My GF has left me after 18 months. We'd been having a pretty rough patch lately and we were arguing a lot, but we had both agreed to work hard at it and try to make it work. She's moved around a lot and had a lot of problems over the last year and a half and I've sacrificed a lot to stick with her and help her through it because I love her very much. This includes actually letting her live for free in my family home for three months over the winter when she was pretty much at rock bottom.
About 2 months, after a couple more moves, she ended up moving back to a place she'd lived before in a shared house. Round about the same time, she changed and was much less open and warm to me. Not like she used to be. She had finally settled in a new place and had good friends in the other people who lived there. Things deteriorated and we pretty much lost the spark and fun that had made the relationship good. We decided to take a break from the relationship last week to see if it reignited the old spark we used to have and she promised we would get back together. Anyway, she called and said it was over last night. I feel very badly let down and betrayed. I'm struggling to accept she could treat me like this. The feelings of grief and sadness are very overwhelming, like nothing I've ever known. Just seeing if anyone had any advice about this? I've accepted its over but its so hard to move on. We had so many plans and I loved and miss her so much.
I feel like she used me all that time until she got her life sorted. I feel very sad and uncertain about the future and I don't know how to cope with these feelings. Never knew something could hurt this much.
Any help is hugely appreciated, I'm at a loss.
Thanks
