Proud of NC

[Ruby Slippers]

I broke up with someone three and a half weeks ago, and I asked him not to contact me unless there was an emergency or any logistical matters to attend to. I made sure we wrapped up the practical stuff within a few days. He has respected my request and not contacted me, and I am glad. I do still miss him sometimes, and I wonder if he misses me, but I know I need to be on my own right now.I am reading some relationship books and realizing that we both made some mistakes. I think this all would have been much harder if we'd kept in contact, so no contact was absolutely the right choice for me.

She pretty much said, "leave me alone" too. Originally when she asked I called and was wondering why she was doing this to me, I emailed a few times and texted and called periodically...blah, blah, etc. Last time I bumped into her over 2 weeks ago she didn't want to talk to me. I was embarrassed because my friends were thier and she snubbed me hard.

I went in No contact because I had to. I am afraid of any more rejection or cruelty. She said that she needed to be on her own too...at school...in her senior year at college...doing her own thing. I am older(28), she is 21.............I thought this was going to work a year ago, but it really fell apart. I got so needy at the end I am ashamed.

I still feel alot of sadness, but Nc is the only way to go.
