Late to the party, and I don't usually post here, but here goes.

I've been in a long-distance relationship for about four years now, and I think it's coming to an end. My girlfriend has been hanging out with some of my old friends lately, friends I made before I moved away across the world, and one of them in particular has been more present in her life than the others. Two days ago he told her he loved her, ever since he met her the first time. Today I had a very long, very abrasive conversation with my girlfriend over Skype, and I am now beginning to understand that the emotional distance that appeared between us in these last few weeks was probably not altogether due to her increased workload, but perhaps something else entirely. No, I do not think they have been sleeping together, but I was now told that what we have now is not working, and that she needs other people in her life.

She is probably right, but that's not making it any easier.
