Breakup

I just broke up mutually with my boyfriend but that doesn't make it any easier. I still really like him but we both decided that we would be better off as friends. He will be leaving soon to his first duty station soon, which is far away from mine. (Me: Hawaii Him:Kentucky) The time difference and always being busy would be hard for us so we just broke it off. This is the first relationship I have been in. If you have any advice on how to deal with a breakup I will gladly take it. Thank you!
