Ashbash11 Posted October 8, 2007 Posted October 8, 2007 Yes! I can safely say that I am addicted to my ex boyfriend. We've been broken up for 2 YEARS, but I still think about him everyday and when I don't see him for a while, I miss him so much it aches... He doesn't feel the same way, and I'm pretty sure that he's emotionally moved on. It feels awful to know that I'm stuck in this rut. It feels like there's nothing that can make this situation better. I've tried the no-contact thing recently, because it's better for me when I don't talk to him, but I end up missing him so much that I call him..... It's a horribly addictive cycle.. I start feeling better temporarily when I don't talk to him for a while, but then the missing him sets in, and the cycle starts again. Anyone who's addicted to their ex, I feel your pain and I'm not sure what advice to give, other than, take care of yourself. Whatever it may mean in your situation, please, take care.
Author Newtotheblogthing Posted October 9, 2007 Author Posted October 9, 2007 For any women (men may enjoy it too) I am reading a book called "Eat, Drink, Pray". Her story somehow really helped me last night. I am turning spiritual folks. I can't seem to control myself these days, (although I am on day 4 of NC) but I figure someone or something out there will hear my pleas for help. Give me strength!
Precious K Posted October 9, 2007 Posted October 9, 2007 I think I'm the example of being in an addictive relationship. As much as I've know its just not healthy to stay in this relationship it feels like I only need this guy to give me satisfaction in my life.I've been involved with him for 5 yrs on and off. As much drama he has given me I can't take him out of my life. We fight we make up.we text all day. When we fight my day is ruined, when we make up I'm happy and the day gets better. Its amazing how much power a person can have over someone else. I use to be super independant, I did my own thing I would never inform him of what I did. Now he always needs to know who I talk to and where I am or will be. I seem to think its a bad habit I can't let go of. Its the most f'ed up feeling and I relate to anyone that is going through this. Its painful to let them go and when they come back you think how everything will be different. And its not, it will never change. Good luck to everyone.
Author Newtotheblogthing Posted October 10, 2007 Author Posted October 10, 2007 My strength went out the window today. I feel horrible. I want to cry but once again I can't. I have been torturing myself by looking at myspace.. his new gf's post. It's awful. I hate him, I hate her. I want her to know that he cheated on her with me!! It's not her fault is it? Why would I want him? Why am I obsessing today? Too much time on my hands at work? I felt powerless today. As if I couldn't control myself. I have to remind myself WHY we are not together. That nothing has changed on his part and than I am make this all up in my head. My life would NOT be better with him regardless of what my emotions and longings are telling me. It's not real. It's my ego. I am hurt, my pride is wounded. It's like withdrawal.. days without contact and I feel panic. I won't break down completely. This too shall pass... again... and again.. I hope everyone is having a better day than I am.. I need to get it together. Put it in perspective.. I can live without him. I don't need him!!
