Redditors who are now married because you didn't know how to break up with your significant other, how is that going for you?

I wish my bf (now ex) would think the same. Just broke up cause he said he didn't feel the way he used to feel in the beginning. I was so secure, so certain that i had found just the right person, you know? I didn't even think that could be no future for us. We talked about a whole life together: the kids, the house, the pets. We spent almost everyday together cause we're at the same class (yeah we chose the same course in university), we used to get along so well ! Really, we are so compatible. But a few days ago everything changed, he changed, he said he didn't feel the same, and he wanted his freedom to do whatever he wanted to. So he's wasting a 3y relationship just because he wants freedom. The mainly reason he feels this ways (and he agrees with me) it's because his parents split up when he was 3 years old, so he grew up seeing his mother dating guy after guy, going out at night everyday, having a teenager life. So I guess he thinks happiness is that kind of life. And i don't want to force him to stay with me. I want him to be happy. I just wish someone would tell him "go fight for her, cause she's worth it". But no one will tell him that. And it will be hard, we still have 2 more months until the end of our bachelor's degree in archaeology, and i will have to see him everyday and talk to him because we still have university projects together. It's so hard, you know? Knowing that my mother also contributed to this (she hated him, insulted him a couple times), and knowing that i'm losing the love of my life (that's a bit cheesy, but i can't help thinking like this). I've always been loyal, always did so much for him. I love him, but it's killing me inside. I have problems at home, and he was the only person I had, because I don't have any friends. Now I'm left with nothing. He wants to be friends with me, but i don't want that. I want to forget him asap. But i don't think that will happen. I keep crying all the time, can't really help it. I'm sorry for the long post, it just makes me so happy to see other couples that got through all the problems and in the end they stayed together. And I see other couples, i see other girls, and I think: what do they have that I don't? I'm pretty, I'm smart, I'm honest, loyal, a good person, and i know a few cases where girls are not that loyal, and still the guys choose to stay with them. So what's missing here? I really don't understand. So congratulations, i hope you continue to be happy and in love :)
