He no longer loves me after 8 years together. Will he come back?
My boyfriend recently split up with me. We were together for 8 years and we were each others first love. We met when we were 16. We have had such a great relationship, with its ups and downs of course, but we get on so well and I thought we had something very special. He told me about a month ago that he no longer loves me and that he wants to be on his own, and experience life on his own. He moved away from me 8 months ago, to further his career. I was always very supportive of him and let him do his thing. I understand that being apart can affect a relationship but I can't help but feel that he has thrown a great thing away. I feel lonely, sad and depressed and constantly think of him. His father is very sick too and I feel that he is running away from all his commitments in life to think of himself. Can anyone help make sense of all this?
