Hi, me and my girlfriend were together for almost 1 year and 6 months and we've been through a lot! And lately, we had a lot of discussions. I kept my anger within myself for a long, long time. But i just couldn't handle it anymore.

So a few days ago i made up my mind and i broke up with her. She keeps sending me texts asking me if i would reconsider if she stopped all the drama about small meaningless things. I would, but in the back of my mind i know that some day, the drama will come back. And when it does i'll be in the same damn spot im in right now. The fact she has another religion and i haven't met her family, because she is scared of how they'll react, doesn't make the relationship any easier.

I tried to do my best, i gave her my all, i never yelled at her while she was, i always took the blame even though it was her fault, and i just cannot do this anymore. I love her to death, but i'm fed up. She's a very beautiful, attractive woman and i hate the fact that she'll find someone to be happy with in the future, but i can't be selfish so, i have to live with it now i made this decission.


Now i'm just wondering.. Did i do the right thing? I feel like i do, but on the other side, i want to get back with her so badly, but i'm just 24, i got my whole life in front of me and i don't want to make it any harder for either one of us.

Sounds like you made a well-considered decision.

She didn't give herself 100% to you. Noone should be hidden from the family for a year and a half. If she was that hung up on such differences it was bound to end sooner or later

You did what you had to do for you and that is what is important.

There's no way to really know since we were not inside your relationship, but for what you typed it sounds like you did the right thing.

Go with your gut. It sounds like deep down you know the answer, you just need to stick to your guns. That's hard and it's supposed to be. Just power through this part and you'll be okay.

The fact it's hard just means your human. Feelings don't die because you want them too unfortunately. Letting go is a process, even when you are doing the right thing. We've all been there. **hugs**

In the long run she'll be fine and so will you.

You are young, if it is not working, it's not working, best to let go and move forward.
