So, we went out last night, had the dreaded discussion. Told him it wasnt working, and he went silent, then i tried explaining why it wasnt working and he started crying. I tried consoling him, but then i felt he just werent handling it very well, and i felt myself questioning my judgement and whether i made the right decision. I knew that if i stayed there any longer, i would feel guilty and get drawn in again so i excused myself, said he needed to be alone and that i would explain it to him over the phone when he was up for it. I know i didnt handle this well, but i didnt know what else to do, having found myself in that situation.
I tried phoning him again to see if he was ok, and he answered, said hello and went silent again. He texted me later asking if i had met someone else who i liked and whether that was the reason. I feel like a ***** for doing this, but he needed to know why it werent working out, cause i dont want him to make the same mistake with the next person. I feel liberated, having not heard from him since then.
