THE NO CONTACT CHALLENGE, Part 2


Recommended Posts

A new day, I got very close to messaging her on Facebook today with a final good bye to basically tell her I was truly accepting us being over and moving on but as I was typing it, it became more and more of a plea for her to reconsider so I stopped and just decided no contact is still the way to go. I don't need to tell her that I'm moving on. Me not texting or calling her is telling her that.

Day 39:

 

Thought about him a LOT over the weekend and felt a bit sad. Absolutely no urge to contact though. It's almost half the amount of time I went before, before he contacted me. I'm feeling pretty strong, hoping I can finally get over him.

Day 1: I left my BF a week ago, and after I few days I contacted him and we saw each other briefly yesterday. This, and the fact that I was feeling like I was dying the past week, made me doubt my decision to break up. So now, I will try a not contact him until his birthday on November 9th. And if I still feel like it, ask for a do-over.

 

So, let the pain begin.

First day of a NC do over after I made a mess of things this past weekend. At my doctors to talk about possible depression. I can't sleep, I don't want to eat or work. I blocked her on my phone after a fight last night where I told her how I really felt about what she did. I told her to never contact me. Not sure why I'm posting. The NC is going to happen regardless now. No going back.

I had an epiphany this morning when I wasn't supposed to be thinking of her. There have been maybe 3 times in the past where I felt that if I were to press the issue, that she would give us another shot. The windows were open for a very short time, but I decided each time not to climb through. I decided that if it was me that asked for a second shot and she said yes, I would never know if it was what she actually wanted, or if she just went along with what I said during a vulnerable moment. The consequence of me not taking those chances, is that another guy saw that that window was open, and crawled through. I now get to witness what that looks like from the outside. And I have to say, I think I made the right choice.

 

I did have a brief desire to talk to her and tell her this. That she is still just going with whatever her emotions tell her at the time and not thinking big picture. I wouldn't ever actually tell her haha, but I imagined it. The desire has passed fortunately. I feel like I'm on the other side of something. That could be just because I haven't actually seen her in a while. Something always happens in me when we are physically in the same space.

Day 41:

 

I miss being in love. real love, where you both love each other and it feels like magic. Sex is unfulfilling. I miss having someone to go for long walks with.

 

I'm not sure I'm even missing him tbh, maybe I'm just missing being in love.

3 months have passed by since the break up, broken NC and restarted it again.. 1 week in. I don't think I am doing this properly or for the right purpose. The only thing that keeps me going is the hope that he will come back, so I am not using it for my own good to work on myself and Im mainly missing the physical intimacy but bootycall would be a bad idea too.. what is my life right now. I don't even know. god help me

Sometimes you have to do the right thing for the wrong reason. At some point I think it will really click that he's not coming back - then the real work can begin.

I know... sometimes the misery becomes so intense the only way I can even get out of the downward spiral is to think about reuniting with her. It's a bad place to be. On one hand it keeps things bearable... on the other hand it means that there is always this baseline level of pain that isn't leaving.

I'm glad I have a NC companion at almost the same day count

Day 4: I´m feeling ok, no more crying, but I think of him 90% of the time. In the evening I´m completely fine, but every morning as I wake up the first thing that comes to my mind is him. I even think about the times in the future I could visit him, if we would get back together, but that is so crazy that I´m starting to scare myself. I´m still trying to figure out if asking for a do-over would be a good idea. And I´m scared that he would not want to. Then it will definitely be over.

Day 43:

 

Still thinking about him. WHY has it all come back again? Not crying or anything just feeling sad and whistful and generally pathetic.

 

I think one day, not any time soon, we will be able to be friends. I really hope so because he is the best person I have EVER met and I'd love to be able to meet up and do stuff with him. He is respecting my NC wish at the moment which shows that he respects me, which I already knew tbh. I also know he finds it hard not having me in his life, but I'm not sure whether that is because he wants me as an emotional crutch (unintentionally, because he hasn't got a underhand bone in his body) or because he actually misses me as a person.

 

Hopefully one day things will be simpler.

Just realised I counted wrong - that was actually day 42 and we are on the same day count 1 extra day - that's a nice realisation.

 

How's it going for you?

 

Haha oh how wonderful! It's actually really neat to see that we are on the same NC path... I can relate to how you feel. It's helpful to see that we as a species go through very similar thought processes and emotional struggles
