My boyfriend left me. He said he wants to take a break to focus on other things. He says he doesn't expect me to wait for him. He's leaving me when I need him the most. My entire body hurts. I can't stop crying. After 4 & 1/2 years I'm alone, with nobody to talk to, nobody to love me back. I wish that my heart would stop beating so that it would stop the pain from spreading. I know he's not gonna come back, he's going to let me go. Oh please somebody help me :(

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
My psych once told me that I didn't need a man to complete my life, but that it was nice to have one to share my life with and there's truth to that statement.
Sometimes we have to be on our own so that we can focus on resolving things within ourselves. Being alone isn't a death sentence and a lot of people end up finding out more about themselves for it.
But it hurts when someone we love no longer wants the same things we do in a relationship and they decide to move on, and that's something you need to do as well, cos you're the only one that can live your life.
You will get through this in time and if you're in therapy then take the opportunity to discuss this with your therapist so that they can guide you through the breakup.

He has his life to live too and if one party doesn't believe that the relationship can be reconciled then unfortunately you have to acknowledge that the relationship cannot be saved.
On the other hand, there may have been things that have happened that have caused him stress and to react the way he has. Maybe after you both sleep on it you might think differently and then maybe a small separation while you two sort out stuff might also be good for the two of you.
If you truly believe that the relationship is worth saving then you will find a way to do it, but you also have to look at it realistically in that it may be over and there is nothing you can do now but try to move forward as best as possible
