“My boyfriend of almost two years broke up with me out of the blue. We’d been having an off week, but even he admits it was on a whim. I’m not sure what to do now. I miss him terribly, and I’m also incredibly angry with him. How could he do this to me? When I try to be emotionally mature, I tell myself he didn’t do anything to me. He did something for him. He doesn’t owe me his time or care or affection.

But now I feel hopelessly lonely. I live alone, and he was my main source of daily human contact. I bounce wildly between blaming and hating him, and blaming and hating myself. How can I make peace with this new era of my life?”
