We both were very much in love and he would die to be with me. He was a little bit attracted to me but not very much. He never meant to be hurtful or derisive but I am not his "type" at all. When I asked him to be clearer (and he was very uncomfortable to be put on the spot), he said I was "attractive" enough but he loved me for my personality and looks weren't important to him. I was so upset. After being cheated on before and rejected by guys, I was sad the one person I loved wasn't even physically that attracted. We made out and stuff but it ate at the back of my mind until I realized I began to resent him for not being able to ravage me with passion and attraction to me. It ended. But he was otherwise perfect for me and I almost regret it all.

Should I have tried harder to stay? Is it worth it to compromise the wild attraction I desire for a long-term stable love that he offered? I'm with a new guy but this is gnawing at me. I want to get on with life but really loved my ex.
