Its hard. He was so, so sure that I was THE one. The one he could see being married to, the one he could see spending his life with. I, on the other hand, was never sure. He's a great guy, an amazing boyfriend, and an amazing best friend, but I couldn't tell him for 100% that I wanted to marry him. I asked for a break, I couldn't handle the fact that if we didn't  break up in the next 3-5 years, we could be married. Especially with college coming up, I thought it'd be the perfect chance to get some life experiences and meet new people. I thought he'd agree. He didn't. He said its either we break up or nothing. We went on like that for a month or two and he came upto me today to tell me that he couldn't handle it anymore and that he was done. I was upset, I still am, but not at him. A part of me regrets bringing up the idea of taking a break in the first place. A part of me hates me for making him doubt what we had. But as all of my friends have said,  maybe its for the better. I really hope so.
