Broke up with my ex 5 months ago. We've been together for about 10 months. Did NC for 5 months but today I went up on Facebook and looked at her profile. It set me back a bit. Curiosity killed the cat. I know I shouldn't have. I saw she posted some pix three months back. She goes out partying and have a lot of fun and hang out with a few guys. I am the one who did the broke up but still it's hard as I am still getting over it. I don't have as much friends as she does. I am not looking for a girlfriend at all. On the other hand, she's beautiful and can make friend and hook up easier. I got no reason to be jealous but it's totally beyond my control.
Sorry just ranting, it has been 5 months now but she's still on the back of my mind. It's getting easier day by day. Sometime I feel guilty for breaking up but I know I did the right thing but then over time your mind kind of forget that it was the right thing and the feeling crawl back on you. My memory is so bad, sometime I can't remember why we broke up. I have to keep notes to constantly remind myself.

You will be okay. Do as she did, make friends, and have fun. That always worked for me.

It's okay... as cliché as it sounds time heals all wounds. Well... at least it will make you forget them. Don't Facebook her again. Go out and enjoy yourself.

I do go out with friends, play sports etc. I just don't look for girlfriend. I think it's the guilt of letting go. In term of pain it's less than if someone was to dump me. Breakup sucks. I do love this girl but I had to let go. This time around, I just want to take my time.
The Facebook thing, I know I shouldn't have but don't we all want to know how our exes are doing? The Facebook thing started when I start seeing her friend and she start talking about her it stirred up my curiosity. She haven't remove my pix from Facebook yet and I don't know why. If it was me I would remove everything.

Besides the Facebook thing I think your heading in right direction. You realize and know your reason for breaking up with this girl was the right thing for you. You know what you want and don't want and sometimes our mind plays tricks on us by rememebering the good times over the bad.
Don't worry about why she haven't remove the picture of you from her Facebook because then your just keeping the focus on her and you want your mind away from that zone. Just conyinue going on with your life and take it day by day.

You sound like you're on the right path. She probably didn't remove the pictures for the sake of memories. But don't linger on it too much. Stay strong!

Facebook is so evil. I am still thinking about it. Probably going to take me a few days to get over this. I thought I would be over this breakup by now but apparently not. I was doing so well for the last 5 months. Had good sleep and all. Her friends put me through a guilt trip. "You let her go bla bla". I guess she told them the whole thing. I wish they know the reasons behind all this.

Doesn't matter what they know, think, or do about anything.
All that matters is what you do for yourself.
