And I just found out that she broke up with me because she wanted to date another guy! This really hurts and is so painful, I want to know what I can do to deal with this pain right now?

 Try to remember that her actions do not represent anyone but herself. I hope that in time you can start fresh in a new relationship and realize that what the last girl did has no bearing on what the new one will do. Again try to move on and keep in mind that every girl out there is a fresh chance at love.

I noticed when she started spending more time with the other guy and I stop her because I didn't want to intrude into her life. I'm even more worried about the long term repercussions of this, it makes me not want to trust people anymore.

I recently went through a rough and drawn out break up, the best thing was to talk to my friends and keep them around me, and my family as well. I got over the relationship crazy fast due to the fact that i had a lot of great people around me and that I had friends that I could just vent to. You'd be surprised how many people will let you just vent and give you advice, and even if you don't take the advice, its nice to be able to talk to someone and just have them tell you what they think. Pick up a new hobby even! Do things that you never did before cause of your girlfriend, go places you've never been before. Start a new chapter in your life.

The best thing you can do is keep yourself occupied and try not to think of her. This may involve removing things that remind you of her and stay away from sad songs. Also spend as much time with friends as you can, that really helped me when ever I got dumped. Once you've moved on a bit you can focus on all the other girls out there and that should really help when you see all of your options now.

Suggest doing something with them that I haven't done in a long time; paintballing, bowling, going to the arcade, golf(if that's your thing). There's many ways to alleviate the strain of losing someone close. Always remember, the sooner you do something that makes you laugh, the sooner you can see why being sad and down is something that life was never meant for.
