Just broke up with my boyfriend of 3 years, and I feel awful about it.

[Removed]<br>My boyfriend and I were good friends for 2 years before we started going out. We even went on a few dates during this time, and I always found him really awkward - we would always accidentally hug with the wrong arms. He was in my friend group, so I got to know him more after these dates, and I saw how good of a friend and person he was. He was always there for everybody, he always helped out, and he always had everyone’s backs. I saw these good traits, and was able to get over his awkwardness. We started going out again, and it was great. A few months later, he told me that he loved me, and he couldn’t imagine his life without me. I felt the same way, and that’s why I said yes when he asked me to be his girlfriend. That was three years ago. Three years of the best time of my life. Three years of a perfect relationship where nothing went wrong. <br><br>Last month, however, he told me that he was beginning to feel a little different. He said he wasn’t sure of what it was, but he didn’t feel the same way as he used to. I tried to make things go back to normal, and in doing so, I alienated him even more. He acted normal, but I could see it in his eyes - he didn’t love me anymore. Today, he told me that he was done, and he didn’t want to be my boyfriend anymore. I cried, I pleaded, and I asked if there was anything that I could do, but he said no. He said I did nothing wrong. That he just didn’t love me like he used to anymore. <br><br>I never felt the way that I feel for him for anyone else, and I don’t see myself feeling this way for anyone else. I feel empty, and I don’t know what I am going to do. I know that I have to live with this, but it sucks.
