Good for you. It is such a difficult thing to do but you have great strength and courage. You will find the right person for you and be happier than you could have ever imagined.
How to not let loving someone mean I let them hurt me
It made me
Happy! 
"I loved this person, I did everything I could, I gave them all I had to give and it still wasn't enough so I'm going to wait and give it to someone who appreciates it."
How I did it: I talked to them and explained I wasn't happy.... and in the end I did the only thing I could do and removed them from my life. Self preservation really but once it was done I felt like a weight had been lifted, and I started smiling again. Do it, if you feel dragged down because someone is making you unhappy... let them go and drag someone else down.
