THE NO CONTACT CHALLENGE - SuperDave71


Recommended Posts

Day 4

 

Interesting...I went out on the town tonight with my friend. I saw 3 of mine and my ex's friends, whom I haven't seen since the split. All 3 [2 of them without me asking] told me he infact doesn't have a girlfriend, so he's been lying. One said he always goes in the pub miserable and on his own like before he met me. One of the guys, my ex said didn't want anything to do with me, and he was thrilled to see me! He welcomed me with open arms and took down my number. I do wonder why my ex is lying, and is apparently so miserbale when he chose not to be with me and seemed happy with me. But whatever...I need to try not to analyze it too much, it is what it is! He's a strange one. It just shocks me that you don't always know someone that well, despite thinking you know them inside out! And I guess him lying like this proves to me he's "not all that" But I sitll love and miss him! If he does have a girl friend or is seeing someone, I'm sure he'd have told them, and I doubt they are lying to protect me...they're pretty straight to the point.

I thinks its day 43

 

Strangely today I was miserable all day. Nothing triggered it, I was just sad again. Its strange how the emotions sometimes come rushing back without warning.

 

I just feel so disappointed in her. The hurtful things she last told me, the dating a guy immediately after.

 

When I met her, she was the breath of fresh air that helped me realize there are good, sweet, kind people out there. I had just gotten out of a relationship where the girl broke up with me, said many very mean and hurtful things, instantly dated a guy, strung me along, and lied to me.

 

She was NOTHING like the ex before her. She was a shining example of a beautiful person.

 

However, she ended up doing the very same thing :sad:

 

I just don't understand how she became the thing that I knew she was not?

Okay. I'm starting from day zero again. This time I'm going to do my best to not contact her. I know she is going to call tomorrow and the day after. But, I'm not going to answer the phone. I have written her a letter of my intentions so that she knows I'm not ignoring her. I want to heal and get back to my happy, old self. 6 months ago I was on top of the world. Recently, I hit rock bottom. I'm going to turn my life around. I am doing this for me. At the end of 30 days, I might contact her. Then again, I might wait until I'm back to myself 100%. Please say some prayers and assist me with good encouragement. Thanks. TO

L-sparkle my partner said the same thing but they still dont want us no matter which way we look at it. I want someone to know they want me, thats the least I deserve. It feels really uncomfortable me standing up for myself like this but LC dont work for either getting him back or me moving on!. Waste of freaking a**** time!. lol.

I've come to the conclusion, I can't do NC for more 2 days.... I try, but I fail so bad. I'm too deeply in love and miss him far too much. He told me today he doesn't want NC when I asked. It's just so tough!!

 

Much respect for those who can do it.

 

I'd suggest starting with smaller goals. Set a goal for yourself to go 3 days NC and stick to it no matter how hard it is. It much easier to tell yourself to hold off for 1 more day. Every time you fail, set a goal to make it 1 day longer than you did before.

I think NC can only be a win win situation. I am trying not to beat myself up about the mistakes I made in my relationship, I was only human. My ex doesnt except any responsibility in his part of the break up whatsover. His exact words were " I havent done anything wrong, and you know I havent " Err..ok..lol. Well this in itself shows me he has much work left to be done!

 

Tomorrow is Day 1 NC for me but I have a completely different mindset. I am doing it with the mindset he may never call me again but if thats the case he never was the right person for me! If he truly loved me he would be back..

 

I have accepted I did all I can, and have told him to not contact me unless he wants to be with me. I just dont think I could keep ignoring his calls he was starting to think I was playing a game and I dont do games at all! I have laid the cards on the table , he knows the grounds on which to contact me.

 

He did p*** me off today, when he said " so you dont want to know how im doing " as if I was the one that dumped him??!!!. I am so glad to be finished with this head f*** sherade!

