This possibly sounds to you as though I am being insensitive to your feelings (this is not my intention), but if this person (who henceforth I will simply refer to as X) has has made the conscious decision to leave you and miss out on all the good things which they would have had in their life if they had instead stayed with you, then there is very little if anything you can do to change their mind.
Indeed at this point in time I believe that any attempt to win X back would only be more likely to have the complete opposite effect.
You are understandably feeling lonely, hurt and miserable at the moment, wondering if or when someone else is going to love you.
You are currently in the process of grieving for the death of a relationship, which once held out so much hope and promise to you.
You are as a consequence going through much the same stages of the grieving process, which other people experience when they have lost a loved one to physical death.
It is apparently not bothering X in any way that you are feeling like this, if indeed X even still cares for and about you (which I am unable to directly determine from my end).
X may eventually realise probably too late what has been lost of great value by losing you, but are you now going to continue to give X this power over you to stop you from having someone else who is able and willing to give you the deep and lasting type of love and respect which you so richly deserve?
An incredible power over you to ruin the rest of your love life, which X clearly does not deserve to be given?
So the important question for you is whether (easier said than done) you will eventually choose to give X the power over you to determine your future and force you to indefinitely put the rest of you life on hold, or on the other hand whether you will use these next six months to grieve and calm down, so that your increased self confidence and self respect for not having continued to allow X to do this to you in your own mind, once more makes you increasingly attractive and available to members of the opposite sex.
It is your decision alone to make.
All which I can practically do is to support whatever your decision turns out to be.
But I know which of the two options on offer I would choose, if I was you and 18 again.
Love, Light and Healing,
EoT
