Broke up with my now ex after 3 years of consistent dating and 1.5 yrs of living together. I am 25. He is 26.

 

I did it due to his anger issues and temper.

 

Anyways...I've had enough and broke it off. I still have to move out my things, which is a pain.

 

He is broken. He is so sad, sorry and all that sob sorry stuff. He calls me and texts me.

 

It is also hard on me. I have so many feelings randomly coming out. One minute I feel relieved and the next I feel sad. Then I feel mad. The worst is when I feel sad which is constant.

 

I respond to his texts basically holding my ground but not being cruel.

I feel bad abandoning him and ignoring him when he is hurting.

 

How do I cope? How do I hold my own during this hard time? I am going with my gut this time instead of my heart. I am being pulled in two different directions, but I know what I have to do and be strong. :( It is so hard and heartbreaking.

 

I need to focus on school as finals and things are coming up. This is the worst time for this to happen. :(

You did the right thing. You teach other people how to treat you, and you're teaching him that you won't put up with abusive behavior. Trust me, I SO KNOW where you are coming from. I recently ended it with my ex for similar reasons, and it's hard sometimes not to feel bad, but then he ends up being a prick again, and I remember why I broke things off.

 

Nothing wrong with only wanting what's good for you.

 

Try to find honest pleasure in your studies if you can. That will help you focus on them.
