Break-ups suck.

7 years we have been together...I got the courage to do what I've felt I should do for 2 years...and now I am not sure if I made the right decision. It hurts. Does that mean I made the wrong decision?

You gotta do what's best for you, even if it hurts right now.

I wish I was 100% convinced I did what is best for me...right now I just don't know. I'm always haunted with thoughts that I'm just looking for something that doesn't exist, or that it's just some emotional handicap that I have.

Well, can you honestly say you've been happy in the last couple of years? If not, it was time to move on, y'know?

[ciaran_gabriel]

Not terribly unhappy, but not really satisfied. Obviously I came to that conclusion and initiated the breakup...but it's still very heartbreaking when someone has been part of your life for so long and care about you so much. And it's not that I didn't care, something just never felt right.

Yeah, if you're not satisfied, then you're unlikely to want to be that way for the rest of your life. Naturally, it hurts--you invested so much of yourself into it, there's no way it wouldn't hurt to some degree.
