Is it normal to feel confused after breaking up?

I just broke up with my boyfriend whom I was in a relationship with for 2 years. I think I'm doing the right thing because I wasn't happy. He didn't do anything wrong, it was just me. I feel completely guilty and bad for him because now he has nothing left here and will probably have to move back to his hometown. I still love him and always will but I need to progress my life and he wasn't exactly the right person to do it with. But in saying this, I am scared to see him with somebody else. I feel selfish and confused and upset. Is it normal to feel this way after breaking up?

    Yes, especially after two years. When you lose a partner that you have had for such a time, whether through death or departure, it can be a very confusing process to regain your own identity. Don't feel bad, if you were unhappy in the relationship then you wouldn't have been doing him any favors by staying with him.

    Yes it's normal. You're just trying to figure out what's worth sacrificing right now, which will never be an easy choice. Just pay careful attention to how you feel and not what anybody else says you should do. And don't make life long decisions based on a guilty conscience. You'll be fine.

    Dont worry about it sweetheart, Mr. Right will come along eventually. And everything will be just perfect and you will have perfect little children, a perfect house, a perfect job. Everything will be perfect. He actually moved somewhere to be with you? What a schmuck.

    Perfect.
