Meeting someone special

I'm at a point today which hopefully other people are at, i will keep it simple. I have been with my gf for 5 1/2 years but we are at the point where we have gone seperate ways. i have gone to uni and she is off travelling. Today i made the tough decision to end it as i had met someone who i would consider cheating on her with and felt it best to tell her, did i do the right thing as its eating me up inside?

I think you have been way too hasty. Just because it would have to be a long distance relationship, it doesn't mean that you have to break up about it! Loads of people have them (including me) and they work out fine! Surely if you've been going out for five and a half years, your relationship is strong enough to stand the distance apart!

sounds like its fair enough, if you'd stayed together it would be for the wrong reasons

people have to accept that within a relationship either of the parties feelings can change and move on, it happens, the best way to deal with it is with honesty and integrity

Lets not get carried away, put the handbags down people! And yeah, theres no point being in a relationship that you don't want to be in.

Well, I think it sounds a case of your relationship maybe needed reviving? You wern't fully sure if you wanted it to end so had doubts - relationships can survive distance if you make the effort. I find that unfair you were willing to cheat but am glad you had the decency to not hurt her. Sometimes though the other person who you take a shine to may not be what you thought so I hope you haven't risked a lot.
