    Depression Relationships
    I had a relationship with a guy for 1 year approx...it was almost long distance relationship, we hardly met. We always used to have fight over the messages. We were good friends for 1 year before the relationship though we never met. He was my school mate. But now the situation is I have realised that we don't have any future and he is not at all serious about his studies so I decided to leave him and move on but I am unable to do so. I feel like I am betraying him I am having a guilt within me. Though he loved me a lot but the care, concern, passion and love which a girl needs I think is missing in him. I don't have feelings for him any more but I am not able to let him go.

    It sounds like you are really beating yourself up for acting on your own behalf, and perhaps experiencing a clash of values within yourself - the value of being true to yourself vesus the value of caring for others. Not an easy dilemma! Counselling may be a space where you can work this through and find a resolution, so you can move forward in a way that honours both sets of values, so you can be at peace with your decision, and therefore in a better place for new relationships in future.
