i am completely broken
My (23m) now ex-bf (20m) had been in a relationship for 6 months. he was backpacking in australia when we met and he was just supposed to stay in my city for a few weeks. our chemistry when we met were through the roof. i still remember our very first day meeting up when i cooked him 3 different egg doneness because i didnt know what he prefers. he thought that was the sweetest gesture. i met him when he was stressed out about his car where he had just paid too much of to repair. apparently the swet gesture that i did was enough to comfort him through a difficult time. after a while of dating, we decided to be in a relationship and he found a job in my city so that means he was able to stay for more.
a lot has happened since then. he gave me courage to get out of my comfort zone and realize im on the wrong career path. he gave me the courage to come out to my parents and when they did not react to it that well, he stupidly drove into my place at 11pm in the night when he had just drank some alcohol just to be able to comfort me. we would go to the clubs where i’d get drunk and embarrassingly dance away but he still somehow found me attractive. we would go on trips together, and i’d always cook for him. he would always take a picture of the meals and send it to everyone he knows and for that time being, i felt appreciated.
unfortunately he had to leave my country. his dream job awaits him there and his passion for his career inspired me to go find my passion in life. it had been a month now where the relationship doesn’t feel the same anymore. we’ve just been so busy and it felt he didnt have time for me anymore. it turns out he’d been accepted on his job and he’d have to live with colleagues. that means our plan on moving in together wouldnt work until atleast 2 years. just today he had broken up with me and i just feel numb and lonely. he was crying on the phone when we called and i just couldn’t get myself to say good bye to him. we had to end the call and thats when i sent him the attached message then proceeded to unfriend him on all socials. deleting our pictures was the hardest and i’ve just been crying all day. how would you cut off someone you love and care for. the breakup was so sudden. i was happy talking about him to my friends just 2 days ago. before he left he promised he’d wait for me there and im just completely broken. please give me advice on how to go from this
