  1. Too tired to write now, but wanted to give my day count. Hang in there everyone, and I'll hang in there, too.
  2. I'm changing little things in increments. For example, once again I deleted his name from AIM so he won't be a constant in my thoughts. Before I wanted to see his name for the comfort factor. Now I'm ready to take little steps for letting go a little more every day.
  3. Congratulations, lkonohalanbu. You should feel very proud of yourself. Thanks for sharing your hope. -Rosie
  4. I think I'm actually pulling back and letting go, at least it's felt that way all weekend. As it's been one month and four days since we actually spoke -- despite my two setbacks during NC -- I'm getting some distance and feel calmer and more detached. Interesting.
  5. Dear Smaab, I'm sooooooo sorry to hear the thoughts your tormented by. It's OK to cry. You're in a safe place that will help you heal. -Rosie
  6. The weekend that my ex spent with the other woman, and for several weeks after, it felt like my heart was being squeezed tight and it was on fire with pain all the time. I had to concentrate on breathing positive, loving energy into my heart, and breathe out the pain and hurt and negative energy. I only have to do that occasionally now. Stelinha Congratulations on 7 days! ccali78 I'm rooting for you and sending positive energy your way. I don't believe anyone is destined to be unhappy.
  7. In the wave of gratitude I'm feeling at so much support, I almost forgot to write my day count.
  8. WOW. I'm absolutely blown away by all this support from everyone. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Nice analogy, David, about how NC is similar to forgiveness. I've been saying the Serenity Prayer over and over ... God, Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, Courage to change the things I can, And wisdom to know the difference. (To which I add, "Thy will, though mine.") I'm touched and sadly all too familiar with the pain you describe. I guess the bright side is we're so blessed to have ENA and the kindness of strangers as we try to make it through such a *heartbreaking* time. Peace to you, too, David.
  9. Your words sound eerily familiar, Stelinha. Makes me think I'm sure doing a lot of rationalization and justification, instead of what I need to do: Let him go. Thanks for reaching out.
  10. Oddly enough, I thought of you and your encouragement, and how I was going to be embarrassed for you to see that yesterday I ended up back at Day 1. Your compassionate words mean a lot, Tshwane.
  11. Thanks, David. It's so hard. Called him last night. Left a message of apology. When we broke off, I sent two scathing e-mails, something I've not done before (at least I don't think so). Now I plan to go NC just so I don't torture the guy. Whatever it takes, I guess. Oh, and I prayed to the Goddess last night to give me the courage and fortitude to do what I need to do. This was before I called. I believe the call was the right thing to do. I also believe I need to stop contacting him now. I've never had him ignore me before, and so obviously he needs his space, either because I hurt, offended, or angered him; or because he's trying to make a clean break of it once and for all. Either way, the message is for me to back off.
  12. Wish my heart was in this. I'll just keep acting as if, I guess.
  13. I'm not used to failing. I guess the problem is my heart isn't in NC, even if I trust it's the healthy thing to do.
