Question for men

When you're in a relationship but you don't love your gf anymore, like You've lost your feeling for her, and you're still looking for the right time to break up but suddenly something happened and the words just came out from your mouth. So you end it in a bad way. Would you feel bad for her? Like you wish you could've end it in a better way?
I'm not a guy... but I didn't stop loving him - I just reached the point where every argument included the words "Grow up".

It didn't help that he was physically and financially abusive, either.

Anyway, we're on the bus one night. We're having a disagreement (wouldn't even call it an argument). I was told to "Grow up" once again, so I immediately blurted out that it's over.

Initially, I felt guilty, but I didn't stay that way for long when he started talking me down for dumping him two weeks after a holiday that my mother paid for most of.

Don't get into a relationship with someone younger than yourself if you can't handle her being 9 years younger than you.

I prefer younger women 😋
Glad you got out of s bad relationship... i figure it's HIS loss...
I think about things very differently than a lot of women because I'm less conflict avoidant, value harmony less than them and to be brutally honest have a history of pulling stunts like ultimately moving on but pretending to still be in pursuit of the person I WAS interested in before I decided fuck it I like someone else more just to force the difficult conversation that she went out of her way to avoid to which it was like "just kidding, I've found someone else." once It was over.

The thing is I've been mildly irritated at that behavior for so long that just to make a point I'd do something like that.

And why? Well because I have a Growth mindset and I know well that the longer I have to Dream about the possibilities when they are denied to me the more it ultimately hurts, so I'd rather just be told STRAIGHT UP what's what. I don't think it's either meant to be or it isn't, I believe that if you work on things you can overcome difficulties with other people. I'm well aware of why women do it it's just I'm not that guy.

I'm the one who outright will talk about how after YEARS of listening to Feminist when I'm walking down the street to get Snacks I'm paying a FUCKLOAD of attention to the woman walking in front of me ane notice her looking behind her and so just choose to cross the street because She doesn't know how much poetry I have written and statements I've made in the past against rape and the culture that perpetuates us, she doesn't have any way of gauging my sincerity or ANY awareness of my feelings about the topic and it's better to just Relieve her of the discomfort than bother to have an argument.

So I mean honestly I get that some men kill women so they learned to avoid the outright rejection of us and having that convo and ghost or simply go out of thier way to say they're not interested by screening phone calls, etc. But I can handle rejection gracefully. I just wish I was treated with respect in that regard.

"When is the right time to have a convo like that?"

Pretty much as soon as you realize it.
I look back on a lot of my relationships. I think about the girls I loved, the girls I wanted to marry, and even the girls I wouldn't touch with a six foot pole again. Then I crack open a beer and forget about it.

No relationship is perfect, no breakup is perfect, but staying in a situation where your not happy is never okay. All we can do is move on.
That has never happened to me, but I assume I would feel bad for her if it were to happen.

Why wait? It seems that’s just mean spirited. Get it over with. Be honest.

if i stop loving them and i'm ready to leave, i'll just say the love went away and i think we should break up.
even when i'm angry i'm not the person to say things to hurt people so it wouldn't slip out.

if it somehow did then i'd feel bad because i'd want to split on good terms
I have always felt bad for em. it was never my intention to hurt them. but, love is like that. i have been on both sides. and it sucks on both sides of the equation.

I'd always want things to end amicably. People just fall out of love and the romance fizzles.
