Break up after 2 and 1/2 years. Is there a light at the end of the tunnel?

I broke up with my boyfriend 2 weeks ago, after being together for 2 and a half years. After having to go long distance for a year, I was made up at being back together with him permanently. But I noticed he'd changed. He didn't want to spend time with me, instead go out with his friends every night and be tagged in lots of pics on fb of girls draping themselves over him. He also started treating me like crap. I put up with this for a little over a month when things came to a head.

 

We were outside college, and having had an argument the day before he started raising his voice to me, being really quite intimidating and aggressive in front of people! I was so shocked by it all, and humiliated that I just thought I couldn't do it anymore. So I broke up with him the next day. I havent heard from him since but i see him a lot around college. I just feel so heartbroken and devastated by it all. I miss him so much and still love him, but out of respect for myself i just had to end it. Now I feel like I've lost all my confidence, and I'm just so sad all the time.

 

I can tell my friends anf family are getting tired of my moping, but I really just can't feel happy right now

You did the right thing. It takes a lot of courage to actually do what you did, many men and women would just try to earn back the person's respect and fail miserably. You however knew what was best for yourself and decided to cut him off and the truth is if you didn't cut him off he would have done it to you eventually... You see he's not your boyfriend anymore, the college life has him now and that's all what's going to be on his mind for the next couple of years even if he does come back. When we go to college we learn many things while at the same time becoming more immature, work on yourself and grow as a person. Also never second guess yourself, you did what was best for yourself! Love is a business and you have to met your self-interest, like all things in life.