I would just like to add, "how to heal your broken heart" by susie and otto collins is also an interesting read. The chapters are short but the book covers just about every scenario we encounter when we are going through a break up with someone , down to how to " getting to sleep at night e.t.c"

let me explain. I ride a motorcycle thats what i do to try to avoid all the heartache I feel. So i'm riding around for about 3 hours. I decide its time to go home so I leave the group and head home GUESS WHO HAPPENS TO BE INSERTED INTO THE Yeah my ex the one that broke my heart. One SECOND of different timing and I would have never seen him. ONE light being a different color me leaving ONE second sooner or later or HIM leaving one second sooner or later from wherever he came from and I WOULDN"T HAVE SEEN HIM! I would have been on a different street as he was turning onto the one I had just left. SERIOUSLY i've already hit rock bottom can't SOMEONE GIVE ME A BREAK! i was doing the best that I could and then he has to be painted into the picture WHY!!!!!!!!!!!!

Day 22!

 

How MSN works these days just beats me.

 

On Day 20 my sister noticed that my ex MSNed her saying "you there?" (lame). I've blocked and deleted him from mine, and I thought I did the same for hers too! (Could have been wrong)

 

Then yesterday, Day 21, I was happily playing away on an online role playing game, on my sister's computer (her MSN was running...it always it) when suddenly an MSN window popped up and said " 'Your ex' wants to invite you to create a file sharing folder. Do you accept? Yes, no". Ah bugger. I was enjoying myself too. It just made my heart stand still.

Been hanging out and talking to my ex every few days lately. We are both getting along really well. Today especially. I really hoped we could do something tonight but she is hanging out with one of friends instead. Booo lol. Anyways, we are on great terms at the moment but I think I am going to go NC for a week or so. I know she enjoys being with me and knowing I'm there for her, but I think she needs a reminder what it's like not to have me at all. I think it will help her decide what it is she wants. Not sure if I should tell her that I want to break contact for a while or just disappear. I don't want her to think something bad by me disappearing, but at the same time if she told me she was doing something like this it wouldn't bother me b/c I know we would just talk again in a week. Advice?

 

Soo Monday will be day 1. Going to need some support to get through this lol. (And I know a week isn't long but gotta start somewhere.)

Crap!!! My ex contacted me today and we actually had a pleasant convo. Now, I have to start over with this whole daggone NC challenge. I can't help but answer the phone when she calls because I don't know whether it is emergent or not. I feel great about having the conversation that we had. But, I have let all of the people here at enotalone down. So, now I have to start over. Day Zero. TO

Well Day 1 of the strictest mother of all NC starts today.

 

Last conversation went like this

 

" Do not contact me unless you want to be with me.."

 

Ex-....err ok ..

 

I am scared s***less!

 

He may never call

 

 

So am I, huni. I'm scared my ex never will because he's sooo bloody stubborn! But whatever. If he doesn't it just proves he doesn't care about me enough to put away the sturrborness at least for a while, and that's just not good enough. Same with your ex...if he doesn't come back...he's not worth it. Sooo much easier said than done, I know. I keep wanting to email my ex "one last time" but I doubt it'll do any good. And the way I left it last time was good. I was cool, calm, collected. Eventhough he was really angry and said soem stupid s!hit. I looked the better person. But what you said was also good. It's straight to the point. I like it. One problem I am having...I did tell him I wouldn't have him back if he begged I'm now worried his stubborness won't let him even if he did want to, after I said that. What do you think?? Maybe I should contact again and this time tell him I do want him back?? But then that would look so planned out?? ARGH, HELP! lol

Day 5! Goal: Forever! Wish me luck! Previous record: Just short of 4 months in 2006.

 

I am desperate to get over her and move on. This time I think I can do it. This time i think I can resist the urge to run back when and if she calls. This time I can be strong and not make the same mistakes I've been making for 2 3/4 years, thanks to you! This time I can wait for the right person, and have the self confidence and self love to know I can.

 

Though I did have to put something in the mail to her, let's hope she doesn't call! I doubt it, although she dumped me 3 weeks ago, I ended things definitively with a "I don't want to deal with this anymore, don't ever contact me again" letter.

 

Keep your fingers crossed.

 

D on LI.

 

Good luck!!! You can do it!!!
