I'm not sure Henry Chinaski is the best role model when it comes to love(!)
Truth is, there's going to be pain - probably far more at your end than hers. You're going to cry (no shame at all.) You're going to be be depressed. Your sex drive will go out of the window. Nothing will mean anything for weeks. Your favourite food tastes like nothing. You'll cry more, lots more (no shame at all.) You'll drink more. Cry more. Feel nothing for aaaaages more, a bit longer.
But it will lessen. And you'll probably feel free-er than you've ever felt.
The key is: don't hate her for her decision. It's her truth, and it is the truth. If it was your truth, the same would apply. The whole won't work without half of it.
Hate gets you nowhere, most times.
Keep your chin up, man.
