You need to go through a proper grief. Cry, scream - the whole package. When the acceptance kicks in, try to find the root cause of what happen and why.

How was the relationship? Did you feel like the first 6–12 months were perfect, but then you started drifting apart and having arguments every week or two? Have you ever felt like you needed to record a conversation you had with your partner?

Have you gone through a therapy with him?

Not OP, but in a somewhat similar boat. Please don't assume they broke up. For example, my partner died.

Solid advice wrt going through grief btw.

Just curious what you meant by that?
