<human>: My ex and I were best friends, we had amazing communication, we loved each other's company, and we just generally really cared about each other. However, there were plenty of issues - we got together very young, we moved far away from home and became very dependent on each other, I have anxiety and he had commitment issues. 

A couple of months ago he broke up with me, saying he needed some time to figure out who he was outside of a relationship. Fair. We decided to revisit our relationship in six months and see how we felt. Two months in, he asks me out for a drink, we talk, we miss each other, we get together and everything is wonderful. He's really affectionate and it's just fantastic to be with him. Then he breaks up with me again. This time I told him to never contact me again.

I know that we didn't give ourselves enough time. I know that he especially needs to become far more emotionally intelligent, and that I need to become more independent. I know that no-contact is the best boundary to set. But that guy was my life, my best friend and I thought he was my future. 

I have no idea how to recover. People here keep saying "it takes roughly half the length of the relationship" but fuck, I don't want to feel like this for four years. I miss being happy with him. I'm scared I'll never have that closeness with someone again. Added to this, we moved halfway up the country together to find work, and now I'm miles from friends and family. I have five months until I can realistically move home. I could really do with a physical hug and somebody to spend time with, and all I have are work colleagues.

I'm not really sure what I'm looking for here, I guess just some advice and reassurance. I know now that we don't belong together but I miss him and my heart hurts.

Provide a brief overview of the text.
<bot>: Sad but necessary end of long-term relationship. Feeling lonely and a bit lost. I could really use some advice and support.
