I just can´t stop crying. I do not know how he can do this to me - to us. Yesterday (when he came over to talk) he told me that he loves me and that I am an amazing person and that he knows that he will love me forever and that he will never meet someone like me, ever. If this is how he feels, then why does he wanna leave me? Why does he not wanna be with me anymore? It is so hard for me to understand it all. He seems to be so cold about the whole situation, and I do not recognize him at all. He keeps telling me that I didnt do anything wrong and that he always loved me but right now that is so hard for me to belive. I love him with all my heart even if it is broken, and I also feel totally alone right now. I feel so empty and even betrayed. I feel as if I can not live without him. The thought of a life without him makes me scared and makes me panic. He has been the sushine in my life, my lover, my friend, my supporter - my everything and now..... Aww I dont even wanna think about it. I KNOW that it is not a situation of him seeing someone else - that I am really sure about but there must be a reason somewhere. You dont just love someone and leave them without a reason. Do you? I know that it will be better with time and that I will go on with my life, but right now I dont even want to. I cry several hours a day and beeing at work is horrible even if it keeps me busy. I just wanna go to bed and cry - cry for the loss of the love of my life!

You don't say why the break-up occurred and what his reasons were for leaving you, but reading this, I have a theory. It seems to me that he might need a break from a fairly full-on relationship, to take stock and breathe again. Sometimes, guys get scared about the intensity of their feelings and need time out. He's told you he loves you and always will, and you say he doesn't have somebody else, so I would think this is probably his reason. I have a guy who I know loves me, and I love him above everything else, but whenever we get really, really close, he panics, and withdraws for a while. At times like this, I give him his space because I know I can be fairly overwhelming with my love for him. It grows all the time... I can't walk away from him, and I know he will be back... as always. I feel that you might be in a similar situation and if you can just carry on with your life for a while, but keep him in mind and drop him the occasional little note telling him how much you miss him, he might well be back. He needs a breather, and you should respect that. Take the time to take a breather yourself, have fun with some girlfriends and then assess what it is you really want from life. Brightest Blessings... I know how hard this is. It's a type of emotional abuse, but if you can accept his needs as important as well as yours, then you should pull through this. :)

This is good advice, and I'm not going to say it isn't. But, only if you actually think you still have a chance to get back together. But if he made it clear that you are through, it would not be best to 'drop him I miss you notes,' it will just keep you hurting. To keep thinking you have a chance to get back together, when there actually is no chance is just going to hurt you more. I know it may seem to help you, to try and pursuade him back, but it may be the worst thing you could do for yourself. Just keep strong, and try not to hold onto the past. What is done is done, you just have to move on.

I do really not think that this is the case. That he just needs a breather. he has made up his mind and he will not change it. We have lived together for a year and a half and I love him... However he has always been the more loving one to the extend where I felt sufficated at one time. I have however never had a problem to show my love for him =) The reason he broke up is that he feels as if the last fight was one too many - but i can honsetly say that it was a small one and if u count the fights we´ve had during the 1.5 years - you can count them on your 10 fingers AND they have never been big I am his first relatonship and he is in for a real shock if he thinks that he will find someone that he never will have a fight with. Oh well - I just know that there must be something else. I do not have any hopes at all to getting him back and the way that he ended it all makes me unsure that I could ever trust him even if we did work things out. Just packing up and leaving in the middle of the night (read more in my other discussion)

Yes...great advice all except the part about sending him notes!!Don't do it and don't call no matter how tempting. let him miss you. If he does come back then your relationship will be much stronger.

I'm feeling very sad for you as well. I know how a heartbreak feels. Actually, I just wrote an article on how to deal with a heartbreak on my blog yesterday at www.yourguidetofashion.blogspot.com He may have his reasons but just doesn't want to say. Maybe he just feels as though you two weren't compatable. Sometimes, people can love eachother deeply, but still, they are not meant for one another. I believe everyone has a soul mate, maybe he wasn't yours. You WILL go on, and you ARE a great person. It's perfectly okay to cry, I say, let it all out. Once you can cry it all out, then it is time to move on with your great life, and find who is actually right for you. I don't know if this has helped at all, but I sure hope so. If ever you need someone to talk to, I am here, I will lend you my ear, or in this case, my eyes (I will be reading your words, not hearing!:D), and I will always try to give you the best advice I can. It's be okay...it WILL be okay, you just need time to greive.

Hi Marie, I don't mean to rain on your parade or make matters worse for you, but this exact same thing happened to me, several years ago I was dating this guy and we were to the point of living together and things were getting very close with us. Then one night after a wonderful dinner at my favorite restaurant and then a shopping trip where he bought me a beautiful watch. I came back to his house (where I had been staying for the past 6 months), and he proceeded to break up with me, telling me those exact same words. I was devastrated to say the least, it came out of the blue, we had been dating at this point for 2.5 years, I could not figure out what was wrong. I went back to my apartment which I had not been to for the previous 6 months and tried to start my life over, it was hard, I cried everyday, I called my friends, even went and visited some since he refused to talk to me after we broke up. About a month afterwards (still not over him) he showed up at my doorstep with explanations (they always do months later) seems he had been seeing his ex girlfriend and he got married to her 2 weeks after he and I broke up. I was even more devastrated and it has a whole another story after that. But what I wanted to say to you, I know you are hurting, and truly have no idea what happened, but you have to know you will get through this and someday, hopefully soon, you will really know why he broke up with you, perhaps when he is stronger and can talk about it. I wish you the best, my friend!

