So my boyfriend left me…

Tonight, my boyfriend left me after us being together for almost 1,5 years. It was heading down-hill for a while, and the dumping was sort of expected.

Even though I was able to forsee him leaving me, I still cannot help but feel lonely and empty. Logically, I realise that this is a silly feeling to have given that chances are I'm going to be in another relationship later on in life - and at that point, when I think back, I will find all of this fleeting. Despite that, I cannot help but feel empty…

My boyfriend and I had been through a lot together, had manys ups and downs (fortunately, may more ups than downs) - and had shared MANY new experiences together. I guess, not having that pillar in times of need is what is causing this feeling of emptiness and loneliness. I have been crying for a while now, while at the same time, thinking about this situation logically, I know that I will look back upon this moment and think, "Why did I feel as such et cetera."

I guess, it all just boils down to - I miss holding him, kissing him, being with him, hell, I just miss him.

What I want to ask is: has anyone in the forum gone through something simillar before…where after a break up, they feel distraught, empty, and lonely, but at the same time, know that when looking back upon this moment in time from the future, realise that these feelings were, for the lack of a better word, fleeting?

Hey,

I haven't really been in the same situation as such, but I went through an excruciating time with a guy who decided he wanted to be just friends with me just after i told him how much I liked him and knew he liked me too. If it is any help - although stuff like this hurts like hell believe me it will go away. my advice - turn to your mates you are going to need them.

Sounds like ya average break up to me. Time will heal. And you know what they say...'don't frown because it's over, smile because it happened' :smile:
