Thought I would add this to this thread.. Hope you don't mind Mckenzie, but I believe others will also identify with what you are going through.. You can still pm me if you need to talk.. Take it easy..
Like my ex, I believe your ex was growing this idea of leaving you for a long time, perhaps anything up to 6 months... She used the comment by the friend as an excuse. She probably wanted out badly but may not have wanted to hurt you because she probably cared for you.
My ex did not categorically leave me for another man. She did however hint that she missed being single and flirting with men and possibly wanted to experiment...
This happens often to young women and although the thought will make you physically sick, you cannot deny that this is not a great possibility for your ex. I am not saying she is easy but she may need time to find herself. This could manifest itself in numerous ways and this is an important part of her growth mentally and physically.
This is what you must accept and realise that you can never control the inevitable but you can learn from experiences and grow emotionally.
Love will find you again, you just have to move on and in time, these feelings of sadness, anger, resentment will fade into something much more tolerable.
Take it easy..

Your ex is young, it could well have happened even if you distanced yourself and kept busy. Sure it may have bought you an extra year or 2 with her, there is no denying that possibility but the likelihood taht she would have done this anyway is very high because of her age. Girls at this age just want to have fun being single, dating different people, discovering themselves..
You just have to pack your bags (so to speak) and chalk this one up to experience. After nearly 8 months post breakup, my ex has not come back, not heard from her in 7 months. Shes gone and there is nothing I can do about it. It tore my heart apart but in the end, the only thing I could do was accept it and let go. Life is a funny thing..
Take it easy buddy..PM me if ever you need advice or are feeling down.

Im still trying to get over it after 6 weeks and i still kick myself for not having a bitmore of my own life. I have followed your story throughout and i hope your doing well. I always hope she calls me and we can work things out but itdoesnt lok promising at the moment. Its amazing how i sit here and think how just before she broke it off she was tellingme we are a serious couple. Well i just got sucked in telling how much she loved me i still reaent it now wish i had of kept her waiting abit more on her own at home bored...just tried to be nice what a!!!!
Hay geoff your right life is a funny ting I'm trying noyt to feel to down... 3 1/2 years is a long time. Do you know dfid your girlfriend leave for another guy, mine did not and is on her own yet she gets plenty of guys asking her out so there's no problem with that if she wanted it. My hardest thing is to get over the fact she kept on judging our relationship and said she was deciding weather we were going to be together forever or not she kept sayiong she ways up the good and the bad. Days leading to our break up were so good everything was fine and then one night were out and my stupid mate made some comment about her being easy, and she said well if your friends think I'm like that they don't respect me or you and themn the next day she said she wanted a break to see if the love she felt for me was enough forever she didn't know what it should feel like... Its so hard I blame him for making that stupid commenmt and no longer talk to him... I still can't believe he would say something like that and he has said to me he was talking about someone elae and they got it wrong, that pretty much ended my chances with her and she told me that she was tossing things up but that was the final straw...
