Exactly.

What's best for us, not them.

What's best for them isn't us.

Well - its finally come to an end. He moved out today while I was at work. I had his stuff ready for him. One of the hardest things I have ever had to do.
He thanked me for leaving the keys etc. by email and so now that is it.
I thought when I got home I would be OK... but this is really tough. I knew it was happening but now it is so real. All the work I have done over the past month - back to square 1.

I guess I need to go back into NC after emailed with him back and forth about him moving out right? Only thing I am happy about is that I didn't ask him to meet up, to talk or said anything about us. I just agreed and tried to make things as amicable as I could.
Dang - this is tough.

Hope.
You did well-and as for back to square one-I don't think so,now you can allow yourself to accept that its over.

That is a big step forward towards healing.

Back to NC and take good care of yourself.

The last reminisce are now gone, so this is actually a form of closure. Now that he's taken away his belongs, it decreases the false hope.

So in a manner of speaking, you haven't reset all your progress, it's just a bump on the road to recovery.

Just keep moving forward with your life. If you need, block his email, so that his emails don't get through. There should be a feature for that in your account.

Hope, I know that this was a pending thing that was causing you grief.

You handled it perfectly. And yes, continue with NC.

A huge step in the healing process and you should be proud, although I bet it doesn't feel that way right now.

This proves how much strength you have and will in the future.

When I was really struggling, lots of people patted me on the back & I couldn't really see it, but I certainly do now.

Keep realizing your importance in this life and know that this is a lesson for you. To become better and show the worthy people out there out cool, adjusted and aware you are.

Cheers,
Van

You should change the title of this thread because you have proven you are strong enough to do NC!
