On the OP:
The idea of "rights" isn't something I would be concerned with. The definition is too vague; when made to be more specific, it's frivilous. One could argue he has the legal right to disengage contact. Another might argue he hadn't the right to neglect you on the generally acceptable terms of a relationship's social contract, owing notifcation to you on his decision to disengage from the mutual obligations.
When it comes down to it, rights aren't the issue so much as how one should react; this is simple, in that there isn't much of a way to react beyond moving on. Internally, it may be more difficult. I'm sure you're concerned with if your feelings are inappropriate? If that feeling of abandonment is healthy, or if it should be cut? This is something you'll have to answer for yourself. It is my personal opinion, and I'll be so bold as to assume that it may be the general concesus (sp?), that you should feel abandoned, and that what he did was morally wrong.
In the end, I hope you feel better after healing and reconizing this was a single incident. I won't claim it can't happen again. My romantic notions would tend to push for seeing this as an isolated incident, an outlier.
If you should chose to see what he has done as 'wrong', and to feel the pain of abandonment, personally, I'll be here for you to speak to. I do not believe in "right" and "wrong" as most would seem to, so I won't argue that this is the best course of action, but it is one I would find agreeable.
In conclusion: *Huggles.*
