More details please; background, age, etc.
I am 33 and she is 31. We have lived with each other for over 7 years.
MY inferiority complex isn't as good as YOURS
I'm so sorry to hear that hon!For us to help you gotta ask a question with a little more detail.Hope to see more soon and until then stay strong and good luck!
Sorry to hear about this. Ending a long term relationship can't be easy no matter the circumstances. There isn't a magic word I can say that'll make you feel better and it'll take time till you get over her. Was this a mutual move or unilateral?
My only advice for now is try to keep busy and think positive. I know things are looking down right now but try to look towards the future that awaits you.

You both lived with eachother for over 7 yrs. Why have you both just lived with eachother. Were you both not ready to take the next step towards marriage. I know some women can be fickle about things like that. Maybe her leaving is a way to un jar your emotions and to get you to realize that she is the one for you.
I know I went through something like this. I was with my boyfriend for 8 yrs and 2 children later. I was looking for the commitment and didn't recieve it. I told him I got tired of waiting and I left him. 1 month later he told me that he could not live with out me in his life and he purposed to me. But then again...I don't know if this is the situation that you are in.
It could be a number of things. Please give more detail so as I can help you more. Thank you
One of the reasons we didnt get married earlier is she feels she is fat. I dont care if she is a little big, but she wanted to look back on her wedding pictures as, "Wow, I looked good" and with her feeling she is fat, she never wanted to. We hit the 10 year mark and I decided I was tired of waiting. I want her to be mine so bad, I didn't care. I have to be with her. She told me she spent days crying about the decision before she told me so that shows me it wasnt an easy one. If it wasnt easy for her, that leads me to believe there is still love there. If it was an easy decision, then obviously there was nothing left. What other details can help you help me. I cant live without her. I feel likesomeone is holding my head down below water right now and I can't breathe. I love her so much it hurts.
In the days after a long-term relationship breaks up, the emotional pain is terrible. You are surely deeply in love with her, still. I'm not so sure that she shares the same feelings for you, even though she cried bitterly when she told you the news. Waiting ten years to get into adequate shape for nice wedding photographs is stretching things a bit. That's a long time to wait for something so important! Unless she is morbidly obese, she probably could have slimmed down by diet, joining a gym, etc, long ago. Her lack of success in this area might have been an indication that her heart was not in it.
