    I also still feel very bad about hurting him, I think that bothers me even more than the actual break-up..

    Hi OP, I just wanted to reply as I would be like you and feel very bad about hurting someone else (despite it being the right thing to do). In fact the first guy I broke up with, I felt so bad and so upset, I ended up going back to his house (after breaking up with him) and getting back together with him! I just wanted to end ‘his suffering’ not because I suddenly loved him.

    What followed was a relationship where I wasn’t really that bothered about him and that was very unfair on him. Nobody deserves that. So please stick to your guns and believe that you’ve done the right thing. He will be hurt now but will get over it.

    Regarding your lack of social life - when restrictions end, have you thought about maybe joining clubs/meet-ups to meet people to socialise with? Actually I’ve noticed on Meetup, there’s a few virtual meet-ups at the moment. Also there is still volunteering going on - even if you don’t meet ‘friends’ there, it’s a good way to get out there and ‘socialise’ with others.

    Best of luck OP.
