I gave up my first lover, I don't want to continue to drag on

I am sorry to hear about your first love. I am sorry that it is finally over. Have you been long in your relationship with him? If it is more than 5 years, I understand how it would feel for you. You will certainly feel it is very difficult to break it because you are so used to it. However I feel this is the best solution you should have made from the start. I understand you have not considered on a breakup because you loved him very much and you are hoping that he would give you his love towards you. But after some time you find him still not giving you anything in return. Instead you keep hurting your parents because you had to stand for your lover. Now you have made this decision, never turn back because he is just giving you trouble. You deserve a better person and he should not make you feel worthless. You are very valuable in the eyes of your parents and you should enjoy life and love like what your parents want you to have. It is better that you separate with him. I am sure after this you will feel relieved, very very much relieved! And you will find happiness again, being around your family members and friends who love you very much, and care for you. Not like your lover who doesn't even care for you at all. You lose nothing when you leave him. Trust me, he is worthless! Way to go, girl!

Sometimes we all come to a point in our lives where we think things have to change, for the better of our lives, and sometimes it is good to do this a new direction but don't be too sad be happy that it happened at all as this is part of your life and footprint on this earth..take the lessons you learnt, be happy you loved but now go on start afresh and open yourself to love again and you will look back and say i am glad I never continued with that...believe me...you will love again...good luck to you.

You cannot say that you gave up. You atleast realised which is the most important thing. Now when you know whats wrong, then just move on for your betterment. You'll certainly catch on with life in just a matter of time. And its worth giving time, cos afterall its your life. Give some time to yourself, it will help you in analyzing the rite way out.
