The only person who can answer those questions is you.

Your life, you have to live and learn on your own.

Based on your posts about her you didn't really seem THAT into her and expressed guilt over not feeling as strongly as she has for months. So that should tell you something.

Your feelings are normal and since you had already came to this point prolonging it would just make it worse.

Wow, she fixed all that? That's good.

Did her ex husband ever sign the divorce papers?

Right now you're just going through the grief stage of not having something that you're used to. That's why people tell you to stay busy after a breakup so your mind doesn't keep wandering back to that list.

You did the right thing. You were not as into her as she was into you.

Are you asking how long will it take her to recover? We can't know that. We she upset? Have you had any contact since?

Would you be upset if you found out she was just fine, and found a new guy?

Everyone deserves to have fireworks if that's what their aim is. I know I've felt it a few times, so I'm not hanging out for 9 months of "this is kinda nice". I feel like someone would be lucky to have me as their SO, so if they're just feeling MEH, then don't do me no favors. Know what I mean?

Yeah, you did the right thing for sure.

Why do you feel horrible? Is it because you feel you hurt her? Or because you miss her?

As for whether or not you did the right thing, you'll figure that out soon enough.

If you continue to feel horrible and that feeling just won't go away, then you probably made a mistake.

I feel bad because I broke her heart and she’s is going through a lot of pain now. She was crying. I do also miss her, but I think that’s just because of all the time we spent together and constant communication. I miss having her in my life. All our inside jokes, her voice, our things we did together, her hugs and kisses. I am feeling better though, And it hasn’t been a week yet. But when we were still a couple, I didn’t miss her as much.

The grass is always greener. Back-and-forth, hot-and-cold is not a good way to live IMO, so I would stick with your decision. It would hurt her worse if you go back to her now and then dump her again in a few months.

I have had to break up with someone I cared about who really wanted to be with me - it's the worst feeling in the world, but gets better with time. Best of luck.

Well, if you still don't deeply love her, then I guess it wasn't meant to be. People can look great "on paper". That still doesn't mean they're THE ONE, so don't feel bad that you seem to be wondering why you didn't love her more.

I'm not one for staying friends w/ exes, so don't try to stay in touch here & there, hang out sometimes, & all that, just be done for good then.
