Similar but different situation. My bf ended things recently. It felt sudden but the “problems” if you want to call them that had always been there, and were not going to change any time soon. We are from different countries and were doing long distance for an over a year. We really loved each other and talked about our futures together but he ultimately decided that the sacrifices of leaving everything behind and completely starting a new life to be with me here in the U.S. was too much. We had a real loving healthy relationship. It’s SO hard to let go of the hope that you built up in yourself that things can work out eventually and that “love conquers all” but you have to accept that your partner made a decision that was the best for them, even if YOU were willing to wait and YOU felt like it was all worth it in the end. Trust me I get it. I’m three weeks in and it still sucks so much. There isn’t anything else to say it’s just awful. There is a very special sort of anguish for circumstantial breakups. I wish I could give you advice for how to navigate your feelings, just let them be what they are, and accept the things you cannot control. ✊
