I need some advice on a breakup?

I just broke up with my boyfriend, and I feel so much better about everything, yet the way he reacted made me feel bad. He made it seem as though I didn't care at all about him. Don't get me wrong I do love him just not as a boyfriend more as a friend. I told him that I though it was best if we just be friends. I think its for the best, simply beacuse I was not happy in the relationship, and It's not fair for me to continue when my heart is just not in it. How long does it take to get over something like this? I'm happy, but I don't think he is. Can anyone give me some advice. I am a gay male by the way.

Love hurts. Sometimes it hurts so bad it's hard to breathe. You did the right thing for you. Don't be with someone you're not in love with. That's not fair for you or him. Yes, he's hurting now that's normal. In the end he will thank you. He'll find someone who really loves him. It's good that you did not lead him on.

how do u get over it? that depends how much you love him. if you truly love him it will take a while to get over him. opposite if u don't really love him

It will take him twice the length of a relationship if he stays single the whole time, shorter if he finds someone else.

You already seem to be over it, and that's good.
