Me and my girlfriend had been going out for 9 months. We met on Facebook and have continued a long distance relationship for the past 9 months until today.

She was the most lovable girlfriend I had ever had. She was beautiful, smart, caring, and she was sweet, and loved me like I was her world. We lost our virginities together and had spent over two consecutive weeks within arms reach of each other.

I would frequently argue with her resulting in her threatening to end "us" and I'd usually be the one to mend us together. But all in all it was a really good relationship. She was a little... Edgy, but we made it work just fine.

I then randomly bumped into a girl I knew, but didn't really talk to. We got to talking and she turned out to be the coolest girl ever. I've always thought she was cute, but I thought she was just another pretty face. But I was wrong. I have never been so intrigued by a women in my life. I spent some time with her and found out she was even more awesome, and I ended up cheating on my girlfriend.

So I talked to my girlfriend about it and I broke up with her. She was devastated and I told her everything about it except the cheating part.

The guilt got to me and I also like the new girl more. Do you think my decision to break off the relationship was logical?

    You aren't an ass for falling in love with someone else. That happens sometimes.

    You are an ass for cheating instead of breaking it off with your first girlfriend before starting another relationship and for pulling passive-aggressive "I will end this relationship" nonsense with your first girlfriend. You were right to end things with your girlfriend and free her to find someone who isn't emotionally manipulative and fickle.

    You aren't abnormal, but you are kind of awful.

    I'm not going to comment of the cheating part because I think that was your decision and it's not my place to judge. What I can say is that there's nothing wrong with falling in love with someone else, you may have found you liked you girlfriend but in fact didn't love her that much, possibly because of the nature of your relationship or some details of her personality. The other girl captivated you more, and you found you liked her more. There's nothing wrong with that.
    I think you did the right thing by breaking up with your girlfriend. If you felt something for someone else, the right thing was to set her (and yourself) free, otherwise you'd be stuck in a relationship where you'd know you didn't love her that much after all and you would both have been miserable.

    BTW, that was more that enough reason to end the relationship. It was the most logical thing to do.

    You sound like a pussy which is surprising seen as you had the balls to shag another girl. Dude there is no right or wrong, you should of just continued seeing both of them behind each others backs.
