Makes Sense Long Term but Sucks Right Now

Hey, I just got dumped today. This has been different for me because in the past I was the one who never took relationships seriously enough or I just simply fell out of love. This was my first long term relationship and I still love him so much. Although we'd been fighting more than usual in the past month I somehow never saw this coming. This hurts like hell but we both know that this will better for both of our well-beings. I'm just coming to realize that sometimes you need to put yourself first, no matter how much you love someone. I'm sad and the person I usually turn to is someone I can't turn to anymore. As someone who has been on both sides of a similar breakup, I can tell you they both hurt but I promise time will heal you. All you can do is wish her the best. It's okay to still love someone after two years of being together. For now, do the things that make you happy. Keep yourself busy. This pain you're feeling will begin to fade away before you know it. One day you'll be able to remember the good times you shared without it hurting. You'll come to realize this was just a chapter in your life and you made it through. Good luck
