<human>: So I've posted a couple of times on here about how me and my bf, who I was also in a relationship with a couple years ago were having problems. And he finally broke up with me. 

He said we both have things we need to work on about ourselves and we also don't really have the time that our relationship needs to work out these problems. He suggested we remain friend and insisted he isn't going to be seeing anyone, but said he doesn't want to hold me back from living my life and if I want to date I should. I brought up that I'll wait for him if he waits for me. But he said he wouldn't ask that of me. I'm not really sure if he just doesn't want me. Or genuinely doesn't want to ask that of me. Really non of it matters because we aren't together. 

My real question is, why does this hurt so bad. I've been preparing myself for him to leave me for about a month now. And I knew it was going to happen. In fact I thought it was going to be worse. I thought he was just going to tell me he doesn't want me anymore. But this still hurts so much. 

My other concern is he is going to date someone. I know that if he starts seeing someone else I'm not going to be able to hadle it. I feel crushed. I just don't know what to do with myself at this point.

Condense the text into a few key points
