Sorry to hear about your situation, Refraction. I feel like I should approach this delicately considering that I sent one packing 1,300 miles back to his homeland. It sucked a lot, yes, and I vowed to never, ever again set myself or anyone else up for something so miserable. I know I made the right decision for my life. However, it made me pretty apathetic toward the idea of really being in love with someone again. Hopefully that's not the case for you, but, I'd say just focus on making your life awesome, because the only "sure thing" in life is yourself.
I guess an advantage of having married a local is that neither of us will have to go far if we ever split.
