hi reddit, i got broken up with by my boyfriend of a year and a half last night. well, it was more of a mutual agreement... but regardless, it feels as if my best friend just died. i have no motivation to finish my schoolwork, and i didn't even go to work today bc my face was too puffy from crying all night.

we still love each other so much, but we're both too emotionally unstable to care for anyone but ourselves. i think about how unfortunate it is -- we were both so happy and healthy pre-pandemic -- and i just start sobbing. i've been broken up with before, but i don't remember how i got through it. i just remember how much it hurt, and though this one doesn't hurt as \*much\*, it still hurts like a fucking bitch. so, how do i get through this? all i want to do is text him and tell him i love him...
