    Long story short…fiancé been with over 5 years told me he cheated a couple months ago but he loves me and wants to try. I Took some time to think, decided i want it to work. I thought things were going good, all in love with each other and then last night he says he feels empty and that he tried but he feels nothing with me anymore. I’m more heartbroken than I was before

    I can understand how you’re heartbroken. Break ups are painful. The gift in all this is that you didn’t marry, so there’s less to unravel than if you’d been married, but the heartache is still real. The best way to get through a break up is to try and understand why it happened, your part in it, and what you’d like to do differently next time around. At the same time, it’s helpful to balance nurturing yourself. Use the break up as an opportunity to move forward in your life. If you’ve always wanted to take a trip, try a new sport, befriend someone interesting you only know a little — this is the time to use the time and space you’ll now have, for new endeavors. Stay busy and keep your good friends and family close. Keep your weekends booked, and your calendar scheduled so you don’ have time to feel sorry for yourself.

    I hope that helps. If you have any specific questions, please feel free to ask. 😉

    Thanks. I know how to move on, as hard as it can be. I really thought he was the one, his teenage boys are like my own and have been staying with me while we were sorting things out. Until he said that last night. And I understand people change and fall out of love but he says he will always love me, but that he feels empty. Its so confusing

    I understand. 🙁 People who divorce after 5, 10 or more years, tend to feel the same way. It’s confusing to be so committed, and then to be broken up. It can tend to feel surreal — but when you get out there and have coffee with friends and put on makeup and meet people for dinner and volunteer, the surreal feeling tends to fade away, and real life tends to become front and center, and that’s how you get over the surreal feeling, the confusion and the break up. 😉
