Reply #27: It's natural at this point. [View All]

I sort of know where you're at, how let down you must be. Whether the breakup was respectful or not it's natural to feel betrayed when you've been that close to somebody for that long and they want to end things so seemingly randomly. In time you will remember what you admired and loved about her, and you will be able to let go of your resentment over what might have been and wasn't. At that point you'll be able to accept what happened and wish her the best, thus finding peace yourself. After five years, it's probable that your lives will connect in some way again, though perhaps not romantically.
