Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : Last night I broke it off with my girlfriend of two years. 

Last week, she told me that she wanted us to “chill out” because she needed her independence and needed to work on her anxiety. I interpreted this as her suggesting we break up, which she didn’t deny - she simply said she was uncertain. 

My girlfriend and I put 100% into this relationship. We had good chemistry, we were making progress, and we had really high highs. 

With those high-highs came really low points. Her uncertainty is a regular thing, coming around any time she is anxious or insecure. She talks to me about it everytime, and I try to see past it, but I have become increasingly conscious of what I do and what I say, so I don’t cause another one of those situations.

That has worn me out over the past two years. I had told her about this months ago, and everytime she tells me she’s uncertain, I tell her that it may be best if we do take some time apart. I haven’t actively talked about my feelings the last few months, in fear of sending her off into a tailspin.

Last night, after thinking about it for a few days, I sat her down and told her that I honestly thought it would be a good idea for us to break up. She was shocked, said it came out of nowhere. 

The issue here is that she’s staying at my house for two weeks while she does placement for her course. It had been organised for a month. She otherwise lives an hour and a half away, making it difficult for her to get to placement from her own house. 

Breaking it off last night meant that she has nowhere to stay. I offered for her to stay until placement is done, but she understandably said she would be better off at home. 

What this means for her course in general, I don’t know. I feel guilty about it, as she may have to cancel her placement and try to do it somewhere else. 

In addition, a lot of people will say that you don’t need any specific reason to break up, but I have two questions anyway: 

AITA for breaking it off without giving it one more shot and telling her that I was feeling that way? 

AITA for breaking it off in the middle of her placement?
