Not only is it not because of anything lacking in her... but the fact that he left for a student speaks volumes about his deficiencies and insecurities.
It's probably not even that he lost any interest in her for any reason... he just needed a change to boost his ego. That's pretty lousy if you ask me.
I don't like the "sour grapes" approach to things but in this case these are legitimate flaws in the guy.
i hope she can visit sometime soon. doing something fun with a friend will help get her mind off of it. Remember too that this is a grieving process for her and the same 5 stages should be expected.