Wow, this was a horrible story. I am lucky though in the sense that he has no exes *lol* I know for a fact that it is not the case of another girl... But like u said - it is hard to not know why!! I know i will get through it with the help from family and friends that are also as shocked as me. he has been (and is still) loved by all my family and all my friends. I just feel so useless right now =(

I hope so to, but I am not sure that it will happen. I agree, the worst thing now is to tell all the people that I have been bragging about him to - what a nice guy he is an dhow happy we are - and the next day he is gone. A friend said to me that breaking up after a relationship is almost the same as a person dying - you go through the same grief and the same emotions...

Yeah, I remember that being the hardest, cause when you wanted to call friends they would ask about him and it was the hardest to say you were not together cause it would make me cry. When I did find out he was seeing his ex, I was shocked and so many were also, he never let it be known that he was seeing her, and he was with me all the time, except during work hours, so it was very much a shock. I hope you find the answers to these questions sometimes soon. Take care

Well Marie I can tell you, this is the worse of it, right now where you are at. From here in time, it will get better, not worse. I wish I could send a magic wand your way to wipe out the pain you are in right now, but I can't. I can just say, as with all bad things, this too shall pass. You may never have an answer as to why this is happening, he may not even know why himself right now. The only thing that is in your power at this time, is getting through this, I have faith in you, you can and you will. The tears have to come first as well as the pain, but you are going to fight your way past it all and you will smile again. I promise you that.

Oh Marie, I am sad for you. I know how much you loved this guy - your love for him shone through all the posts you have written in the past where you mention him. Of course it is hard for you, and it is also hard for someone who has never met you or him to analyse the situation.......... But perhaps - maybe - he has just got scared I remember you have been posting about the recent health scare...... I know he was very supportive of you, - but maybe it made him think. Maybe he is scared of being with someone who has had health problems, and feels he cannot cope properly? If he says he does still love you - then I am sure he does. But perhaps he realises he cannot be strong enough to look after you if you get ill again? Or maybe he is having pressure from outside? His family maybe? All I can say is - it will get easier. I know it doesn't feel that way right now, but time honestly is a great healer. You are a good person, and you have lots of love to give. You deserve someone decent to share their life with you. And if you want my advice.......... for the first week or so - don't try and fight it. Let the tears flow because they need to come out for you to heal and strengthen with time. Stay indoors until you feel well enough to face the world. Maybe even buy some comfort food, and just rest until you feel strong enough to face the world again. And I can assure you, that you will.

Ending a loving relationship is much more painful than ending a bad one even tho both are hurtful. One thing I do know is that time not only heals but also brings to light new understanding. You say that he isn't seeing anyone else which is usually the reason that people do such things. Myself, I broke up with a man because I had so much going on in my personal life at the time that I did not have the time to be fair to a relationship. I needed some space. Trying to fit in time & energy for him was stressing me out and not fair to him. He did think I was seeing someone else. In time, he learned that I was not. Keep busy...vent on here and there is nothing wrong with crying.

Wow, this sounds all too familiar to me! I went through the same thing a year ago with my husband. It was the hardest time of my life and lasted for 9 months! Just be strong and I will give you advice that my husband gave me: hope for the best, prepare for the worst! Maybe some day he will change his mind and come back to you..but you have to prepare yourself that he might not!

I hope love always win. You are in deep love and same with him. Maybe there was some reason but I think time has come to reunite. I think you should try to be strong from inner heart and believe that you are true, your love is true and that's you will get a loving life very soon. You can go ahead with this strength in mind. Hope everything normalise very soon.

I feel sad for you. But, how can you just accept this. why don't you ask him the reason? See, you have every right to know why you are being left. I know it is difficult for you. But, if you love a person and the other person also loves you, then you should try to find out the truth. If you find any genuine reason to leave, then you have to be strong and have to face it. Remember, that time will heal your wound. Now, you may feel that you cannot live, but be strong and face it. I pray for your well being and happiness. Take care.

break-ups really hurts, but what really hurts is that when they leave without any reason... you can't move on beacuse you don't know the reason why he left you, but there is also no reason for you not to stop crying... don't waste your time on him... you showed your love and care, its not your lost its his lost... so try to open your heart again and look for the rigth person to love....

awww....there will be plenty others out there. You just don't want to believe that now. Life is a funny thing. I am sure there is a reason, but he doesn't want to talk to you about it now. The beset thing to do is to keep busy and take care of yourself.

Hunny he is a creep to beat all creeps. He is lieing through his teeth to keep you in line tell he is done getting his stuff from you. I would bet anthing he has a girl or a guy that he cheated on you with. You can do much bettrer then that creep. If he beleaved all that stuff he told you then he wouldn't leave. You need to stop crying and get angry at him for using you and tossing you aside.

i think that ive been through of what you are undergoing right now. i think that you need to wallow and cry right now. you need to release those emotions. allow your self to cry, to be sad, to be depress because there is no better way than to let it all out. however, when you go to bed, remember that tomorrow will be a better day. tomorrow will be full of promises, new hopes, new love, new life and new you. remember, nobody owns your heart but you. and it is only you who can make you happy. you have been whole even before you met him, therefore, you can be whole again even if he is gone. start all over again even if it hurts you so much because you have no other choice but to move on.

I think the one thing that really bugs you is why he is leaving you when he still loves you. However, I think all that he has said are just plain excuses, he just want to sugar-coat his words so that he won't hurt you more than he already did, but I think he is actually hurting you more by not giving you a proper reason why. Anyway, men like him don't deserve your tears. You should cry this over and get on with life, find a better love and show that guy that you deserve better!! Go go !!

sounds very familiar. it happened to me before, but unlike you, i am the one who became so cold. i don't know the reason. he seems to be a perfect guy. but sometimes. love fades and you don't know why. the important thing is for you to move on.
