I dumped bf of 12 years last week as I discovered he had cheated. he tells me he cheated as his feeling were fading away anyhow.

Later on I wonder if we could do something (counselling, i.e) and he tells me he needs to think about it and will reply.

 

In the meanwhile, I cannot maintain NC with him (so i chat email wh him) also because i'm waiting for an answer but i feel i'm humiliating myself.

 

I've not so many friends around and unemployed too unfortunately. I tried journaling and it works a little bit.

 

What else works?

 

thx,

Try posting in the thread "write here if you want to contact your ex!" It's in this section on the first page; has like 5,000 posts. Maybe try wearing a rubber band around your wrist and snap it against your wrist when you want to contact him. And stay busy. I wouldn't suggest reading because then your mind can wander and think about him. But work out, or just go for walks. Go places where you can meet people, like the park (even if you live in a city). Stay busy doing stuff- anything really, and get your mind off him.

 

I know it sounds easy to do all this but it's hard to do it. I've been there. But if you do it, you won't regret it.
