So after being in a relationship with someone for 15 years, and only breaking up a week ago - trying for a baby two weeks ago, my ex partner just told me he loves me like a friend....

There's a 21 year old that hes pursuing, that was on the scene before our breakup and he is really into her. But he's just told me, he only loves me like a friend.

How the fuck is that possible, in 2 weeks of seeing someone.

I am absolutely heartbroken & completely gobsmacked 😭😭

Update **

So after having a really long conversation with my ex last night, I still feel broken and unbelievably distraught - but at the same time it helped.

He seems head over heels for this new girl, claims no one understands how well they have got on. They've not even gone on a date yet & they're discussing having a future, where they go on holidays & possibly move in together. He says they have just clicked and I know he wasnt cheating on me physically, he allowed himself to get emotionally attached through working with her & our relationship struggles + her interest in him, made him want to end things with me.

We've known each other 15 years and I know him better than I know myself, but he seems to think they have this strong connection and they got on the same as we do.

I've no idea how I can cope with this, the pain is unbearable. But I know there is nothing I can say or do, that will make him want me or consider calling things off with this girl. Its such an upsetting reality, but he thinks this girl is the best thing he's ever had. We had our troubles, but I dedicated 15 years of my life to him and he's over me and onto a new girl like I meant nothing.

I do question his love for me, but after so long I don't want to believe it was all fake and I was used for convenience - even though that's how I feel 😓😥

I really do love him & I have to believe he loves me, I think our struggles became too much & she was there at the right time, but I can't understand how he can be feeling any pain yet move on so quickly. My heart is in tatters and it just hurts 💔
