6 year relationship breakup advice? Help?

I recently about a month ago broke up with my long term partner of 6 years. The relationship was great in many ways healthy and nice. However I had my doubts plus he lived in Australia we were in long distance for 4 years or so of the relationship. I got tired of long distance we both study so we can’t just move/leave everything behind. The expectation was that I moved. I broke up with him because of some things I felt were missing due to the nature of our relationship. I also noticed because these things were missing, I felt pulled to someone else who was near me. This was unacceptable to me and I broke up with him because I don’t want to be a cheater or dishonest. After the breakup I’m dating a new partner, he’s lovely and I’m ashamed to share this part. We were friends for a while so it makes sense.

However, it’s been a month now and I miss my ex deeply I miss our shared interests the most not many people around me have them with me. I miss our conversations. I find myself wanting to call him or text him quite often now. Given I’m also less busy now than during the breakup and I am sick, and feeling depressed/low. I just want some help, tips, advice maybe? It’s hard to get over a “good” relationship and for the sake of my partner and myself I want to move on emotionally. Please be gentle in the thread, thank you.
