Boyfriend [28M] and I [26F] have been together for 5 years and lived together for almost 4. We are happy together but today, after talking about the next steps for months, we decided to break up.
I want to have children and get married soon in the near future and he doesn't know whether he will ever want that. He says he can't think of doing that with anybody else other than me but he doesn't know if he has it in him and anyways it's not in his plans for the next 5-10 years. Our sexual compatibility is less than spectacular, which is frustrating for both of us. Plus, we cannot agree on where we want to live in the next few years.
These are all valid reasons and we both know it's for the best. But he's the most important person in my life and the thought of not having him around anymore just destroys me. And I feel like I might be regretting it one day because it's been a great relationship and we just love each other so much. I am afraid that I will just settle with somebody else because marriage and children are in my plans, but I will never be as happy as with him. I've cried all day I can't sleep I can't eat I can't function. How do I deal with this deep feeling of loss and despair?
TL; DR ex and I broke up for good reasons but I'm heartbroken and unable to cope
