Believe it or not, people change after high school. I've experienced it. My baby sister, who I told this same advice to, experienced it. Two good friends that were dating went through it after high school... Don't take it out on yourself. It's not you. He's changing, his own thoughts are forming. Take this time to get to know yourself too.

I agree with Confus3d. Just before my 21st birthday my boyfriend of 6 years dumped me. We were both changing. I was ready to start settling in and he was wanting to party with his single guy friends. He was going to propose to me in February but didn't and in the end left me for someone who was engaged to get married.
I say grieve for your loss. Because at this point you lost what you thought would be your future. It's hard to imagine that going away. But in the end remember to live. Even if it is a struggle find a friend and to go a movie.
In the end, what really helped me get over losing my ex was finding someone new. Out of the blue my husband walked into my life from a completely unexpected place. We were friends and just never stopped being around each other.
Sure it hurts that he left you like that. But I have been the other direction. My ex and I tried to stay friends and I always held out hope for us to be together again. My depression sunk deeper and deeper because I wasn't able to let go of him. Break ups are hard no matter how it happens. Treasure your fond memories with him, grieve the lose of the future and in time you will find a new path and possibly and even better future.
