Breaking Up With A Long Distance Love

Tweet

I wanted to share this to you. This is came from a letter sender from anonymous magazine. What can you say about it? Does she did right? Here it goes... Im not really confused. I just need to know if I did the right thing or if what I decided on and have done was irretational or unfair. It's been a month since I decided to let go of my boyfriend. He didn't ask for it nor did he commit any infedelities I now of. One night, I sent him a text message saying I needed to let him go so he could freely pursue his goals without the commitment in our relationship. We have a long distance love. He's in the States working for US government. In three years, he has failed to keep his promise to come home to the Philippines three times. He planned, bought a ticket but about a week or two before coming home, something would come up. He'd call to say he couldn't come home because of work and would promise to come home next time.It turned worse when he told me he had big job offers and he was apprehensive to come in the next 12 months. This was disappointing because promises to me are like commitments that, once broken, make me lose my faith in the person. I thought about letting him go for three months before I finally told him I was letting him go for his dreams. That's the hardest thing I've ever done. I sent Him a "thank you" card for all the years of our relationship. Until now we haven't talked. I love him very much but it seems I was led to that decision because I feel I need a break from all the upsets I'm going through . I also feel I need to give him the freedom to pursue all his personal goals that he has always wanted.
