Heartbreak when it’s not your choice: How do I move on?

Hi everyone,
I’m 21F, and I recently went through a breakup with someone I deeply care about (M, 24). We were together for about five months, and it felt like we were really compatible. We never argued, had so much fun together, and I truly loved his company. I genuinely felt so loved for the first time. Just amazing chemistry.

Few days ago, he called me to tell me that, despite trying, his family isn’t supportive of us being together due to cultural differences. He has tried multiple times before this too. He said he didn’t want me to wait for something that might never work out. It felt like my heart was shattering in real time.

Now, I’m struggling to process everything. I loved this person deeply, and the thought of moving on feels impossible right now.

Have any of you been through something similar? How do you cope with a breakup when the reason isn’t lack of love but circumstances outside your control? I know time will heal, but it’s so painful right now.
