lauri Posted December 24, 2013 Posted December 24, 2013 I want to say happy holidays to everyone on this message board. You have been an inspiration to me and helped me through some of the roughest times of my life. Without you, I wouldn't have the strength to keep NC while my ex messages me. During these holiday seasons, I imagine many of you will have your ex contact you wishing you a Merry Christmas or Happy New year. Just remember to stay strong and don't get sucked into anything! My ex contacted me wishing me a Merry Christmas and I immediately thought of all the advice and support I got here. I respectfully responded saying "thanks, you too" deleted her message and made sure to not save her number. She did message me again saying "How have you been? but I just deleted it immediately after and did not respond. How would most of you handled this situation? And how do you think you will handle it when/if the time comes? 2

BTW she dumped me 3 weeks ago

hurts2death Posted December 24, 2013 Posted December 24, 2013 lauri how are going on bro? everything ok? i am getting a relapse. it sucks. i hope its the end of my bumpy path
soccerrprp Posted December 24, 2013 Posted December 24, 2013 Happy holidays everyone! Stay strong and optimistic as the new year approaches. We're all a year wiser and stronger. A word of warning, don't let the holiday ambience cloud your sensibilities. That ex you got away from hasn't changed b/c it's the holidays. Stay strong and firm. I am hoping for the best for all of you, us! Don't isolate yourself and be with friends, family if you can! 2
KCCK Posted December 24, 2013 Posted December 24, 2013 Spend this joyous festival with people who really cares for you... Your parents, family, relatives, friends and NOT YOUR EX... Stay strong, keep the faith and things will be better... Merry Christmas everyone.. =) 1
Author lauri Posted December 24, 2013 Author Posted December 24, 2013 lauri how are going on bro? everything ok? i am getting a relapse. it sucks. i hope its the end of my bumpy path All is going well!!! I maintained NC for about 3 months and eventually broke it for one day - told my ex how I felt again and it kind of pushed me over the edge to get better believe it or not. Its honestly all in your hands - you have all the power in your own hand. Why did you relapse? I would do what is best for you and avoid any more pain. Merry Christmas and Happy new year!

Your ex hasn't changed due to the holidays - they are just looking for a way to get your attention and speak with you.
deponie12 Posted December 24, 2013 Posted December 24, 2013 I got a voice mail- I do not respond. No contact has helped me heal like nothing before. I tried to break free from him years ago- this is the best Christmas ever! 3
sarbunoemi Posted December 24, 2013 Posted December 24, 2013 If he would contact me, I would reply with a simple "Thanks, you too.". If he would continue the conversation, I wouldn't respond. You did a great job with not responding back! Be proud!
