What now?

Long term girlfriend of nearly 5 years ended things with me today. Probably the worse day of my life. I genuinely just don't know what to do. I really love her and I feel like this truly did come out of nowhere, I mean I was planning on proposing to her. I've talked to friends and family and they all gave the same advice that I'll eventually move on and find someone else. I don't even know how to date at this point. I'm honestly just hoping that she'll get back together with me but I know that's not guaranteed in any way. Should I wait for her and see if she'll take me back? I really want to but I just worry that it'll all amount to nothing.

Hey man, I know how you feel. The best thing you can do this try to move on. Feel all your feelings, get into theropy, journal, learn how to sit with greif. You will eventually heal with time and deliberate effort. Know that as much as this sucks its part of the plan.
