First Break Up

Halley

So the week before Christmas my first love and first bf of over a year broke up with me and I'm still completely broken. We were so in love and I could tell we weren't in the honeymoon phase anymore over time but I figured that was normal. I was a sophomore and he had just graduated this year and had a job. He was my first kiss and everything and we were each others firsts in sex. We did it once at 10 months when we were both ready. We hadn't seen each other at all the past 3 weeks cause we were both busy people. He did it over phone and I didn't expect it at all. He didn't give me specific reasons as to y and I found out from a mutual friend that he thought I was controlling and didn't let him be himself (and by controlling he meant me not wanting him to go to parties without me and wanting to know where he was at). He just didn't understand that relationships don't come naturally easy all the time. They take work. He just wasn't mature enough to understand that. We decided to be friends and we would talk a little bit I could tell he didn't enjoy it that much after a while. So I gave him his space. I had asked him if there was any chance we could get back together and he said maybe then the other night I had asked for a second chance and told him how I could change and we could make it work. He shot me down. And now he doesn't talk to me. Now I know it's time to move on but Idk how to and I don't want hurt again. Deep down I still have hope he'll come back after a while when he realizes he wants me. Also I haven't been coping the best. I have cried so much and I lost 10 pounds in a week. Overall advice ladies? So sorry for the long post.
