music for a broken heart

What I would do is look for music that is up-beat! No matter where you turn - car radio, music on tv shows/movies, playing over the loudspeakers at the local dept. store, etc. will all pull at your heart strings so don't go looking for music to add to the pain. Sounds harsh but it will work. Swing/Big Band music, yea thats the ticket...

A few classics come to mind when I think of good reasons a youg lady can't move to be with her chump:)
Wanderer Fantasy, Nutcracker, Erection Symphony (Mahler),
Conning Little Vixen (Janacek), Infidelio (Beethoven), Soundtrack from The Two Faces of Eve and Soundtrack from "The Carpetbaggers" (Elmer Bernstein).

Just about anything by Meatloaf.

Jennifer Warnes sings the songs of Leonard Cohen on her cd "Famous Blue Raincoat." A good number of the songs on the cd should do the trick. As for something classical, Samuel Barber's: Adagio for Strings and Gustav Mahler's: Adagietto will certainly put you into a deep depression.

Unless there is some legal reason that neither of you can move (probation, house arrest, etc) there is no excuse that ONE of you could not make a choice to join the other. I guess the only thing I could think of that would be a "good" reason is if you both have kids with other people and cannot move due to custody reasons. If it is because of a stupid job (or "career") that is a lame reason to stay apart (or even school). Otherwise I am sorry to say that it is not really love if you let anything keep you apart.
