Was my reaction during the breakup wrong?
Post Body

Basically to keep this sweet and simple I was with my boyfriend for about two months and things were going pretty well. Iā€™d spent the whole weekend with him and the night before he was even making plans with me ahead of time or when we were watching a show he pointed at a cute couple during the scene and said ā€œthatā€™s usā€ then the very next morning out of nowhere he broke up with me. Said he wasnā€™t feeling it anymore. While his feelings are valid, it completely ripped the floor from right underneath of me. To say I was blindsided was an understatement. My immediate reaction was to keep asking why over and over again and then at one point I asked how long heā€™d been feeling this way and he said a week even though I thought we were doing so well so Iā€™m confused how feelings can change so drastically so quickly. Regardless, my main issue is that outside of asking him why I was crying really hard. He then rolled out of bed and started to get dressed so I said ā€œI guess Iā€™ll just goā€ while still crying and my hands over my face I was shoving my clothes in my bag and he gestured to something Iā€™d gotten for him and asked me if I wanted to take it in which I replied ā€œno I donā€™t want anythingā€ (in reference to all things weā€™ve gotten together) and I just hurried out of his room and out the front door and got in my car and left. We havenā€™t spoken since. Iā€™m deeply hurt and confused. But I also know his feelings are valid even if I donā€™t understand them. I just feel like I fucked up by my reaction I wish I wouldā€™ve been more composed and gotten a better and proper goodbye. But as Iā€™ve said, it blindsided me and I never saw it coming. I havenā€™t spoken to him since and I donā€™t plan to. He wants to leave so Iā€™m going to let him. But Iā€™ll admit Iā€™ve been fighting reaching out just to say that I wish it didnā€™t end that way and that I was able to have better communication. I just was in complete shock I couldnā€™t think straight. The other half is telling me to let bygones be bygones and just move on considering he couldā€™ve also made more of an effort to reach out or give a better goodbye. I guess what Iā€™m trying to figure out is, am I a bad person for how I reacted? I wish I wouldā€™ve let him talk and told him I didnā€™t understand but I respect his wishes. Iā€™m embarrassed but also really hurt. Is it worth breaking no contact? Or should I just move on? I can say itā€™s a learned mistake but tbh I couldnā€™t even think straight at the time because of how abrupt and out of no where it was I wish I wouldā€™ve reacted better. Sorry this is so long.
