Help?

So, I broke up with him even though I loved him deeply. I had my reasons to break up.

I explained the situation to him, but he didn’t let go for a month. He finally decided to let me go but I saw another part of him. He was really manipulative and he kept constantly trying to isolate me from everyone I know.

I thought about his actions and I see a different view now.

But I still feel bad and hurt. I keep thinking that I let him down, but I don’t want to turn back to him. I respect him and he’s really worthy still.

How can I feel better about the situation?

Am I exaggerating?
