The fact that he was able to get a rebound so quickly after you does not give me a very good impression of his character.
I don't mean to be rude or hurtful in any way but--is it possible your relationship meant a lot more to you than to him? Were those times of being "close" as you described, only seen that way in your eyes? I don't know you or your ex, and I can only guess at the dynamics of your relationship. From what you have said however, you are clearly deserving of better.
I understand that you still love him, but think about this: You are young with many hopes and dreams, and have a lot to offer the world if only you let yourself. Will you let him take that away from you?
It is your right and your duty to take your life back, so that the next person you meet and fall in love with will be able to enjoy the full and healed you--and not just the pieces left behind.
Write down everything you hate about what he did to you, and then tear it up and throw it out or burn it, shred it, anything--it sounds strange, maybe even scary, but this form of symbolic "destroying" has been proven to visually help people move and is used by therapists and the like.
Finally, write down everything you want and everything you will do. Start simple. "I will smile at a stranger today." Then get out there and do it. You will gain what you need to move on.
