Hi 'zilla,
I really feel for you. It is the hardest thing in the world. I was crushed by a break up years ago. It felt like no one else could measure up. But actually I didn't give them a chance. Although the raw hurt of the break up got better with time, I also started to idolise my ex. I forgot the tensions in our relationship.
Be gentle with yourself. But don't put your life on hold. I say this as someone who really understands how breakups aren't just about the immediate period afterwards, but can genuinely take years to adjust and accept someone is no longer part of your life (even as friends).
I wish you all the best.
