What if I'm wrong?
Relationship Stress / by sunsetsandoceans123

...See more Hi everyone, hope you're doing well :) So my ex girlfriend and I broke up a couple months ago, I'm the one who initiated it. My reason was mainly because she has 3 kids. I got along with them fine, but before this, I had very little experience with children. When we started dating, I didn't give it much thought because I knew I was interested in her. But as time went on, and the more time I spent around them, the more I didn't think that situation was right for me. It got to a point where I didn't really want to spend time with her kids, selfish as that may be. Going from being single most of my life to dating someone with 3 kids was absolutely terrifying and I didn't know what else to do. I know I hurt her badly. I've felt awful ever since, miss her terribly and think about her almost constantly. We got along so well, and I loved spending time with her and do care about her deeply. I've never had such a good relationship with a woman before. Recently I've been wondering if I should've tried to stick it out. Part of me thinks maybe I would've gotten used to her kids and part of me isn't so sure. I haven’t talked to her since the breakup and wouldn't try unless I was sure about being with her and accepting her family. But I don't know what to do. Maybe it was for the best. Maybe I should've stuck with it. Has anyone ever experienced a similar situation?
