How can I rcover from an breakup with someone who i bonded IN A DEEP WAY?

its been 3 months since me and my boyfriend have been separated. The problem was the fact that he was really controlling. He would always pick fights over everything, such as why did you went for coffee with ur gfs, or why do you spend every 2nd or 3rd day with me and NOT everyday (considering the fact that I had 17 credits at that time). He did bragged about how in his last relationship, his ex slept over so many times, and lived with him. I could not sleep over at his house because I have strict persian family who wont allow me to do that, BUT i spend EVERY SINGLE minute i had to be with him, considering that I had cut off all my friend off my life for him. Aside from all this, the reason that i really did got involved with him was due to the fact that he loved me ALOT, i know love is not about controlling someone, but he did do really nice things for me as well. When we were good things were REALLY GOOD, and when we were bad...omg things were BAD. i cried so much in those last 3 monthHow can I rcover from an breakup with someone who i bonded IN A DEEP WAY?
you need a lot of time away from him. to clear your head. when it's okay for you to talk to him without feeling upset, you should tell him how you feel, that you don't like being controlled. i mean, sure, he did do some nice things for you. but would you want to go through all that again? now that you're ';free';, you should spend more time with your friends and catch up on the things you missed. you'll find someone who appreciates the fact that you have a life and that you'll let him live his.
