DP, who I loved more than I've ever loved, broke up with me this past weekend. He doesn't want children, I do. I know it's right.

I know I will feel better eventually but any tips, reassurance that I won't die of this pain (sorry), advice, please please

If you're happy that's great. I really hope it turns out OK for you.
Make sure you keep your promise though, this is exactly how the "stringing along" starts. Also worth noting it's not always intentional.
Good luck! Grin

I think giving yourselves two more years, at the most, to reassess the situation is a fair compromise.

You will have to be very strong if the answer is the same in two years, having invested even more time in the relationship.

I hope things work out for you op.

Two things

  1. I thought my ex was just like your man. I idolised him just like you. He wasn’t though and broke my heart.
  2. I now am (usually) very happily married with a child. The joy my child brings me is worth the love of a million husbands.

My advice would be take the pain quickly and hard. Get to this weekend and let it engulf you. Don’t try to cheer yourself up, see the bright side or dull the blow. And then the instant you let yourself just accept the pain it will start to rapid fly and organically get better by itself.

Most of the pain we feel in London de comes from trying to avoid what us really hurting us.

Life not London.

Although, speaking from personal experience, break-ups in London can be bloody awful.
