<human>: Can you condense the text into three sentences or less?

We were best friends in high school and started dating in college, so we've known each other for nearly a decade. About two weeks ago she talked to me and said that she was unhappy and had been for a long time. Long story short, we're going on seperate ways. There was no cheating, no violence, nothing crazy. 

Part of the seperation is that she wasn't sure how deep of a relationship she ever really wanted. She's always been a pretty independent person her whole life, not that she hates me but I think she kind of went along with the relationship cause it worked and everybody we knew always commented on how we were the best couple, etc. On my end I kind of knew that was how she felt but dug my head in the sad and kept moving forward. The crappy thing is I still feel the same, I've always loved her, but I'm not gonna force somebody into something they don't want.

I just really don't know what to do now. I've never really had to wander through any kind of dating scene. Honestly I don't want to even think about that, but if I don't then I start thinking about my ex and start feeling like crap.
<bot>: gf of 8 years and I are seperating. No hate, pretty amicable. I was only ever single in high school and 1 year of college. Don't have the slightest clue what to do now.
