I never realized how truly similar our situations are. Today is day 24 of NC for me, too! I have come such a long way. NC for this long seemed impossible immediately after the break-up; now, it's just a way of life. I have no urge to contact him. If he wants anything, it's all up to him now. I had a very good appointment with my therapist today where she pointed out to me that I keep wanting someone to take care of me, keep giving all this love, and no one ever does. He certainly never did. Everyday seems to be getting easier and easier, and I couldn't be happier! I literally felt like a weight was lifted off of me when I left therapy today.
My biggest concern right now is that he will show up. My birthday is 2 weeks from Sunday, and I'm afraid that if I don't hear from him then, I will soon. I don't know what I'd do, but the therapist & I are going to talk through it next week.
