This is the worst heartbreak I've ever experienced

My boyfriend and I were together for a little over a year when he broke up with me last week. It's been ten days and I'm absolutely devastated.

This man had every single thing (and more) I've ever wanted in a partner. I told so many friends about that during our relationship - that he had all of these qualities; that I couldn't believe he existed; that I couldn't believe he wanted to be with me. Things weren't "perfect" (I wasn't looking for perfect) but they were perfect for me. He was perfect for me, flaws and all.

The way we met, the things we had in common, the connection that we both felt immediately - this all felt too lined up not to be. It really did feel like we were meant to be. He's the man of my dreams and I really believe that he's the love of my life, even if things ended.

I am so confused by this breakup. None of it makes any sense to me. No matter how many times he explained it, it didn't make sense. How do you love someone, want to be with someone, maintain throughout the relationship and into the breakup that they're everything you've ever looked for in a person, tell them that they're the best girlfriend you've ever had and that you know you're ending the relationship at its peak, and STILL go through with the breakup?

This is one of the worst pains I've ever felt in my life and I don't know how to come back from this. I really am trying, but life feels so empty without him.

I miss you so much.
