You want to give up your happiness….in order to feel depressed again?! Why? Before thinking about breaking up with that person..think about what you’re gonna lose…will you miss having the love and affection this person has provided for you? I understand that you want some time to yourself..That’s totally understandable..maybe you guys just need to talk it out..face to face..get all these emotions out between the two of you.. And about your future and education…that will always be there..but will this person be? I cannot tell you whether or not you should break up with this person since it is your decision…if you still love the person though..don’t…but if you don’t..maybe it’s time to let go..you don’t want to end up hurting them by lying about your feeling!! I hope everything works out or you :) and that this helped!
