I am sorry that you are feeling down right now..Many hugs to you. Keep your chin up
Oh hon, I'm so sorry! Believe me, I think cats and kittens can heal the soul. TCS is here for you if you need to talk. Sending many
your way.
I am sorry that you are having a hard time at the moment. Even if you know it is the right thing to do, splitting up with a long term partner is so hard and heartwrenching - you know it is for the best but your life is turned upside down right now. I have been through it myself - before I met my husband I lived with someone for 11 years and it does change your life when that is over and is so stressful even though you know that it would be no good to carry on in that relationship.
I wish you all the best - and loads of strength to get through all the changes in your life.
ETA: I didn't say it in my original post, but that ex is now my bestest mate. We have a great friendship and we were always far better as friends than as partners. It took some time after our split to get back to being friends, but with a bit of time it did happen.

Oh, gosh, I'm sorry you're in such a bad place right now.
I did notice that your posts were veering from clever and cool to deep and emotional... which makes perfect sense for how you're feeling. It's so brave of you to come out here on the site and try to be helpful to others when you yourself are down! I admire you for that.
My best friend in the world is a man I lived with for four years. We always adored each other, but at some point, we realized it just wasn't meant to be a romance, so we parted in the most amicable of ways. I helped him move into a new place, working late into the night... and when I came home and saw the imprints in the carpet where all his things had been, I sat down on the floor and sobbed.
I knew it was the right thing for both of us, and that we'd both be happier in the long run... but the actual moment of the ripping asunder is just going to hurt, no way around it, y'know? It just does. So I understand what you're feeling.
Oh, I wish I had some magic words for you! But I think there's nothing to do but feel this way until you can stop feeling this way. That won't be long, though -- even tomorrow morning, you'll feel a little better than today, and better still the morning after that.
And what you're doing will help! By staying in touch with other people, even strangers -- maybe especially strangers -- you keep creating new places for your emotions to pour out, rather than letting them all stay concentrated on your own situation.
You'll get through this. Just keep on keepin' on.

I completely understand where you're coming from--with the long term bf split and wanting it but not wanting it. I just broke up with mine in January, but am still living with him (long story, posted a while ago, don't want to go into again). If you even need to talk, PM me. I really don't mind and sometimes it's good to talk to someone you don't really know.
