Texan Posted July 3, 2007 Posted July 3, 2007 Ok, just passed the first 24 hours of NC... that's the hardest, right? I left a previous post in the LDR section... I know she and I mutually agreed to break it off... she asked me not to call for a while... that she needed space to get her life back in order... I know her mom is not doing well and she is spending a lot of time with her. (Ok, we're older... I'm 51 and she's 44.) She's the first real relationship I've had since my divorce... I've had a few, I guess the word is casual, relationships since the divorce... I hadn't really found anyone that I truly felt compatible with until her... Anyway... I know that NC is going to help... at least intellectually I know that... the emotional side is the hard part. (I know... duh...) I know I made no sense here, but I guess it's more for me to work it out in my head... try to wrap my head around it... Thanks for listening... I have no doubt I'll be back....
This_Too_Shall_Pass Posted July 3, 2007 Posted July 3, 2007 Yes, the NC is difficult, not just for the first 24 hours though. I don't mean to sound foreboding, but it takes a while to get used to. The good part about you both being older is that you're more mature, emotionally. You'll be able to handle this without a lot of the "drama" that happens with younger couples. She sounds like a pretty together lady. I'm sorry it had to turn out this way for you, Texan. You'll pull through it, I'm sure. You're quite together yourself. Keep posting, and remember, you're doing a good job of handling this already.
