Hi Pinkie,
Although it’s hard, you know when it isn’t working. You just lose that “x-factor” and don’t look at the person the same way.
It’s incredibly painful, but better you break it off now then continue and do it in the future. When you know it’s not going to work, you just know.
You are not the one to comfort him in this situation. You need to give him space to heal and recreate his own life.
I also think if he’s as wonderful as you say, then you need to give him credit for being able to work through this eventually. Time just takes time. Sometimes we hurt people alone the way unintentionally. Love is vulnerability and opening yourself up. Heartbreaks are a universal experiences, and one day you will both just look back on this as part of growing up.
