How do you mend a broken heart?

Well a couple of days ago the man that I have been in love with for the past four years, just cane to me and said he is not in love with me anymore and that I need to leave the house or he is going to leave. I am devasted and I don't know where to begin to pick up the pieces. I gave this man four years, I chose him over friends and family and now I have no one to turn to. Yesterday he told me the reasin why he does not love me anymore is because I never have time for him and I have let myself go. My response is I am in college studying real hard to be a doctor. I do sometimes take my studies over him, but that does not mean I don't love him. What do I do? He already said he is not coming back, Where do I go from here?

Update:

When I say let myself go I mean gained like a few pounds and I no longer dress the way I used to.

Update 2:

Answering the question of what type of medicine I want to go into the answer is I want to be a Heart Surgeon.

    Focus on your schooling I know it's hard but when you neglected him for your school work you made a decision now stick with it, if you really need to get over him you need another man for that, but I don't recomend that until your done school since it really is much more important.

    P.S. Try and work things out with your family and friends and never chose a man over them again.

    There are two ways of looking at this, and as you intend taking up a profession which uses a great deal of psychology on people, for their benefit, as you would be aware, I think this answer could be the opposite to the one you would like to hear.

    First, are you letting yourself go? Are you taking some trouble to look nice for him? Guys love to go out with girls and ladies who look nice. It makes us feel really great that this person looks attractive for us. It also helps the relationship.

    Second, and this is really difficult, trust me, I know.

    Study, especially in the fields of medicine and associated subjects can be absolutely horrific. Many is the relationship that has gone to the dogs because of the study required to pass these difficult levels.

    Call him and sit with him. Tell him that once you qualify, you will be a doctor, and that life is no picnic either, in particular the first few years where you may be in a hospital internship.

    In fact, if he thinks it's difficult now, he should talk with an intern. It is social ostracism. When you do get a day off, it's exhaustion plus and you don't want to go anywhere.

    The rough side of it is that you need to be brutal and inform him of the facts. Tell him how you feel about him, but also tell him that the study regime is so demanding of your time that it takes a very special person to understand and you would like to think he would be able to do that.

    However, you must also respect his wish to have a life. I wish you the best, and may I just suggest something here? If you specialize, you will have a life. If you go into general practice, it's a totally different story. I wish you all the very best in your studies.

    Sorry bout your situation. You should have probably gotten your career first, then settled with someone. He needs to understand your situation. You are in school trying to do something with your life. It's not that you don't care for him anymore. Obviously he doesn't understand that. He probably feels lonely now, and is why he told you all this. You do what you have to do. I think your education is most important at this point. He already said he didn't love you anymore and that he wasn't coming back. I don't think you'd want to lose your career over a man. I know you love him, but he doesn't love you. I wish you the best. Listen to your heart.

    thats really sad, i think a lot of relationships end that way. i hope you feel better. but i think you need to move on and time will heal your heart. everything happens for a reason, and maybe he wasnt the man for you and a better man will come along. dont let it interfere in your studies though, because then you will be left with nothing. and try to exercise, it will keep you healthy and feeling great.

    Sounds like that ship has sailed. Get out, finish school, become a doctor, and meet any number of about a billion other men out there. Pining after one person is a colossal waste of time. It hurts I know, but time heals everything.

    He sounds selfish and shallow. You are better off without him. Keep putting your studies first. You have to prepare for your future and a good man would understand that.

    First off..good for you...(med school)

    the answer is harsh..but evident...

    if he CANT find the time to be patient and supportive while you better your career....then forget him.. you want a better man.

    and how do you mend? out of site, out of mind..cut off all contact...

    focus on you..and law of attraction will bring you a better more loving supportive man...

    talking from experience here!

    good luck

    Why are you so sad ? Take it easy, we all go through difficult times but we shouldn't get disheartened. Tell that stupid that he's caring towards you and need him to be more understanding.

    If talking among yourselfs wont help, then try to consult a counselor and see if you can bring your relationship back to life.
