Long story short, me and the ex work in the same building. 1.5 months NC.

 

She dumped be to be "alone" after a 1.5 years of dating.

 

We bumped into each other while I was on lunch and I was talking to a friend on the phone. I had the biggest grin and we waved at each other. She sends me a text 30 minutes later saying that it was nice seeing me and that I looked really good.

 

I ignore it but it has set back my healing. She seems like she is over it while I'm here crying almost every night over her. I despise the fact that I meant so little to her.

 

All I can imagine is this grandiose life she is living.

 

I'm doing what I can to try and move on.

-Went on vacation out of country for 2 weeks.

-Hang out with friends.

-Reconnect with people

-Lean on my support system, family, friends and talking to a therapist

-Better myself, working out, dieting, reading books about self development

 

I find myself still hurting and thinking about her 24/7.

Don't assume she is fine. People cope differently. No one sees what you're going through, same for her. She maybe thinking the same about you.

I used to think the same about my ex, then I found out it wasn't so straight forward.

You are doing everything you can to move on, working in the same building is not easy, don't be too hard on yourself. These emotions are part of the process. Stick with NC, even in a moment of weakness. You will get there.

Thank you.

 

I'm really hard on myself and I guess I enjoy beating myself up.

 

I'm sticking to NC, she's not worth adding anymore pain in my life.

 

I wonder if she really is hurting like I am or if she'll ever feel this amount of pain. It seems like she's having the time of her life.
