Wings Of Love Posted September 3, 2013 Posted September 3, 2013 NC has been going reasonably well for me so far. I'm sleeping better, I don't jump on my phone every time it goes off, I don't constantly check Facebook to make sure he's still single. I've found that I don't have to fake being happy, I actually am. I can forget about him for hours at a time. I don't break down when his name is mentioned. Overall, I feel pretty good. Some of you may know he deleted me from his Facebook last week. That lasted just over 24 hours, after which he tried to add me again. So far I have left the request to rot. I have gone through my entire profile and changed everything to "Friends Only". I don't want to delete his family members (our families are closely tied, it might cause upset) but I have hidden my posts from them. It's still early days and these may only be baby steps, but they are steps nonetheless and I do feel proud of myself. I thought I was going to fall apart, I thought the pain would eventually catch up with me. But I'm alright. I won't lie and say I'm moving on, because I'm not in that place yet. I hope that I am on my way though. 5

reddragon588 Posted September 3, 2013 Posted September 3, 2013 You may not have moved on yet, but you're moving forward and that's the right direction! Way to go. I like hearing stories like this because they help inspire me to continue going forward. 2
saltyfishhead666 Posted September 3, 2013 Posted September 3, 2013 Isn't it funny that when they aren't around you tend to learn not to think about them. I think about my ex a few times a day, hours in between, and don't really think until something reminds me of him. It's like breaking your addiction! You know you miss them and still love them but all of a sudden you aren't addicted too them! That's how I feel anyways x 2

I do love him very much but I've realised now that I'm much stronger than I thought, and I can be happy without him. It's a good feeling. reddragon588 - I'm glad it inspires you to carry on. It's always a tough journey (I've been through this before) but it's always worth it in the end. 2
