end of my LDR

I'm so sorry.  I hope it will all make sense and get easier soon. 

I'm so sorry to hear of this...  It sounds as if you have a great head on your shoulders.  The grief will take time, especially with the promise he made to your father.  That's tough...  You will be alright in time. 

Many warm thoughts coming your way!

So sorry to hear this and I cannot imagine your grief about all this. Go get a massage or spa treatment if you can with a girlfriend, it might make you feel better even if brief.

((hugs))I am so sorry to hear this. Make sure you do things to look after you and that you allow yourself any space you need but also drawing on the support of family and friends.

Aww, I am really sorry to hear this. A broken heart hurts pretty bad but as others have said, time will heal it. Hugs!

I concur on the spa/massage idea!! Hang in there!!

Well that just sucks! 

I am so sorry to hear this. I also agree with the spa treatment with a friend at least for a bit you wont be thinking about it.

(((((hugs)))))  I am so incredibly sorry!  Breaking up in an ldr is awful, I remember one of my exes did a similar thing to me.  I hope you will stay here and let us know how you get on though. 

Meka, I'm so sorry to hear this and am sending you big hugs..

Meka,

So sorry to hear and know how you must feel.  After one breakup I spent the night crying on my kitchen floor while attempting to speak to my mom on the phone. I literally felt like my heart was breaking.

It takes time, but things will get better.  Take time to be good to yourself and if you just want to spend a week on the sofa with two new men (Ben and Jerry) watching dvd's go for it!

Lots of hugs {{{{{{{{  }}}}}}}}}

Gosh, Meka...    I'm so very sorry to hear about this.  *hugs*

Thank you all so very much.  Your kind words and support are so dear to me.  Another reason I have loved being a part of this community.  You are all priceless!
I'll definitely stick around the site, I'll miss you all too much!!!
Since this has be going on a few weeks now, I have good days and bad days.  This weekend was a bad weekend.  Today is better!

Thank you all for your suggestions, but I'm an expert on spoiling one's self! A spa day would be nice, but I already tend to visit them too much as it is!    Luckily I'm in the middle of marathon training, so that gets me out of bed each morning...although I would love to sit on the sofa and eat some Ben & Jerry's!

Suzanne THANK YOU!  And trust me I know it's not me!    That thought hasn't even entered my head.  I was nothing but supportive and patient in this relationship.  The only thing I am angry about is that I passed on some great career opportunities.  These were things he and I discussed and agreed it didn't make sense for me to relocate in the US only to move over to the UK shortly after.

As for the support of my friends and family - HUMPH!  They all couldn't be more pleased this is over.  My mother "THANK GOD, now I don't have to get on a plane for an 8 hour flight!"  or the best was on the night I had my break-down..."GET OVER IT!"  My very best friend..."I knew this was doomed from the start!"  Talk about kicking me when I'm down!  So now I don't say anything to anyone.  If anyone asks me, I say I don't want to talk about it. 

I made a conscious effort to adopt England as my home on every visit.  I fell in love with the country and was looking forward to making it my home.  Plus I was really looking forward to meeting up with some of you!!!  Which I still can!  I'm only 20 min. from NYC and I'm sure I'll be visiting London again at some point.  The marathon is on my "To Do" list.
Thanks again so very much!
xoxo

OMG... what is wrong with these people?!

Maybe you will be able to find a new "cheering section" out of all this? I'm sorry to hear that these people are dragging you down while you're down. That doesn't sound like what friends are for to me. Look after yourself.
