My girlfriend and I just broke up. My retarded worldview that I've developed by reading philosophy like Plato, the Nikayas, and the Bible is entirely to blame. Why couldn't I be happy with what I had?

What did you break up over though? Did your ideas of a virtous life not line up with hers or something?

We had been seeing each other for 6 months and the time commitment was definitely detracting from my readings and the light asceticism I was practicing before I met her. I felt like I was stagnating and becoming content with just living a normal life. Plus the sex was making me feel a little too addicted to sensual pleasure.

I just let it all out one night and told her I missed focusing entirely on myself and my spiritual and intellectual development.

I still feel very regretful and pained right now since the breakup happened recently but I hope I made the right choice. I felt like I was trading one happiness for another, more ephemeral and worldly, while I was with her. The relationship was absolutely thrilling at first but my view of things just changed over time and I started to miss the old me.

Why would you be happy with a 'girlfriend'?
The point of women is to make them pregnant. Kids are more likely to make you happy, but it's not the end goal.

You'll always regret.
I think the choice to come to 4chan was a poor one, but if you think you can really make use of this time then do. Keep in mind the sayings Ecclesiastes.
"Considering I found also another vanity under the sun: There is but one, and he hath not a second, no child, no brother, and yet he ceaseth not to labour, neither are his eyes satisfied with riches, neither doth he reflect, saying: For whom do I labour, and defraud my soul of good things? in this also is vanity, and a grievous vexation. It is better therefore that two should be together, than one: for they have the advantage of their society: If one fall he shall be supported by the other: woe to him that is alone, for when he falleth, he hath none to lift him up. And if two lie together, they shall warm one another: how shall one alone be warmed? And if a man prevail against one, two shall withstand him: a threefold cord is not easily broken."
4:7-12
