How about if we use this thread to count the NC days, all of us? Each one would mention how long he/she's been maintaining the NC period and how he/she feels with time.
Maybe in some way this can help us all (including me)?
This is my first NC day.. Afternoon here, so far didn't even touch my phone. I don't know how I feel, but I'm not that miserable, I have a goal and thinking about it, NOT HER!
3 weeks before break up- I don't think I'll ever love anyone like I love you
2 weeks before break up- I think we need to take things easy and just have fun
1 week before break up- Im not really sure about us now.. but I cant imagine losing you in my life..or never speaking to you again
break up- I dont want anything to do with you any more.
1 week after break up- lets be friends
NC
every 2-3 days msn message "hi"
4 weeks before breakup: "You know my mom and your mom should meet up. I mean, if we're going to get married they'd have to meet up first, right?"
2 weeks before breakup: "I can't imagine my life without you. I think it'd be great if we could be together forever. These past 4 years have gone by so fast".
Breakup: "I don't know what I want out of my future. I don't like where my life is headed. I need to build a new life and I can't worry about you while I"m doing that."
4 weeks after breakup: "I love. I will always love. I miss you. I just can't be in a relatinship right now. I want to be free to do whatever I want. Ur an amazing woman. You didn't do anything wrong. You don't deserve this. I'd still be willing to hang out if you want to."
Agh, Day 13 of NC. NC is awesome. It keeps you completely out of their confusion. And let's you start to see things more clearly. See the ex for what they are, " a confused messed up person who just lost the greatest thing that ever happened to them....forever.
I think a lot of people make the mistake of thinking about every word their exs said to them in the few weeks before they broke up, then critically tearing it apart and analyzing every single word. I'm not sure this is the best way to go about it because people tend to feel as if they were lied to or lead on.
I'm sure if I thought about it there were things my ex said to me before we broke up which I could look back on now and say "Why" and probably get all teary-eyed. However, the fact of the matter is that they did not mean it personally. I can guarantee none of them were thinking: "Let me say this to keep them hanging on so it hurts that much worse when I dump them." Its just simply not the case.
I try not to look at the breakup as a personal attack, rather just an incompatibility. Once it becomes personal, it hurts that much more.
LosingIt77 aww : / it seems to me you dream a little too often of him :'x you'd have to be really strong to make it past this point,so hold on both of you (bigbird213 too!).
As for me i rarely dream of him,when i did i always ended up crying and feeling well...really hurt.
bigbird, recalling the words that were said to me, don't make me teary eyed they make me laugh at how ridiculous of a month it was..Almost unreal :]
I agree with you though that it's the case 90% of the times..and I've said before- the only reason I AM taking this break up personally, and I am angry- is the way that she handled it. Though I must say it left me without hope so I should probably thank her at the same time..
What i heard 2 months before the breapup was "I never want to love or have another girl" riiight
Breakup? "Err...we have to talk...so that you dont feel lied to later.I dont feel the same about you anymore.Sorry.Now then how about that 4chan,huh?"
Unfortunately, for me I've always been a very "active" dreamer. Its funny, when we together, I rarely had dreams with him in them. Now, that we're apart, they're starting up. Oh well, guess thats just the "missing him aspect." Just gotta keep remininding myself its natural. I mean its only been 2 weeks since I last saw him. It okay to miss him....its NOT ok to call him though!! So, its all good. Just looking forward to getting through the next couple of months and keeping myself busy. The last 2 days have been a little hard but I know its all going to be ups and downs for awhile. As long as I just cope with the emotional roller coaster for a bit, I'll come out the other end a stronger and better person for it.
And don't kill yourself by reading all those things on the net that give a million different reasons as to why it didn't work or what YOU did that caused the breakup. Its not you. It was the both of you. Some times people just aren't compatible. Don't worry, you'll meet the person that's the right mixture of love and compatibility for you one day.
For now, just keep up with the NC. It'll make it a lot easier and try not to sit around dwelling on what went wrong or what's wrong with you. There's nothing wrong with you! He just wasn't the right one. One day you'll meet someone who feels equally as strong about you as you do about them. Just let time heal this. It will. I know I"m going through the same thing, we'll get through this.
losingit77 thank you so much. I know i shouldnt blame myself or play the blame game at all.Its just he was so disrespectful to me,he even said it himself and it drives out of my skin right now.
What i did was make a cake.Not a big success but hey i kept NC.
i just saw this
