seconds away from breaking NC

I broke up with my boyfriend 12 days ago after having an on and off again relationship for over a year... He was a good lover, but not a good boyfriend...
Today I am hitting a peak of loneliness my heart hurts so much........
I really want to see him i can't help it....
I want to call him, and I have never been the one to call him...
I miss him, and I wish I had just been willing to put up with a ****ty relationship instead of this nothing at all...
Being lonely sucks

This says it all

Why give yourself more grief. Don't call him. Go for a run, call friends.

what's the point of contacting him...he's still going to be a ****ty boyfriend even if you were to get back together

if you are lonely...do something like join a outdoors club, movie club, supper club

if you are sex-crazed horny...get a good vibrator

at least you will have respect for yourself if you don't contact him

I think I lost respect for myself with men a long time ago...
I'm not sure how to get it back, but I'm guessing breaking NC would be a step in the wrong direction.

fight the impulse.
read the boards - 99% of people who break NC until they full healed come back with regret or more pain.
there is a reason for that.

we all feel lonely, i feel lonely a lot. go for a long bikeride, go shopping. go see a movie with a friend.
just dont' contact

Why would you even say this?? I would rather be lonely any day, than to have my heart broken by someone that doesn't give a F about me. Have some self-respect.

Im in that 99%, and let me tell you, this is the truth right here. Don't reach out to him.. you'll feel about 100000x worse than you feel right now.

Exactly.
Contacting them almost never works. Why?
Because they can't/wont' give you what you THINK you want.



So why settle for that kind of rejection?
