csuu Posted May 3, 2013 Posted May 3, 2013 Hey guys, lurker turned new user here after a recent "break-up". We were more like FWB for 5 months until he began dating another girl. Anyways, I'm hoping to get some tips on my situation as well as reach out and help others. It's been two weeks now since the "break-up"--I proposed NC and he agreed on it a few days later so that we could take some time away from each other and be close friends again like we were before the FWB stuff. I blocked him from just about every form of contact, but so far the NC has been really hard for me with other things going on in my life lately. Four months ago I made a drastic change and moved to another state, so I don't really have friends to hang out with. I've been living at my parents' home which is out in a rural area and since I don't have a car it's difficult to get out and find places to socialize and make friends. Furthermore, for the past month my stepmom has been pissed off at me, won't acknowledge my presence, and has been making it difficult for my dad to interact with me. My only real escapes have been my job, reading books, jogging, and playing guitar. Looking in retrospect, I'm glad this "break-up" happened because I really need to focus on myself, but sometimes it's hard to not want to call him. I'm just wondering if anyone else out there has had to endure NC when they're already stuck in a rut and how did you cope?
