Seekingpeace Posted October 2, 2016 Posted October 2, 2016 I met up with a my ex's family member today and it sent me into a dark hole. I feel like I'm never going to get over this relationship. It's been about 2 months without contact and I've blocked him. I made the mistake of trying to be friends and we ended up having sex. I realized afterwards that I needed to just cut off contact if I was ever going to move on completely but I'm feeling defeated a bit since we broke up in January of last year -slept together in the fall of last year and then again this year and I still feel sad and hurt and angry etc. Granted not to the same extent but it's still looming. I did a lot of work on myself and I'm still doing it but today made me feel like I'm never going to reach the end of this. Suggestions or advice? Thank you!
Wiseman2 Posted October 2, 2016 Posted October 2, 2016 A year and 10 mos is an incredibly long time to not move on or start dating again. It would be best to start filling that void/vulnerability by meeting new people. Being fwb with an ex doesn't seem like a good choice. Perhaps get some therapy if this keeps dragging on so long. Go no contact and block him to avoid the temptation to hookup. Had you blocked him and began dating again after breaking up over 22 mos ago you would be in a happy relationship with someone new who cares about you more than the occasional hookup.It's been about 2 months without contact and I've blocked him. we broke up in January of last year -slept together in the fall of last year and then again this year

boltnrun Posted October 2, 2016 Posted October 2, 2016 Why are you meeting up with your ex's family members? Are you hoping somehow they will talk your ex into returning to you? Never mind if your ex's family loves you or thinks you're wonderful or you think they're nice. For your own good, you need to stay away from them until you can see them without getting upset afterward. And even then there isn't really any reason to hang out with an ex's family.
