<human>: We started dating in high school. We went to the same college, more through our own choice than for the other, but I don't really expect to convince anyone of that. I have never been in a LTR before, and I don't really know how to handle this. I always read that guys are okay right after the breakup, then meltdown in the future, where girls are the opposite. I don't want to do that. I want to know that I made the right decision and move on. 

Since I have never been with anyone, it wasn't fair for me to stay with this girl when I was always wondering what else there is. It wasn't so much that the grass is always greener, I literally had nothing to compare us to. She also was not the greatest person. I am very sure that this is what is best for us both.

So here is my issue. I don't want to let this affect me in a negative way for any longer than it has to. I want to be at peace with this and move on. I think I still love this girl, but we can't work as a relationship. So I want to handle my emotions properly, grow, and be over it. I have no idea how to do that. I've never had to do this before. I don't want to be sulking everytime I see her on facebook. I don't want to have the urge to call her when I'm drunk. I don't want to check my phone for texts form her that I know aren't there. I don't want to be reminded of her by every little thing. I'd like to not be thinking about her in as short of a time as possible. But I just don't know how.

How can I do this?

Can you condense the text into a few key points?
<bot>: I have never been fresh out of a LTR before, and I want to process these emotions the best way possible because I don't deserve to be hurt longer than is necessary.
