Break up guilt: how do i get over it? Broke up with my boyfriend

You dumped him right before the holidays? That's brutal

ugh

well this is life either sacrifice yourself for some guy you don't really life or dump him and find somebody better

most likely he will recover & find somebody else

you could wait a few MONTHS (not days not weeks) try to contact him & apoligize for something or other but this may make thiings worse

just try to accept this and move on

i guess

We're not really christmasy people. He's also in a tropical country with his family for 3 weeks so I legit felt the timing was good because he'd get a nice get away from everything in this cold snowy shithole. I do understand that it kind of sucks, but i really did not want to hold my feelings back any longer.

I know he'll recover, he's a strong amazing guy and I know he'll find someone he deserves to be with more common interests.
I just hate making people sad.

Just distract yourself with one or more of your recent crushes and you'll easily forget about him.

Ugh.
One of the reasons i broke up with him is because I need to be alone for a while and re figure myself out. I'm going to be starting a career which is gonna force me to fly around the world and stay away from family/friends for extended periods of time, and I don't want to be constantly missing someone back home.

Best you can do is stay away and do not contact him. If he contacts you ignore him unless you want to get back together with him. Every time an ex has tried to be "nice" after a break up it's made me feel more like shit.

This. All it does is send mixed messages. Do you really thinks he wants to be further emasculated by your pity after you broke up with him?

I haven't talked to him.
