It is pure agony losing the love of a lifetime after 8 1/2 years because I could not be anything more than a part time LDR for him because of my situation and his heart couldn’t wait any longer holding out for me while getting closer to a friend in his circle. And the fact that I would basically push him towards her and say he should date someone who can be there more than I can. He tried to keep me and include me from a distance and stay true to me but I know it was difficult and I could sense he really liked this person a lot. I let him go but it is so very heart breaking.
