of guilt, rather than being in alignment with my desires. The new man I've met is more interesting intellectually and is very affectionate as well.

Sorry if this post is all over the place. I have a lot to reflect upon. I think one of my core beliefs is "Hurting other people emotionally is always bad and wrong." Which makes this break-up situation very difficult.
