We, as humans, all have different needs and wants. You made a decision based off of previous actions. You made it, and now it's done. Wether he was the right guy or not wasn't obvious to you so you decided to leave. Maybe he was. Maybe he wasn't.

Point is, it's done, and now that it's done you can work with your new future and upcoming decisions. Don't hesitate or feel bad just because of a previous one. You felt it was the thing to do and so you did it. If that's the case, there is no right and wrong.

Did you tell him how felt and what you needed? Perhaps he will also feel very bad and ask you what went wrong. If not, you def made the right decision.

dear that's not a problem. Girl's are more possessive and get serious after the relationship begins and normally guys are not that good enough in showing their love and affection. Girls are more practical in that case. After all, we are humans and all won't be all the same.

Well if he was treating you like that then you made the right decision. Time to move on. You will find someone else that will really love you and appreciate you.

He may have been new to dating and didn't know how to give you what you needed.

Well from what you say, you are always going to be the problem in relationships. Especially because you've adopted your insecurity as a defining characteristic, a defecto trait that is unchangably who you are.

It is unfair to push your own self-esteem issues on to anyone else, or to demand excessive attention. You need to stop saying 'this is just who I am' and change it to, 'this is how I behave, but this is how I will change that behaviour for myself'.

This will give you a solid foundation for any future relationships, be they with him or someone else.

Good Luck,

You just have to trust your instincts. You probably made the right move.

Sounds like he was not into you the same as you were into him. Time to move on. Boyfriends should share the same friends. Not his friends, my friends, but our friends.

[Abhorrence]

Ah trust me dude, I did the exact same thing some months ago. I broke up with my boyfriend because he simply didn't provide me with what I wanted. If there's flaws in the relationship that are noticeable in the early stages then I usually just say fuck it and end it. I don't know how long your relationship lasted but I know it sucks breaking up with someone - no matter who decided to end things.
Just keep your head up high and see what the future brings.

I agree with a lot of the posters here. What I'll add is something about communication. In a relationship that's a must. So try talking to him about stuff, keep the lines open.
Also some guys need some personal space. You said you need lota of attention. Could be the way you perceive it. Maybe your smothering him.

Did you try talking before you just cut it off?

[ashdyn]

Totally agree with everyone on developing good communication skills. It's really part of the main framework of all successful relationships.

If he wasn't giving you the attention you needed, did you let him know? I mean you said you're pretty high maintenance but maybe he didn't know that.

As far as if it was the right call or not...it probably was but it's too late to go back anyway. And it doesn't sound like he was too devastated or anything so it probably would have happened sooner or later. Who knows though, may one one day sometime down the line you'll cross paths again and the timing will be right. Until then, enjoy the freedom and use it as a time to figure out why you feel you need another person's affection to feel validated. You have to know how to love yourself before you can expect anyone else to know how.
