Been over a week since split and NC, but it's getting tougher to not contact her

Last Wednesday my girlfriend of 7 months ended things with me. Over the last 2/3 months of the relationship we had a few arguments and I think it just got a bit too much for her. But when we weren't arguing, we were pretty much perfect for each other. We went out most days, had a laugh all the time, were very close and we really were in love with each other. She had previously been engaged but told me she had never felt the same about anybody else, that she felt for me. She has depression and health issues and I was always there for her, being a shoulder to cry on and an ear to listen. We even went on holidasy for a week for valentines the week before she ended it. She said I'm not what she is looking for in somebody to settle down with and that she would rather just be ''very special, close friends''. I was heartbroken. She is my first ever girlfriend (We are both 20). She said she still loves me, but not in a relationship/romantic way. She loves me as a person and said that there is not a bad bone in my body and that I have never hurt her, it's just she doesn't see herself with me. She won't take me back as she said she'd just be leading me on and it wouldn't be fair. I still love her, so much, and would give my right arm to be back with her but I know that can't happen. I have cut off all contact (I told her I would) but everyday I am so close to speaking to her. I'd love to have her in my life, but if we were just friends, it'd be torture. I'd love to be able to be close friends in the future though. She said she wants us to be how close we were for the 2 months I knew her before we got together. I can't stop thinking about her. Thinking of all the good times we had. She is the perfect one in my mind. I love her, everything I do remind me of her, everywhere I go I have memories of her. I'm a football (soccer for you Americans!!) fan, and on Saturday I'm going to an away game to the City we spent valentines day! It'll be horrible. I'm not coping at all, and would die to get back to how we were 3/4 months ago, it was so perfect. But I know we will never be together again. What do I do? I'm really not coping very well at all

Hello mate. First and foremost, congrats on being a week no contact. This is possibly one of the hardest things you will have to do in life. But its a must. I like the fact she has been straight and honest with you. Its very tough, and i know the last thing you want to hear is 'move on' i wont tell you that.. You just got to try and remember who and what your about, love yourself. Where were you before you met her? You certainly weren't down and depressed where you? Yo, you are 20 man, lol, YOOOUUUNNNGGGGEEEEEEEEEE. I was there, where you are 7 years ago at 20. I know how you feel. But, seriously, sounds like you may have exhausted her with trying to win her back. So, now, you MUST keep up no contact. You never know what may lye ahead in the future. But for now. Treat and look after yourself. just post here instead m8
