Suprisingly, I am doing better than I thought I would.
We're in a similar place (though I'm on the second time) and I was also shocked at how well I'm doing.
Two things have helped: 1- going through this once already, and 2- knowing it's HIM, not me
(Disclaimer with #2: that doesn't mean he doesn't have valid issues about the relationship)
The second one has been a relief, because it means I can't slip into my rejection/abandonment issues, which is what causes me the most pain.
Still, it hasn't been easy. I'm at the point where many of my support network seem to think I'm fine, and have stopped checking in. I'm not fine.
I also watched a movie that ended up much more "star crossed lovers" than I'd anticipated, and I had a sobbing session when it ended.

OoooooOOOOOoooooo. Thornton's a hot property, eh?
Take it slow. I know you're going to, but remember that you get yourself into trouble when you rush in, even if it's not a committed relationship (meaning you just develop a crush). Your "people picker" needs some work, and rushing means that you're picking someone out of habit, and your habits are no good for you.
