    Im going to make this as quick as possible since I'm at work. A couple days ago I broke up with gf because we haven't been as close for a long time and I couldn't take it anymore. This was going on for almost a year where we wouldn't see each other for a whole 2 weeks and talk to each other every once and while. We both made little excuses not to see each other but as far as I know she was still happy. We talked about the problem a couple times before but it never got resolved. The last time and what made me break it off was that i was only seeing her once a month, I feel so bad but I felt as if it was something I needed to do. Fast forward to now and I can't believe I'm actually thinking I made the wrong choice... My family and friends say she only really wanted me just for the companionship and that she wasn't really happy but there's something telling me I'm in the wrong here.. All I want to know if any of you went through a similar time and if you have any advice..

    A girl will always make time and put in the effort to see/hang out with you unless you did something to her or she's not emotionally invested in the relationship. You guys hung out once in a month or 2 weeks? I give you props for actually being able to end it. On to the next bro.

    I mean if you already started feeling like that, I wouldn't call it a bad choice. Sometimes people fall out of love and there's nothing wrong with that. You might be questining yourself because you're missing the familiarity. If she's not that person that you're always happy to see, it was the right call imo.

    It may feel like you made a mistake but the right thing to do was to break up. Her not making efforts to spend time with you tells me that she was either not invested into the relationship anymore or more invested into someone else. You made the right call bud now you just have to move on

    You're always gonna get a bit of cold feet from a breakup no matter how it ended. It's normal to think you made the wrong choice and just shows that you're human. You spent four years of your life with this person so it's hard to imagine your life without them even if you didn't see each other a lot in the end. It sounds like neither of you were truly invested in each other even if you still care about each other. You can care about someone without dating them, but to date someone this long term there needs to be investment.

    It sounds like you made the right decision. Just keep yourself busy in the meantime and put yourself out there and meet new people when you're ready.

    You left the one you were looking to find. This is what happens when people break up on a whim out of boredom

    It was right choice man. Absolutely. You don't have to feel like you made mistake. I feel like she was nothing into you and i'd break up with her too. Cause if she didn't care that you see each other once a month (after 4 years lol) then she wasn't really into you and she was probably into someone else or was thinking about breaking up too. So you probably just saved both of you.

    OT: You f----- others girls while being in relationship with this girl or you really had sex once a month?
