To preface, this is something I've been wanting to get off my chest for a while. I carry no emotional attachment whatsoever to my ex, I just simply feel bad.

A little bit of context: I met my ex in college about 3 years ago. We dated for just less than a year. We had a few fights, but for the most part it was fine. I felt myself falling out of love with her for a while. During the summer, she went back home after the semester.  I got a job and met this other girl, who I just considered a work friend. A couple of months pass, I can tell I'm not being fair to my ex and I'm seeming distant, and she can tell too. This girl at work had been showing signs she was in to me, and aside from hanging out once I didn't act on them. But I couldn't change how I was feeling, and I didn't think it was fair to my ex to fake it for a couple of more months, so I called her and broke it off. It was really rough, for her at least. I feel really bad about it, but I was fine. I felt like I had already moved on emotionally. It was also her brother's birthday, which made things worse for her and her family I'm sure, but I just feel like I couldn't lie anymore. I didn't want to wait.

I ended up going out with the girl I met at work not long after, and we're very in love. We have been dating since. I did move very fast after. Sometimes I think about how I ended it with my ex though, and feel bad. I'm sure she has since moved on, as have I. Maybe it's just selfish of me to think about it and maybe I'm bothered with the image of myself being an asshole, rather than the actual thing I did... I'm not very sure. All I know is I feel bad about how I did it, but not sure what else I could have done. Maybe waited a day? Probably. But it's in the past now.

Anyways, thanks for listening to my rant. AITA?
