This caller not only left her boyfriend, she also left her job and the town she lived in. Now she doesn’t know if she’s done the right thing. She’s questioning whether or not she left too soon and she wonders if she could have made it all work if she’d stayed. The only problem was – she just wasn’t happy!
She feels so guilty about leaving her boyfriend because he’s one of the good guys and she doesn’t feel she had any real valid reason to do so except for the fact that she didn’t feel she belonged there.
When we know it’s the right thing to do, why do we feel guilty about moving on? Can breaking up with someone, or leaving a job (or whatever) be the right thing for all parties?
This call is for you if you want to move on from something but feel guilty doing it or you’ve already left and the guilt is eating away at you.
