I just broke up with my gf of 1.5 years. I broke up with her after about a year because I didn't want to do long distance anymore... I tried to give it a second shot, but I can't do the long distance anymore.

We started the relationship when we lived near each other, but I had to move away for work. Because of where we are in life (me, military; her: student) moving together is not viable. I ended it this morning and I just got a response back from her.

She said "I can't believe you. You've broken my heart for the second time. This is the most mean and hurtful thing anyone has ever done to me." Those words hurt me, but I can't imagine what she's going through.

Should I make this a clean break and just not respond? I don't want to get in to a fight with her (something that never happened in our relationship, other than LDR... it was the perfect relationship.) There was no way to end this on good terms as she was very much in love with me and wouldn't respond well to even bringing up the possibility of a break, or anything like that.

I hate to be an asshole and not respond to her. She was my best friend, but I just can't do long distance anymore.
