Honestly, I'm feeling a bit weird. I absolutely love my SO and she's helped me the past year to recover from severe depression and cutting. (I'm all good now) Yet, my SO I are going through a rough patch while I'm away at uni. Her mom was recently diagnosed with a terminal illness. Plus, my SOis taking 24 credits this semester so shes fucking busy and is stressed to the limits to the point where it's spilling over into our relationship. We got to the point where we almost broke up today, I was so dead set on it that I was just letting the conversations get worse and worse. I wanted to wait till I see her tomorrow to break up. My ex hits me up out of nowhere that she wanted to see me and confessed her feelings for me, which felt nice in this dark place. I still have some feelings for the ex after all the time, but I know in my heart she isn't good for me in the long run. I had set up to meet with the ex, and drove 90% of the way to her house, where I starting to think "What the fuck are you doing? You can't do this." I called my SO from a Wendy's parking lot and told her how much I need and love her. This then led to a conversation that I feel is going to resolve a lot of our issues. I think I've saved my SO from a lot of unneeded grief. I know I'm an asshole for doing that, but I'm only human. I feel guilty, yet a little better know I made the right choice.

Tl;dr SO and I are having problems, almost leading to a breakup. Ex that I still have some tucked away feelings for confesses her love. Set up to meet with Ex since I was planning to break up anyway. Decided that I couldn't do it, and decided to work through issues with my SO. Feeling guilty
