I think if you love her, you should work it not break it. Given her problems professional guidance can be a necessity. Consider getting back together on the condition she sees a therapist and perhaps you both get relationship counseling.

That's what I thought at first, but firstly she is genuinely obsessed with me. I'm not saying this to be a cocky douche, I am saying this because I am like her second supply of oxygen. I felt like for her health I needed to separate so she could improve and be healthy to the capacity she needs to be independently.

think that's kind of fucked up, think it has the potential to make things worse instead of better

Thank you so much guys, it just feels comforting to know I'm not alone on thinking this is the hard but right choice

What the fuck were you thinking posting this on /r9k/ first? If that is any indication of how clueless you are in general, the breakup is definitely a bad idea. Hope you can manage the guilt of pushing her over the edge.

I think it does too, which is why I'm worried. However I had a mutual friend call her and calm her down and helped her to understand. This has also take a ginormous toll on me, and it makes me so exhausted, I felt as if it was best for both of us, that she learns how to be her own person and that I also focus on myself too. But I am having second thoughts, which is why I posted

I used to be depressed and went there all the time, and I didn't know where to go, so I went to my first thought

I assume you felt that you had already tried everything in your power to help her through these troubles while you were together.

If so, then removing yourself from the picture and forcing her to reassess her situation and the people in her support ring has the potential to cause lots of disruption. However, if you'd stayed together this would happen over time anyway.

Maybe consider that while you may not be together, being apart will force you both to think about whether you want to be together and if you do then you'll both make the changes to make that happen.

So just keep yourself open to the possibility of reuniting when you've both changed enough so that can be a positive relationship and a step forward rather than having the same difficult relationship.

You are the most important person in your life at the end of the day.
Even if she wrecks herself over the breakup, was the the right thing to do if you were close to your limit. No idea in ruining two lives instead of one.
