did i do the right decision

[yassy01]

Im currently having a shaky relationship with my 5 months BF. We are of different culture and i did believe love would make a difference. We love each other and we are now decided to part ways and i do believe it would be the best thing for us. He still keep on saying how much he cares and love me and its also painful for him to let me go but he did go for engagement in his hometown. Can anyone enlighten me as i am totally lost. Thanks

I have loved people and come to understand that continuing the romantic relationship was not in my best interest and to believe it would not be in the best interest of my then partner. I spoke to my partner and ended the romantic relationship.

Breaking up still had the emotional feeling of loss and pain even though I knew it was best for me. Releasing the pain was a process that took many months. I think it is common for people to mourn the loss of a desired relationship just as it is common to mourn a death of a beloved person.

We spent twelve years together. I still love my then partner but as a friend and still believe that ending our romantic journey together was a good choice.

If you continue to go separate ways you will probably continue to feel and emotional tug of war for some time. I hope you find clarity in this and all aspects of your life.
