I recently ended my relationship with my boyfriend. We were together for three years and even though I was the one who ended it I feel completely heartbroken.
I truly believed he would be my person. He was my best friend the closest person I’ve ever had in my life and the only person I’ve ever loved this deeply. The breakup happened because there were things in the relationship that I couldn’t ignore anymore. He was ready to propose but deep down I didn’t feel the level of trust and reliability I needed in a life partner.
Even knowing that the pain has been overwhelming. I miss him constantly. I cry myself to sleep most nights and nothing seems to fill the emptiness or quiet the longing. We fought through so much to be together made sacrifices and overcame countless obstacles. Sometimes it feels devastating to think that all of that still wasn’t enough.
I don’t regret loving him. If anything I feel grateful that I got to experience a connection that deep. But it’s been weeks since the breakup and I still love him so much that it feels like it’s consuming me from the inside. Right now everything else feels dull and unimportant compared to what I’ve lost.
I hate knowing that I hurt him. I hate losing someone who meant so much to me.
For anyone who has gone through something similar how did you move forward when you still loved the person with your whole heart? How did you cope with letting go of someone you never wanted to stop loving?

I hope you're no contact and you've blocked any social media. Being reminded of him will make this all much harder. Breakups suck and it takes a bit of time to get through this initial grief stage. Distract yourself, rely on your friends, take it day by day, and sometime soon you will feel lighter. You broke up for a good reason. Don't start doubting that now.
