I have to +1 everyone, corny especially, with the "Your living your life not his" sentiment. I've been the Boyfriend in this situation, and I was a bitter ex for a long time before I realised what was going on. I too would rather have been with her than no one at all, even though it was abusive for both of us. I have learnt so much from the whole ordeal, the biggest being, I should have let her leave me when she wanted to. Dragging it out was miserable for both of us, and did both of us mental harm.
Serously, it's natural you're going to feel hurt or loss. He will be your best and closest friend of many years and you are losing that too. But, it's better for both of you if you just let it go.
