How can I cope with this breakup?

My boyfriend and I would have been dating for a year in one week, but today he broke up with me. I had been expecting it for about a month at least, but I am very upset. He was my first boyfriend, my first kiss, and I was his first girlfriend and his first kiss. We are both 19, and I felt like there was a special bond between us because of that.





I've been crying off and on for about 5 hours now. I've been crying so much that I have a headache, and I started to feel really nauseous earlier.





He said we can still remain friends and hang out and stuff, which is basically what it's been like for the past month anyways. I really hope he sincerely meant that.





After we were broken up, he offered to walk me back to my dorm room, and to take the long way so I could avoid as many people as possible. He held doors open for me and everything. He almost acted nicer then than when we were dating. What does this mean? Did he just feel bad for breaking my heart?





Please, anyone, how can I cope with this? I'm devastated.How can I cope with this breakup?
if he has a heart at all he feels bad for breaking you heart.


i know how you feel, i just got out of the relationship with my first boyfriend and kiss, though our relationship was much shorter. unfortunately mine was messy, but i think still being friends would be an awesome thing, and i'm sure he was serious, but you might want to give each other some space for a bit.


i think the worst thing you can do is remember the relationship and think of it perfectly without flaws. Remember that it wasn't perfect that there were things that did not go good and things that he did that annoyed you. but that doesn't mean forget the positive either, the hardest part is realizing all these things that you won't ever do. :/ but realize there will be someone else, that there are tons more fish in the sea, some one that is better for you. do not become a shut in, surround yourself with friends, go out have fun and enjoy being single for awhile, I'm not saying go date or anything but enjoy the freedom and lack of responsibility of being single.





i know you'll probably hear this fifty million times but once you realize you are better off with out him you'll feel tons better.
