Is this a good sign/stage?

Hi all,

 

So, it's been 11 weeks since the break up. Been NC since the day it happened. I've just left my 3rd anger stage since he left me for someone else, and now, well...I have mixed emotions.

 

I will try to explain:

- If I feel any anger, it's for a couple of minutes and then goes away.

- I feel bouts of sorrow and nostalgia...once again, after about 10 minutes, I'm fine.

- I cried twice today, but it was all over in 5 mins.

- I seem to be very happy thinking about my future. The thought of my future is more appealing than thinking of him.

- I feel very free to imagine who my future guy will look like, and that excites me that I can have anyone I want!

- I'll be moving house soon, and once that happens, I know my real adult life will begin (I'm 26). That is very exciting.

 

It feels like I'm in a good stage, but since I'm only a few days out of anger, I'm hoping this 'good feeling' is for real.

 

- Has anyone gone through the same kind of thing along the same kind of timeline that I have?

- What do I have to look forward to?

- Is this a sign that it's all going to be okay?

- Is there likely to be a relapse to negativity?

- What stage is this anyway?

 

Any and all thoughts would be good

Really? No one knows what stage this is? No one's had the same feelings in a similar timeframe? Anyone?

When I woke up this morning, I imagined him kissing me, and holding me. I wasn't thinking of him naturally, so I made myself imagine these scenarios to see how I felt about them. I ALMOST felt nothing. I don't miss him all that much anymore. Thoughts as to where I am now? How long it will last?

 

Feels like when I think about him now, it's accompanied by a shrug, and not anger or tears. I don't think it's complete indifference, but where am I?

I am where u r and I am also 26. The only difference is he interferes with my recovery because we have two kids.
