I’m sorry your relationship didn’t work out, but from what you’ve written, this break up is for the best, and the sooner you understand that your history with this guy wasn’t pointing toward a good, healthy future together, you’ll understand that you’re better off without him. Nobody wants to be with a guy who doesn’t want them, and as much as rejection hurts, being the booby prize is worse. Way worse. So accept the good times and the fact that this relationship has run it’s course.
In addition, your boyfriend moving out of state to go to college is an excellent reason to end the relationship. Long distance relationships are very hard under the best of circumstances, but what you have is a boyfriend who’s ready to start dating other people, and college campus scenes are rich with opportunity to date other women (and men), so this is good timing for the break up.
I know that this is hurting you, but it’s much better to get the pain of a ripped off band aid over with, rather than slowly feeling the excruciation of a long-term rip. You can heal a lot more quickly from this clean break up.
During this aftermath of the break up, your focus needs to be on YOU!! 🙂 Be kind to yourself, and give yourself the fabulous attention that you deserve. Exercise, eat well, get a great hair cut and have your nails done. Spend time with your best friends and family and make sure to go out to the movies and dinner with these people who have your best interests at heart.
Eventually you WILL bounce back and I promise you that you’re going to meet someone even more fabulous than this last boyfriend.
