Berteau Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 I broke up with a girl who I had been seeing for 9 months, and she confessed she was deeply in love with me two months before, but I was just not feeling strongly enough unfortunately. It’s been hard on me knowing I hurt someone so deeply that I did care a lot about, and I do still miss her as we spent so much time together. Is this guilt normal? Link to post Share on other sites
The Outlaw Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Rejection/breaking up hurts both sides, so yes, it's normal. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
ExpatInItaly Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Yes, it's normal. When I broke up with my first serious boyfriend, it troubled me a lot to know how much I had hurt him. Even more than 15 years after the fact, I can still remember the look on his face when I broke the news that I wanted to end it. That guilt stayed with me for quite a while. It does diminish over time, though. I had to remind myself that staying with him would ultimately have led to even more pain, as I surely would have eventually left and didn't want him to get even more invested in a future together.
