I just broke up with my boyfriend of years. Obviously I feel really sad, the word sad doesn't begin to describe how I feel. This is the first time I make a thread like this on a forum, out of all my friends only one of my friends knows everything about this breakup thing...

The only thing that could make me feel better would be getting approved, but I have such a complicated case.

For those who've had serious relationships, any advice on how to handle this breakup? I don't want to tell my mom or family they'll just worry too much.
