Finally found the man I thought I would marry, but the breakup came out of nowhere and I'm struggling to cope. What are the ways you've dealt with heartbreak in the past?

Time is unfortunately the best medicine. Just take it one day at a time. Don't stay in contact with them. Reach out to your friends and try to fill your time spending time with them.

Main thing is to keep yourself distracted. The ruminating will come, but right now you need to heal. I wasn't able to clearly reflect on my ex and our relationship for easily over a year or so later.
