A month ago my ex boyfriend of eight months ended our relationship over text he rang and explained that he no longer had feelings for me and couldn't see a future with me, we met up and he cried and told ne he's not ready to settle down, after said he doesn't understand why he's doing this because he really cares about me but then said he still wants it over.. He has told me now there's no chance of us ever getting back together that he's happy and he has no regrets ending things... day one of no contact and I'm already finding it do difficult I'm absolutely heartbroken :(

Day one just sucks, day two is bad, day three may feel worst.
But by the time you get to week three or week four it will get better.

Seldom does break ups go well.

I think that you probably have some idea of why he broke up with you; seldom does it happen where it is completely unexpected.

That being said, maybe you should consider yourself lucky, because after only 8 months, you haven't invested a good chunk of your life. A clean break is better than complications with babies for example. No ties is a good place to start over.

He left little doubt that the relationship is over- for good. Whatever his reasons are, at least he was honest, and did what he felt he had to do. Better than stringing you along, or cheating.

It takes time to get over being a couple, to being single again. Be careful not to jump into any new relationship until you are sure you are over the last one. Be fair to yourself, and give yourself the gift of time.
