Ah, wow, I'm so sorry for you, this is awful news. Just when you got that new job and everything. I would be feeling just like your are, and the bedtime for me probably would have lasted longer.
I am glad he told you so that you can continue to move forward. Maybe you can look at this as being one step closer to what your life will look like once the dust settles. I've always considered things like this exactly that, a step forward. For those six months you were happy, comfortable and loving life. As opposed to what life was like before him.
Now you now what you want in a relationship. Someone like him, to sweep you off your feet and someone you can spoil. Don't disregard the wonderful times you've had together.You deserve to hold those good memories in your heart. Just because it didn't end well, (or because it ended) doesn't mean you can't be thankful for him and what you've learned.
((( hugs))) many of these hugs to you. I hate heartaches, worst thing ever.
