I'm gonna go into details. As I need advice on how to go about this. I'm honestly so heartbroken right now. This morning my partner of just over 1 year. Broke up with me. We were a long distance couple...both living in Australia. I live in Brisbane and he lives in Sydney. He's 25 and I'm 24.

He travelled over last week and we spent time together for that one week. It was the best week of our lives, he enjoyed his time here and we spent New Years together. Fast forward to this morning, he called up saying "We need to talk". I've heard those words before but never in real life. So I knew he was being serious.

Prior to this serious talk, I had brought up a conversation 6 months ago regarding my father's health (unwell) and how I couldn't move to his state. He understood but sad that I wasn't able to move to him at the time.

Anyways, going back to the conversation we had this morning. He goes on to tell me that he had asked his mom about the thought of him moving to my state with her and his mom said that she's so use to the lifestyle in Sydney that she wouldn't even consider moving to Brisbane. Then he goes on to say, "I can't leave my mom by herself". I suggested that we wait for her to come around about the idea but he just said, "she will never change her mind". Keep in mind, I never said to leave the mom there. I wanted him to bring her with him when he was eventually planning to move. So we can look after her as well. He continues to say, "I don't think I can continue with this anymore. Long distance is getting harder. My libido is higher than yours, you don't understand". Clearly means, he needs pussy. I went on to say that we could work something out, like prioritise something and he says no, I stay here and he stays there. This man was telling me the whole of last year that I was his best friend and he doesn't have anyone to confide in and that he loves me so much and now what!! A few times we nearly gave up on our relationship but he always said "if you love someone, you'll fight for them". Now he just gave up on our relationship based on what he's Mom said.

Girls, my heart is breaking into pieces. This man said that he truely did love me and that he didn't want to cheat on me, which is why he's also breaking up with me. Literally last week, he was on his knees asking me to marry him and now he just broke up with me. What the fuck! What kind of fucked up person does this?! I'm so angry, upset and heartbroken. I got played for over 1 year and I travelled to see him first before he even travelled to come and see me.

He went on to say, that he thinks he'll regret he's decision and it will take him 2 years to get over me. He said, if he was to ever contact me and ask to come back that I should never take him back. I cried on call because I was so sad but I told him that I respect his decision and I'll let him go. He wanted to stay friends but I told him no! I'm not ok with that at all. I mean, why would you stay friends with someone who broke your heart SMH. Anyways, I could see he was about to cry about us breaking up, so I said my goodbye and wished him well. He said he couldn't continue the video call because looking at me was making him sad.....so I said "goodbye, take care" and ended the call.

30 mins after we hung up. He texted me saying that he told his mom that we broke up and the reason why (the fact that she didn't want to move here with him and that long distance was getting harder for him). Apparently, she agreed and told him that I should find someone here. How could she be so cold when she knew we loved each other. I feel like my whole world is shattering. I don't blame him, it feels like the mom never wanted us to be together. Am I overthinking this? Prior to us being together, his family was looking for a wife for him. I'm a Pacific Islander and he's Arab. I think the mom never wanted us to be together. Also, keep in mind that he met my dad when he was here....I don't just bring anyone to my dad and I ended up introducing my dad to him. I hate myself for that, now I'll have to tell my whole family in a week.

I'm honestly feeling like complete shit, I need advice on how to move on from this?! Help me!!💔
