I appreciate that you are an honest person, who recognize her own shortcomings and very much concerned about it. Human relationships doesn't end with breakup, but it is just the nature of relationship and that's what you are going through. If one finds that she is responsible for end of such relationships than it is difficult to bear the pain in a true relationship. The question comes what can be done practically. Feeling sorry and expressing sorry for the reason remains the only options. I think you should express your sorry to him, and accept your shortcomings or mistake that leads to such outcome. There should be a clear explanation from your side as to why you could not saved the relationship and it is his moral right to know why it happened. You should be clear that there is nothing like fullstop in a relationships. If you are OK with breakup, just wait and watch, time will heal without doing much. Make a daily routine stick to it, be busy, give adequate time for personal care. Social connection helps a lot. Spend time with your near and dear in social media or in real world. Engage in your hobbies or develop a new hobby which you may enjoy. Sleep and healthy food are very important in recovery.

Hi, Need to discover, why you are feeling guilty. There are different reasons one might feel guilty after break-up Feel bad about ending things because the the other did not want to break up. Maybe you are regretting your decision to leave and thinking about how you didn't try hard enough to make things work.

Remind yourself of the reasons you broke up with him. Think about your ex's limitations and bad habits. Think of the breakup as a favor to your ex.
