I can so relate to how youre feeling, I had a shock when I was Engaged to a school teacher and he left me for a student. He had just told me to start organising our Wedding, and behind my back there was another girl. I had similar feelings to you about being devastated and at 27, moved back home. I can look back now I am married to the right man, and know she did me a favour. I had only wasted 2 years with him, and really, he wasnt that perfect for me. I hear it is quite common for a relationship to be tested to breaking, I just think its a sure fire way to sort a weak one from a strong one. What helped me, lots of books on being positive, lots of walking and years of time. ah was it meant to be a quick fix. I wish I had have been kinder to myself back then, I sometimes would spend a lot of time thinking I wasnt good enough, and I kinda went around in circles with bad relationships to compound it. I eventually spent a lot of time being single and finding the great friends that fit that scene, but when a love leaves, it hurts no matter who with, the circumstances, or how long you have loved them. I wish there was a magic wand to help, but the magic can only come from you if you allow yourself time to heal, grow and have a great life. I have always said when sh... goes wrong "Oh, its my turn again" and tend to bounce back better now Im 47. I also didnt find my husband until I was 39, which surprised me I found him at all. One day I hope you can look back and say "Hey he wasnt right for me, I need to wait for Mr Right !" I mean only the best in hoping you sort it through (it did take me a long time to get over that broken engagement, may you not take as long as I. With kindness Bel
