My boyfriend of 4 years dumped me. It was very sudden & unexpected, we had a 'break' in Feb following an argument but he came back after a week saying he really regretted it. We didn't live together before due to financial circumstances but as we both were now in stable jobs we had started looking. He booked us a viewing for a flat, it was absolutely perfect, I told him how much I liked it and then he dumped me right there in the street. Haven't spoken to him since other than to pick up some of my stuff from his.
Saw him in the street last month while I was walking home from work, he was sitting outside the pub with one of his friends from work, he turned to whisper in the guy's ear rather than show his face. I had sunglasses on thank god because I cried the rest of the way home.
People keep saying it will get better and I'll meet someone new, I don't see that happening and keep picturing myself getting older & always being this lonely. Despite not living together we spent a lot of time together - my evenings and weekends feel so empty.
Doesn't help that all our friends were his friends, he is no doubt being comforted at this difficult time by multiple people while I have no one.
Does it really get better when a breakup is so one sided and unexpected?
