Trying to move on.
So here's my story: I'm a 23 year old who just broke up with my boyfriend of nearly 5 years. I cannot begin to express the pain I'm feeling. The reason was because I decided to move 4 hours away to go to college, and he didn't want to go with me. I was so upset and just resented him for months until I couldn't take it anymore and broke it off. I still don't understand how you can date someone for this long, someone your madly in love with, and not say "yes, of course I'll move with you." I wanted him to JUMP with me! Take a leap of faith... I'm only trying to better myself so our future is that much greater. During our relationship, we lived together for 14 months. It was great... probably the best time during our relationship. Well, it's been a little over a month now and I'm losing my mind. I cannot eat, sleep, study, smile, laugh... my life has essentially come to a screeching halt. I miss him so much it hurts. We shared our dreams and our futures... wanted to get married and have babies. So hard to watch those dreams walk away. I just really need some advice. I need to know how people get through this? I just got off the phone with him. That was the second time since we broke up. It was definitely better than the first conversation, but there's a lot of pain there. He's really upset that I left him, and I understand that. But, I also feel that I had no choice. I would have moved for him in a heart beat. My mind tells me to move on, and my heart tells me to try and resolve this. We ended the conversation by saying "i love you". Obviously we wish that we could have made it... someone please help me. I'm about as desperate as a girl can get. Thanks so much. I would really appreciate hearing what you think. Am I wrong? Did I let the love of my life go? Lindsey
