justash-x Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 Has anyone got any inspiring NC stories? Getting back together after NC, meeting someone else during NC or anything positive! I'm only on day 7 and struggling but I know it is for the best. I know NC isn't supposed to be done for getting your ex back but for working on yourself etc but I would really like to hear some positive stories
pickflicker Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 Only good things have come from going NC. Never bad. I have never felt like my life was less after going NC on an ex. It's always meant that I haven't dragged my past with me as I move forward in life. I have been criticised for my hard stance on NC, with people saying that I'm 'bitter', or that what if I'm missing an opportunity and that my ex might be 'The One'? The whole reason I'm not bitter, is because I leave my past in the past, and don't drag it with me into the future. As for 'The One' - they wouldn't have broken up with me, or I with them, if they were. I'm not an idiot. I know what real love looks like. They were not it. And if they're not it, they're wasting my time, and my energy, and quite frankly, I have more important things I'd rather focus. Hope that helps.
flightplan Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 Like Pick says, there is no negative to going full NC. It helps a great deal in moving forward. I'm 3+ months post NC and I'm doing really well. Well enough to have met someone else but nothing serious. We go out and have a good time but keep it light and enjoy each others company. I have never once thought about my ex while dating. If hadn't gone full NC, I'd still be hurting and wouldn't be open or available to other possibilities. I'd be sitting in a dark corner sucking my thumb, crying over someone who doesn't give a damn about the carnage she left behind. Screw that. 1
