Thank you for all the replays. It was a cloudy morning, one of those when life shows the worst side. I am much better now. I accept that finding a new partner will be very hard (and will need some luck), but nevertheless i am still young and should use this period to have fun and do some good work. What will come will come.
Thanks for all the support, it helped me a lot to know that there are many other PhD students out there that have my problems.

in order to get my PhD i had to move to a different country. Unfortunately, my girlfriend did not want to leave my native country and stayed at home. We were in a relationship for 4 years, during my bachelor and master studies. After 3 months in PhD, she realized that she can't have a long term relationship, and broke up with me.

Now (i am 7 months in my phd) she has a boyfriend she is happy with, and i feel lonely. The phd is taking all my energy and weekends.
I am in a different country with different values, and it is hard to find a girl that share similar values and expectations in life. I start thinking that i did the wrong decision. I traded career for love, and I am not sure i will get any now. I am 25.

Can you please share an advice based on similar experience?
