Sorry to hear this, it's rough when you are in the thick of it but I've had a few friends go though this 10+ years ago and, while the first few years are rocky (I was close to contacting one friend's family to stage some kind of intervention), it does get better. Never be afraid to ask for help if you need it.
It's definitely a lesson a lot of us have learned the hard way.
That's definitely a nagging feeling you get after a break-up, it fades with time as you realise there's no such thing as the love of your life, there are plenty of people out there for you.
Another lesson we learn the hard way - if daring apps were successful they'd shut down in 6 months. Parr of their business model has to be maintaining a body of users that are unhappy but think the next match could be The One.
Good luck with everything. From what I've seen, it feels like you are almost out the other side of the worst if it.
