I broke up with my boyfriend of 4 months a couple of weeks ago because I just didn't like him anymore and our personalities were different. At 4 months, I wasn't especially invested in the relationship yet and got over the relationship even before it ended, once I realised our how different we were.

However, when I broke up with him he broke down and started a long rant about how his life and friends and family were absolute shit and I that I was the best thing that happened to him. According to him I gave him self-confidence and now that we've broken up he will have to go back to hating himself. He also said that all his emotional investment has went down the drain. When I heard that a million red flags popped up in my head and I got so damn freaked out so I knew I had to get out ASAP. There is absolutely no way I want to be used to complete someone's life, what a huge burden that is. Despite this I still feel terrible for hurting him, especially after all he said about his life. Am I a horrible person for breaking up with him? I can't help but feel guilty about the entire affair. Also, I just don't understand why is he so emotionally invested in a relationship that has only been around for a few months?
