  1. Day 10,11 and 12 I received an email in his name today... not from him, to him from an online store he bought something through my account months ago. Random, but had a strong urge to check out his social media updates. Resisted. "Keep strong, he left you".
  2. Day 7,8 and 9 Taking it day by day... he is still on my mind each and every day.
  3. Just thought of two more... with different outcomes... my male cousins who are brothers: Brother#1 Had a long-term relationship with a girl, madly in love, planning their life together... she left him at around four years as she didn't feel she loved him any more. He was devastated. She contacted him a few months later to say she had made a terrible mistake and wanted to get back together. He refused and a few months later met his current wife. Brother#2 Met a girl at work who was ten years older than him. He was smitten, she was wary of the age gap. They dated for a few months, when it was getting serious, she pulled away. They occasionally met, but she refused anything more. He changed jobs, didn't see her for about a year, then they started talking again, officially became a couple and are now married with a little girl.
  4. Day 6 D-day. He leaves today to move to another city. Goodbye. Feeling anxious.
  5. My sister broke up with her ex who she 'dated' for around a year just after high school over something trivial. Think he dumped her. Went on to have a four or five (?) year relationship with the father of my nephew, living together - and if I remember rightly briefly got engaged. The relationship was rocky to say the least. She randomly bumped into her ex on a night out and promptly broke up with her then fiance (?) and got back together with her ex. They have been together now for around ten years and live together, happy as Larry. Completely NC the whole time they were apart (not sure how long that was 5-7 years maybe?). Pretty sure they also split up for a week or so, possibly less at one point if I remember rightly. Myself... of seven from what I would call 'serious' relationships... all but one have come back, but I chose not to reconcile with any of them. In all cases I have been the dumpee. Only two of note: Both BF nos. 1 and 2 mirrored each other's behaviour... (on separate occasions) each left me for another girl around six months into each relationship... after around two months they each dumped their new girls and asked for another chance... initially I took each of them back and I dated each for a total of five years each. At four years, each of them then broke it off/on/off/on for a number of months (too young, wanted to do other things, etc,etc.), until the last time they both asked for another chance after a few weeks NC... where I had had enough of each of them and did not reconcile. Both never had another serious relationship until bf no. 1 married ten years after we broke up (but would leave his wife tomorrow for me) and bf no. 2 died without being in another LTR (I hadn't seen him for over ten years at that point). I think this thread is brilliant... however, while we all wish and hope for the fairytale ending, the morale of the story is DO NOT put your life on hold for anyone. There is hope, but more importantly, there is YOU.
  6. Day 5 Officially the longest NC since we met. I am still hopeful, but feeling stronger every day. He wasn't in the right place. He doesn't have enough feelings for me. Is he really worth it? Time for me.
  7. Day 4 Two days until he moves cities. I am hoping it will be easier once he leaves. I feel like I am going through the motions with no direction or purpose.
  8. Day 3 Harder today. I know he is still in my city for three more days. I think it will be easier once I know he is not here. I am reminded of him every day, as we worked a block away from each other and on my way to work we would meet for 'breakfast'. He left his job last week, I know that I will never bump into him in the morning before work ever again. I am taking a different path to work to try to avoid the memories.
  9. Day 2 10 month relationship, until he lost his job. He is now leaving to start a new life, new job in a different city, 650 miles away. I wanted to make it work... he doesn't think his feelings are strong enough to try. I didn't cry, beg or plead... explained how I felt and that he is not to blame if he doesn't feel the same, but that I would be removing all contact for self-preservation. Ball is in his court... but I'm focusing on me now. Yesterday was gut-wrenching, today I felt an odd sense of calm... we'll see what tomorrow brings. I miss us.
