Okay it's been a tough few days and I don't have the energy to reply to every response but it really helped reading what you all had to say and I really appreciate you all.
We talked about it the past three days and it was an evolving discussion every day. We had talks about communication and what was happening on the weekend and at first it felt like we were going in circles not understanding each other but eventually we broke through to finding resolution.
Some extra context is that she's actually an international student and she's moving back to her home country very soon. We always knew it was going to be tough and we knew it was approaching but I think it's really been stressing both of us out that it really is happening and we can't be in denial anymore.
We've known it was going to end from the beginning but because it's been the healthiest relationship both of us have been in, I don't think we expected it to end this way at all. We both expected we'd be breaking up when she was leaving rather than a few weeks out but after our many talks we've agreed that breaking up now is the right option even if it really sucks. I've talked to friends about it and I will definitely talk about it with my therapist in our next session but so far it's been the healthiest breakup I've had and I'm looking to the future much more positively and hope we can be good friends again one day.
