Day three:
I am still really struggling but am finding that the support of some of my new ENA friends is helping me through the day.
I still can not even focus on anything but my feelings for my ex, but I am starting to realise that this just means that our 3 1/2 year relationship was based on true feelings for me. Feelings I wish I could have helped cultivate in her.
Someone told me recently not to forget that my ex is also going through a breakup, I take this to mean that she is probably feeling the exact same emotions as I am. She is probably feeling just as confused, angry, sad and lonely as I am. This somehow comforts me, because it makes me realise that we do still have a connection to each other in some twisted way.
I still hope for her to break NC and try to contact me. But I am sure she is talking to her friends who are telling her only to call if she wants to work on the relationship with me, as per my wishes. Today though I wish she would not respect my wishes and would just call.
I also feel angry and sad that none of our "mutual" friends have kept in touch to check I am doing ok. I did nothing wrong, I never cheated, I gave her my entire heart, got dumped and now I feel like I am somehow the villain.
