Dear Steve,
I was recently in a relationship with a guy in the military. We'd been dating for a little over five years and started dating in high school. I was with him through everything, including when he went to basic training. We did long distance for about two and a half years. That was until he decided to break up with me out of nowhere. We made plans for me to move out of state to live with him, and he had recently bought me plane tickets to go see him. Suddenly one weekend, though, he started to get really distant. That was when I asked him if everything was fine and he told me he just wasn't happy. As confusing as it was for me, it was even worse because he had just told me two days prior that he wanted me to move there.
Its been a little over a month since he broke up with me, and I still can't get him out of my head. I still see things on social media that upset me and bring me back down. He is seeing another girl that he met where he lives and I can't help but think that he broke up with me because of her. He claims they were just friends but I can't believe that. I constantly think of him and how he is so much happier with her, but here I am dwelling in the past and still so upset over it. I don't know what to do. I just don't understand how you can do that to someone you claim to love. I cry often about it and feel like I'm all alone because the only person I want to talk to is him. I would just love some advice from you that could help me move on with my life. Thank you.
Signed,
Left Behind
