I was dating the NICEST guy in the world. Romantic, sweet, etc. But something just "went away" and I had to break up with him cause he wasn't the right person for me. And I needed to be with the right person.
Are you sure the only thing was that you needed him to be more romantic? My husband is a WONDERFUL man...but he never buys me flowers, etc. So I buy em' for myself! LOL No joke! i buy myself cards, etc. I buy myself gifts and I am "romantic" for myself. I know my hubby loves me more than anything even though he doesn't know how to express it....
Anyhow...you have to do what is best for you no matter what!
What do you do now? Feel the pain. Cry. Call your friends. Post on the boards. Feel awful for a while. Time DOES heal things...but you're not going to feel good right now. That's because you're a sensative, caring person and you are not only hurting but someone you care about is hurting too. PLEASE give yourself time with this. Go get a facial. Throw a sleep over party. On V-day do something for YOU that will make you happy. If you like reading...buy a new book. If you like art...start a project or work on whatever you;re doing. Take time to indulge in yourself. You're worth it!
Don't feel bad for the timing of the break up. I got broken up with on V-day before. (The guy was rotten but for other reasons....). It doesn't matter WHEN it happens...it hurts no matter what. You needed to do this for yourself! PLEASE don't feel guilty. (Only one thing to consider though: Maybe he had something planned for V-day and you were afraid he WOULD be romantic and then you would "have" to stay with him? Maybe there are other things too? Just a thought).
You didn't do anything wrong. On the contrary. You are VERY brave and you took care of yourself and did what would be best for both of you.
You're VERY strong Sheri! And remember...we love ya and we're always here for you, ok? Keep posting and venting and crying and whatever...cause we care!
