i was dumped by my girlfriend of nearly 5 years and not sure what my next move should be. ill give some background first. im currently 25 yrs of age and my ex was 24. i moved to las vegas and met her within 2 months of moving here. we were 20 and 19. we started as friends first but i had had other intentions in mind and won her over. we moved in together about 2 yrs ago after 2.5 yrs of dating and been living with each other since. she ended our relationship about a month ago. we had our ups and downs and even took a 2 month break with communication about 8 months ago. she ended the relationship saying she felt neglected as our sex life fizzled a little. also she said that by now she figured we would be engaged and that i never showed her enough affection. she knew i was not the affectionate type but i told her i would never stop trying. she said that she could not see herself with me for the rest of her life if i made her feel this bad. keep in mind this break up happened as i was currently saving for a ring which made me feel even worse. we ended on bad terms as she moved out and we have not talked since. she was my first true love and im pretty devastated by this but know that we will never be together. we come from different backgrounds and had lots of differences but i always loved her for her uniqueness. ive decided to move back home to florida to be closer to my family as i feel this is a good time to reconnect with them and they are very supportive. plus since ive been with her the entire time ive lived in this city, everywhere i go im reminded of her. i know i will never get over her if i stay here. my dilemma lays with my guilt of how things ended plus whether or not i should tell her im moving outta the city. i kinda feel like a dick if i just leave and say nothing. not sure if i should talk to her in person or send an email. ive been trying hard to not communicate with as i feel cold turkey would be best for me but still feel so guilty. i really wanna let her know that i did not intend for it to end this way and i feel our relationship was not a failure because it ended. what should i do?
