Only you can answer the question as to went went wrong in your relationship.There are many reasons why relationships fail.But the one thing you mentioned in your post about having a 2 year long distance relationship,gives me a little hint as to what might have gone wrong.Long distance relationships are very hard to keep up.Especially if there for as long as yours was,2 years. Without having you around, your boyfriend most likely became lonely for companionship and found someone to fill that need. Not that he was right in doing this he certainly wasn't but talking on the phone or writing to each other, is not the same as having someone right there with you.Especially when it comes to the physical part of the relationship,if you get what I mean.Plus, being apart form you for so long, he just might have fallen out of love with you and found it with someone else.That's very sad and I think he could have tried harder to make it work with you, after all the time you've been together. I wish you luck.

well this certainly shed some light on the first dicsussion that you posted.5 years is quite a long time and although i am not too familiar with all that went on in your relationship, from what you stated earlier, i can guess as to why your relationship may have failed.2 years spent apart is very taxing on a relationship, especially if communication isn't constant.personaly, i think that a long distance relationship is very hard to handle and maintain, but kudos to you for having kept it up for 2 years.but like a said, it is taxing.perhaps he got lonely (although not a valid excuse).i kind of had the same experience with my ex boyfriend, but there was no new girl involved.or perhaps he got tired of your situation.he needed something that wasn't there perhaps. a companion. and because of the distance between you two, he looked for it elsewhere (again, ot a valid reason). may i ask, in the two years that you spent apart you never saw him or visited him or vice versa? that may also have been a cause, like one respondent to your discussion said, having the person right there beside you is quite different, no matter how frequent the calls.and on him finding someone new, that was callous of him.was there even a formal break up before he "found" this new person?
