Thanks, definitely a good read. I feel the pain for OP, my almost 5 year relationship ended just 5 days to xmas.
Currently been doing the 3 of the 5 post phases and its crap how its all over and having to pick up all the pieces. Also having dozens of mutual friends, mutual interests etc still not sure how to deal with that.

Yeahh.. Not sure how to tell my Sister that her bestfreind and bridesmaid in a month just ditched me.
I feel your pain, my wife left just before Xmas and to be honest I was a serious douche about it. I've been through pretty much all the stages in the thread Mag linked.
Don't dwell on the things you've given up for her, live for you and concentrate on your well being. The best thing I did was stop stewing.

You just tell her. It's no big deal. Or don't. Her best friend will do that for you anyway.

Delete facebook, lawyer up, hit the gym.
Actually I won't take your word for it. I've been there and if you keep believing this then you're just lying to yourself to save you a bit of pain.
That's not just me being harsh, that's me going through a similar experience when I wasn't much older than you are now.
My advice, if you can afford the house by yourself, shove all her stuff in black bags by the front door and send her a text telling her when she can collect it and leave her key. Tell her you want to know when she's coming so that you can be out of the house (but have a mate there so she doesn't take **** that isn't hers) Give her a week to collect or it's charity shopped.
Sounds harsh? Because it is but that's how you should deal with it.

"Hi sis, things didn't work out between me and [x]."
Given that she leaves you at or near the end of Uni you can probably assume your relationship has been over for some time and she just didn't tell you because it was more convenient not to. Girls don't play the love game fair. There is no "I know her" if she's played you like that.
Ah the sweet confusion of youth, I tell you a story about a couple where a guy was giving it all to the girl, he loved her even despite her not-so-nice personality. In time she felt like she didn't love him, she felt like she was with him out of fear...fear to move on and be something else. The confusion of youth made her break up with him. Oh he tried to talk, to understand what is happening but to no avail, basket case of emotions clouding her judgement.
5 years have passed since, they're friends. He moved on...she not so much. Only 5 years did she admit that it was a huge mistake...you see she had to make the mistake to realize how good her life was before. There's a story for you. Even though it's obvious she was making a mistake was the anything the boy could do but to move on? Should he have pressured her?...that doesn't seem right, after all that wouldn't have taught her the lesson.
Perhaps your story is different and all this is not applicable but as I say, time goes on, things change only thing for you left to do is to move on.

My previous girlfriend was like this, she lived with me for almost 2 years rent free while we were both at uni and I was working full time. She had a Job in a cafe but decided she didn't like it. I basically ended up supporting her. Then she did this to me. I thought to myself "sod her" and set about smashing the pasties of a number of fit female work colleagues, one of which turned out to be an amazing girl who I have been with for over 18 months now and we split everything down the middle! It's a great feeling wanting to pay for something for her rather than having to. Funny thing was the ex came back after the summer expecting me to have been pining over her and seemed pretty put out that I'd moved on.
It sucks ass, but you're 22. Like many normal people you may well do this relationship thing all over again, with 2 or three more girls before you finally find one to settle down with.
You could always enjoy being your own man for a while, and now's the time to do it. You won't get these next few years back.. enjoy em! I'm very happily married man in my 30s now, but I regret all the time I put into relationships before I was 27, because most people completely change between their 20s and 30s.

Ask her to be completely honest, not in a needy way, but in a need-to-know way, what about you,the relationship went wrong for her? Then either use that to try and patch things up or to improve yourself as a person and move on, good luck mate.
