    Day 31 feeling good this morning. on day 30, yesterday, i went to a concert and had a great time w/ friends people watching and listening to good music. i also got hit on by a cute younger guy at the end of the night, so that felt pretty good. i think i'm getting my good 'aura' back now that i'm not so down in the dumps depressed about the past. running has helped me immensely, w/ ea stride i feel like i'm sweating away all that bad juju from the breakup. i definitely don't feel like talking to the ex nor do i want to hear anything about him (unless i hear that he's miserable w/o me, lol). time & space is what i need, i know this will be a distant memory someday but in the meantime i'm trying my best to live life in the hear & now as best as i can.

    day 26 my ex has been in the forefront of my mind all day, agghh! i don't even know what triggered it. maybe it's the anticipation of the 30 day mark and i haven't heard from him at all (not expecting to after my very blunt email to stop toying w/ my emotions). i hope it subsides soon... i can just feel every fiber of the no contact "separation" tearing one by one...

    you are far from being a jerk if you don't respond. in fact it will speak volumes if you don't respond to her email because you are showing her you are sticking to your word and you mean business. IMO, if she's seeing someone else, there is no alternative but to end all contact, which is what you did. now stick to it i know how hard it is, but you can do it - good luck!

    i don't know your situation, but think of it this way - what would you regret more, responding to a generic happy easter greeting and getting sucked into meaningless email banter w/ the ex that could put a halt your healing process OR holding strong by being mysterious and aloof while not responding, which will inevitably make her think and wonder about you even more?

    aww thanks! i have been inspired by so many on here too! good luck to you, journeynow. it's a difficult road we all travel, isn't it? the toughest i've ever had in my life. but, i believe there's a pot of gold at the end of it for all of us

    24 Days Feeling that the sadness has and will be with me for some time, but now that I have the ex out of the equation and almost a month NC, I finally have more energy and strength to conquer my own inner turmoil, to focus on my independent life. He's no longer my problem. I am in control now. That's the beauty of NC.

    Day 23 I'm actually been feeling really confused recently, because I've been trying to quit smoking (4 days NC on that!) and I'm not sure if it's post-break up nerves or just the nicotine w/d making me want to JUMP OUT OF MY SKIN! Overall, I think I'm heading in the right direction. Eating better, taking care of myself, keeping busy, although I still have my moments - they just don't pull me down as far as they used to.

    Day 22 i'm rockin' steady, riding out the storm. i think i'm getting the hang of steering this ship!

    always come clean. for someone to cheat on someone else, IMO shows lack of character and/or serious problems with the relationship. the person cheated on deserves to know this no matter what the consequences. it is cowardly to lie and hide the truth from your SO. if you cheat and you don't tell, what is going to prevent you from doing this again? after all you "think" you got away with it. even worse, who is to say your SO won't find out on their own later? the truth ALWAYS comes out in the end somehow, and it's best for both people that the cheater reveals this truth. suffer the consequences now and tell the truth, your SO will flip out, he/she may leave you, but if you love each other and it was meant to be, you BOTH will work on your relationship and it will be stronger than ever before. IMO, cheating is disgusting and the first step to learn and grow from this type of behavior is to be honest with yourself and your loved ones.

    because she is taking the situation for granted. or doesn't think you have the guts to truly not talk to her. let her live her life w/o you in the purist form. absolutely no contact or replies from you. that's the only way she knows what she's missing.

    after many failed attempts at NC, the only thing different for me this time is acceptance. acceptance it is over. acceptance that i've done all i can do to try to reconcile with him. acceptance that not all relationships are perfect and to let go when the ex doesn't have it in them to mend things. having the ex out of your life is key to feeling like a "whole" person again.

    yup. i have gone and am going through the same thing. 2nd week was tough for me as far as the nostalgic feelings coming back. but now i'm feeling the cloud lifting, i hope i can ride it out but i am realistic there will be setbacks but hopefully fewer and farther between. and that i will have the know-how to deal with the setbacks in a positive way. Day 20 here. Feeling more confident and strong today...

    day 19 I'm feeling those nostalgic feelings coming back Does anyone else feel that 3rd week of NC is the hardest? I'm hoping it'll be more smooth sailing after a month. as they say, it takes 30 days to break an addiction...
