I haven’t slept all night. I just feel so guilty, but after nearly a year of being with someone wonderful, I had to end it. She wasn’t able to reach my on my phone while I was at the gym, and called 7 times to no response. Her reaction was a familiar “I hate you,” “I’m breaking up with your lame ass,” “packing my things right now,” etc. I’ve been browsing the sub for the last couple hours and I’m definitely this persons “fp.” I feel like her mood and self worth is based on the smallest actions by me and the pressure and responsibility has been getting to me the past month, making me think I can’t keep this up. I was always a very independent person before this, and I feel like for the past year, half of my energy has gone towards making sure she’s always ok. I want to be there for her no matter what, but I just feel it’s necessary to put a halt on the romantic aspect of the relationship, and no longer live with each other (She moved in with me after I made it clear before that I need to live alone and space is important to me, but I just accepted it, because I wanted to support her through a tough time). I just feel so bad but truly think this is the best for both of our growth. We’re both in our early 20s, and she’s openly envisioned a life together, but I have my own priorities and ambitions that have gone to the wayside with our relationship. I also feel that she hasn’t been proactive enough in treating her mental health, by not taking her medicine or skipping therapy sessions.

I’m very inspired by everyone here’s stories, and maybe I just need to vent. Any advice on how I can let her know I’m always here for her no matter what, without getting back into a romantic relationship would be much appreciated too. She has not taken it well since I expressed myself, and I’m worried for her wellbeing. Thanks guys :(
