I'm not selfish am I? - January 19th 2012, 09:44 PM

Hi everyone.

I just broke up with my boyfriend of 1 year. I love him with all my heart but we argue a lot, and I hit him [in my other thread] and I am sick of being like this. So I told him we should just leave it while I clear my head, sort myself out mentally and stuff. - I've had a tough past and it's catching up with me.

Am I selfish? I know I've hurt him by doing this.. but i've only got his best interest at heart, right? :/

I've had a bad past with boys/men and I can't deal with all the stress of my past and maintaining this relationship. But am I being selfish by breaking up with him.. it's not HIS fault. He said he understands but I don't know.. I am so hard on myself. I just wanna cry right now but it won't get me anywhere.

Please tell me I am doing the right thing..

Don't be hard on yourself, and no, you're not selfish. You did the right thing for you, and this doesn't mean it's permanent. You just need to figure yourself out, and having someone around while you try to do this could be very distracting. You did what is best for you right now, and while you always want to consider everyone else's feelings, you need to think about yourself for once.

You definitely aren't selfish. If taking some time to help yourself is necessary, then by all means do it. Its important that you focus on yourself and take care of your own needs, otherwise things with your boyfriend could have gotten worse.

If you feel that this is right for you then it's not selfish at all.
I have been it that place where i was with someone but my head was all over the place. Once I sorted myself on I felt so much better and was able to give the relationship another go.
Hope you work things out.
All the best
