So sorry to hear of your situation 🙁 I went through a similar situation recently. Although in my case it was not a romantic relationship, we were in contact for so much of 7 months, I thought we were best friends. To suddenly have nothing broke my heart. I did so much reading as well to try and settle my raging emotions and something I read mentioned that sometimes things like that happen to show you that there is some area of growth that you need to focus on in yourself. Perhaps you need to love yourself more. Might sound a little fluffy when you are actually in pain and wondering why this could happen to you, but when I took a step back and looked at the whole situation, I knew there were parts of my life that I needed to work on for myself.

I agree with everything Cocolumbine and Eris have said, it could be that the person you thought you loved did not actually exist. Because normal people do not do such cruel things to people they say they love and respect.

It might not even be worth getting closure in the form of saying goodbye to that person. I still tell myself that everyday I think of contacting him to “end” it properly. The closure that you seek may perhaps be in the realisation that you deserve someone else better in your life.

Sending hugs and healing thoughts…
