Should I feel bad for breaking up with him because I couldn't handle his outbursts?

I was talking to this guy for a few months, and he is a heavy smoker, both with weed and cigarettes. He mentioned that because he is trying to quit smoking, he gets angry and agitated quickly. Unfortunately, his outbursts became verbally abusive, which overwhelmed and frustrated me. I communicated my concerns to him, but his response was, "I have told you how to be with me." His behavior significantly worsened my depression, and I found it increasingly difficult to cope with his anger.

He's obviously got some things he needs to work on before he gets into a relationship. It is undoubtedly best for you and it's probably best for him if he can work on those outside the framework of a relationship too so he can fully devote more time and energy to the things he needs to work on.

Nope, only feel bad that you ever gave him a chance.

His addictions are his problem not yours.. No you were not wrong, although if you liked him enough you probably could have overlooked the fact he is suffering from substance withdrawal.

You did everything right. Such guys are losers who have no future. You deserve better.

You should not feel bad. Dont sacrifice your mental health for a man.

I hope you dropped him. And don’t feel bad at all!

[n1n1999]

I did break up with him. I just feel a bit shaken up about the entire relationship

Sounds like a very solid move on your part!

Not at all. You did what was best for you.
