Well, I thought Day one would be today. Looking like tomorrow. He actually left this morning, around 4 am. Sent me a text saying how much he loves me and I had to call him. I called him again about 3 hours later - sadly, and ironically, he was about one minute away from leaving our state. Which was really gut wrenching. He told me he would let me know when he reaches his destination, just so I know he's made it there safe. Then we begin the NC. We settled on Thanksgiving for a recontact date.
This NC isn't because we both want it or because one of us is unhappy with the other. We are both extremely devastated at the ending of our relationship, so this is really just for us to be okay without each other. Eventually I want to be a part of his life... he meant more to me than anyone ever has. It's just far too difficult when I know he's not coming back.
