Well, Chuff said it best and you really must listen to his advice for your own sake.
Sorry Chuff, I would rate you but had to spread the rep.

This sounds like it was initially a rebound and no doubt he took full advantage of your confusion and vulnerability.
I am sorry to say this but he did not love you. I am willing to place a high bet on that.
He has
USER plastered all over him, he treated you like dirt as Chuff points out and wanted you for only one thing...
He was not the man you thought he was and you were definitely blinded here and I would not be surprised if he knew this perfectly well. I know it does not seem like it now, but as Chuff says, in time, perhaps 6-8 months (good timescale) you will begin to see that what advice you are getting here all makes sense.
It is all too easy to see all the good things after a break-up when you are the one left behind and you don't focus on all the bad things as you should do. Quite often, the bad outweighs the good and the relationship is broken because of this very fact.
You need to learn to value yourself much more than this, you are worth more and are most likely too good for HIM. So, cut him out of your life, thoughts, take some time out to focus on you, and you alone.
Why waste your time on this user? let him reap what he sows...
Those who live by the sword, shall die by the sword (as the saying goes) and maybe that in itself can give you some kind of comfort. Consider yourself lucky to be free of him forever so that you can build a life without him and eventually find a good man who will value you for who you are and for all your good qualities.
I know its not easy, you are hurting bad, I can tell and I know the pain.. I am also feeling pain, albeit not under the exact circumstances as yours but I do relate to the feelings that you are going through.. One piece of comfort I can give you is that it WILL get better in time and it really is a matter of time. The pain you are feeling won't go away immediately, there are no on/off switches here. You can make it better and improve the chances that you will heal more quick by focusing on other areas of your life.. Good advice I usually give is the following and it has worked for the most part for me:
1.) Maintain NO CONTACT -- NO LETTERS, E-MAILS, PHONE CALLS, TEXTS, NOTHING! HE WON'T REPLY ANYWAY
2.) Keep yourself busy, go to the gym, take up an old hobby, spend time with friends and relatives, whatever.. Try to avoid alcohol where possible (it won't help)
3.)Try not to dwell on the past too much, focus on what you can do for yourself to improve you, as a person.
I am not suggesting that this will mean that you will not feel pain but it will help the healing process. I am 3.5 months post break-up with my ex of 3 years and I can tell you, hand on heart, I still hurt inside, but not as much as I did 2 months ago.
I must warn you also that there will be many ups and downs and this is to be expected during your healing process.. I know I said he was a user and you are fortunate to be free of him but at the same time, it cannot be ignored that you have feelings for him and therefore you are still going to ride this emotional roller coaster regardless of this.
If you need to talk and feel more comfortable doing it here, then feel free to post any questions. There is a wide range of great people on here with a variety of experience that can really help and support you. Trust Me on this..
It will get better and I wish you well in your journey..
