Don't blame yourself for the breakup, sounds like you were as good of a man as you could be for her. Sometimes people just grow apart, their priorities or what they want out of life change, etc. Sometimes people are just fickle and get hit with a major case of "grass is greener.." syndrome from time to time. It happens, you know? The only thing you can really do is take it in stride, take whatever positives you can from the situation and don't let yourself spiral in the coming months.

Now is a good time to dive into whatever hobbies you've had sitting on the back burner recently. Take some time to work on yourself, improve whatever areas of your life you feel are lacking. Try to keep yourself busy. Hang out with friends and family, don't stay cooped up inside alone if you can help it. It's going to hurt like hell for a while, but it'll get easier with time. I don't necessarily suggest going on the rebound right away, but when you do find a girl you're interested in and start hitting it off with her, it definitely makes getting over any past heartache a good deal faster.

Oh yeah, this last one depends on you as a person mostly but I'd avoid your ex at all costs. They always want to try being friends or whatever, but it's not really healthy for the guy who is usually the "loser" of the breakup. I'd especially be wary when you get blindsided by it (IE: relationship seemed all good until very recently). If you make the mistake of hitting up her social media accounts you'll likely be seeing shit you wish you didn't, so just try to rip off this bandaid as quickly and cleanly as you can and move onto the next stage of your life.
