I was with my ex girlfriend for two years and from our circle of friends, I met my current girlfriend. I did not physically cheat on my girlfriend but I emotionally cheated because I fell in love with my current girlfriend while with my ex girlfriend.
Eventually, my feelings for my ex girlfriend faded entirely because my new girlfriend was very compatible with me. We laugh, play and feel really comfortable with each other. I love my new girlfriend and I don’t regret my decision but I do still feel bad. My ex girlfriend didn’t deserve to be left the way I left because she was actually a great girlfriend and did everything right.

She told me “I did everything right and you still left me.” Her family has contacted me saying she has been in a state of depression for the past couple of months. I feel responsible.

Girl I was seeing (we're both 25) for about six weeks broke things with me, earlier this week. She had gone from saying this just days before that she liked me a lot and that I made her feel really comfortable, and that she could say things to me she couldn't to others, to saying that she didn't think we were compatible and basically that she thought we were in different places in terms of our feelings for each other. Before that night, I didn't think I had ever found someone so compatible to me.

I told her that night I that I thought I might be falling in love with her. She told me Tuesday that was kicked off the thinking that led to her ending it. She also met some of my friends that weekend, for the first time. Even still, she told me afterwards that she likes me a lot, it just takes time to for her to get there. And when she went home the next night, she told me that I make her really comfortable with how I handle things in bed (she's completely inexperienced).

She's never been on more than two dates with someone, or made out or anything, and my therapist and others think she likely panicked. I reached out to her yesterday and we texted back and forth a little, agreed to be friendly going forward (we're on the board of a very active social/networking organization with lots of mutual friends) and continue our working relationship. I also told her she was pretty brave with how she ended things and that my first time breaking things off with someone was hard for me. Does anyone think she could change her mind?

"I remain committed to the faith of my teenage years: to authentic human freedom as a precondition for the highest good. I stand against confiscatory taxes, totalitarian collectives, and the ideology of the inevitability of the death of every individual. For all these reasons, I still call myself “libertarian.”

But I must confess that over the last two decades, I have changed radically on the question of how to achieve these goals. Most importantly, I no longer believe that freedom and democracy are compatible. By tracing out the development of my thinking, I hope to frame some of the challenges faced by all classical liberals today."

Me? I think democracy is the only way to protect freedom.
