Coping with a breakup advice?

I dated a guy for 2 years and we fought a lot. He recently broke up with me saying he wanted to be single. I was his first girlfriend (said I was the only girl he ever found worth dating). I was/am so devastated. This is someone I love so much it's crazy. We didn't see each other after the first month of breaking up and now hes been wanting to spend time with me and we've been getting along great. I brought up getting back together and he said no. He doesn't understand why I'm not happy with things right now. We are still in each others lives and we don't fight anymore. He says it's our last year of college and we need to do our own thing and enjoy the last bit. He says he still loves me, doesn't rule out the future, and gets really upset when I get really sad about things because he just wishes I could be happy. I don't know what to do, think, say, or how to feel better. Advice?Coping with a breakup advice?
Stand up for yourself and stop letting him drag your heart through the mud. It's obvious that you want more than a friendship, and you can't keep seeing him if he wants only that.





Cut yourself off from him. Allow yourself to heal and you'll be able to move on.





In college, a guy can feel like an addiction. The only real way I ever found to deal with someone who hurt me was to stop cold turkey. No faux friendships.Coping with a breakup advice?
That has got to be hard, but just know that he needs time. Sometimes you need a break on something to get perspective on it. If he has something he needs to get out of his system it would be wise to let him get it out and enjoy being single in his last years of college. He just may not be ready to settle down and get really serious, and it's good that he respects you and loves you enough to break it off so he doesn't hurt you. 2 years is a long time to date someone, especially in college. Feel free to causally date other people, it could give you some perspective as well.





If being around him is too hard, let him know you need a little time without him in your life, and he should respect that. Don't keep nagging him about getting back together, he knows how you feel and bringing it up over and over again will only irritate him. Let him know that you respect his decision and just try and have fun around him. You can still love him without dating him exclusively and enjoy his friendship just like you enjoyed your relationship.
