Should I give up hope?

I have met the love of my life and cannot be with him because his 12 year old daughter made him choose between us. We were together for 16 months and were talking about buying a house together.We got along great and could talk through anything. I do not know why she did not like me except she said I cussed to much, that's the reason she gave her dad. I think it is because I would not talk her dad into letting her go live with her mom like she wants to. When all of this came to be he told me that he would not ask me to wait for him but that if she went to live with her mom he would find me and beg me to take him back if I was not with someone because hurting me was the last thing he wanted to do and that he still loves me. I understand why he choose the way he did .It has only been three weeks since all this happened and I am barely getting by not being able to see him or talk to him. I keep thinking about what he said about getting ahold of me if things changed but lately I am wondering if I should hold on to that slim chance that it will happen? Has anyone else been through this?
