"Women Who Love Too Much" By Robin Norwood. This is great for boosting your confidence and thinking "he was a to$$er anyway!".

"Feel the Fear and Do it Anyway": Susan Jeffers. Lots of us become institutionalised in relationships and get scared of living alone etc. Although this isn't a relationship book, it's great for building confidence generally.

"The Tenant Of Wildfell Hall" by Anne Bronte. This might be available on MR. I found this comforting many years ago when a relationship ended. I've forgotten most of the details, but remember identifying with the main character. This is worth reading, in spite of being written in a different era.

Sorry. I've just read the post where you say it's not a question of lack of love, but situational. The Susan Jeffers book would be of help.

I found myself in a similar situation when I and a live-in boyfriend had to split due to going to separate uni's. Lots of tears and making new friends helped me. I'd suggest keeping away from romance novels and going for thrillers and comedies, depending on taste. Perhaps classics such as Dickens, Victor Hugo (The Hunchback) or Fielding's Tom Jones.
