Okay thanks. Well I took your advice and left her. It just felt wrong, like I was maybe making a mistake and giving up on the love of my life perhaps. I hope I did the best thing.
It's going to feel wrong. It's hard enough just getting a SO in the first place. Take two weeks off from any kind of dating or socializing, then get back into meeting people again. This season of your life will suck. When you look back 4-6 weeks from now, you'll start to realize you're much happier than you would be had you stayed the course.
Nobody likes to think of themselves as giving up or quitting, especially when you put so much faith in another person. I'd dated a girl since, like, jr. high, gave her a promise ring before going to college, and was within weeks of getting married. I kept thinking of all we'd been through together, all the promises that had been made, how I didn't think I'd ever find someone, how much it would hurt HER... And then I started to see that as miserable as she'd always been, she'd HAVE to be happier once I left her. You're doing you BOTH a favor here.
Take some time, TRY not to think about it for a while, and get back in the game. And PLEASE post updates and let us know how you're doing!
