[Update] Still can't figure out if this is the best or worst decision of my life. Most pain I've ever experienced that wasn't the death of a family member. Please help.

You did the right thing. You are a human being and I think you have the right to be with someone you can have loving sex with, that is good for you both. It's a wonderful, beautiful thing.

You will experience it one day, and experience what it feels like to love and be loved by a woman :)

You should believe in yourself.

You're saving your future self a huge amount of heartache and pain by going through what you're going through. Not to mention your ex and maybe even children at that point.

You will have a lot more time to devote to yourself after being with a partner, I'm sure.

I would say, settle down somewhere inspiring, get yourself stable. Find fun things to do that interest and entertain you. Learn about gay stuff. Do hobbies, or talk to people here.

Mope as little as about what was going to end anyway. It's a really shit thing you're going through, but you will come out the other end of it.

This is a new freedom to get in touch with your more honest self, discover yourself, and enjoy the loving touch of other women.

And get to touch lovingly back :)

Once you have that, you will know all the pain was worth it.

I have been through a lot of shit myself, and I thought I'd die a miserable lonely virgin. Then I found my girlfriend. It was all worth it. My life is so much better now.

Have confidence in yourself, you are young. Go on dating sites or something. Read about gay stuff. Talk to people here on AL.

Or just go to a gay bar and look terrified and alone and hopefully someone will be like awwww and take you home.

To end: you did the right thing. Okay? It was going to end anyway, it was a dysfunctional relationship, and it was nobody's "fault". Look ahead, not back.

You are a free person now, and if you pursue women, I think you will eventually catch one!
