this time of the year is brutal for all of us dumpees. Yesterday, I had the text ready to send to my ex and fought with myself over sending it for over an hr. So glad I didn't. Cheers to everyone who stayed strong, letting Christmas pass without contact was a milestone. Here's to more recovery and a happy new year'

Well done! I think it's a good idea to type or write it out but not send it. Saves you bottling it all up inside.

 

Christmas is gone, now just wait for New Years! Stay strong everyone! :D

And me!!!! And I have to say, being on here is helping my resolve massively.

 

I do wonder though how many genuine, nice people seem to end up with not so nice people, and how much of it is our perspective when hurt?

Congrats :) I like this term, "milestone".

I saw my wife Xmas eve and it was nice.

 

I texted her Merry Christmas last night and got no response, but don't regret it.

 

I took the high road (and before people bash me that there is no high road, I say there is!)

 

Guess what? I already decided to wish her a happy new year next week.

 

To those of you who maintained radio silence this Christmas and feel good about it, Salud! If that was what you want, then more power to you!

 

Maybe I'm a fool, but as long as I wish to feel good about myself, I will always be true to my heart.

 

Ken...the fool :rolleyes:

I am already feeling the pain and anxiety I felt when I did the same.

 

Never again.

 

What is your motive for doing so?

well done, guys !!!

 

I made it as well.. no Christmas and NO NYE, hurraaayyyy !!!!

 

I said no to his request to have drinks a few weeks ago and was acting all cool and mates like! Hell I was even supposed to organize some drinks with him and some of our common friends to celebrate my promotion... since we're mates and all... keep waitin', sucker, haha! I'll do somethin' low key after the winter hols are over and... yeah, you've guessed it, his name is NOT on the invites list.

 

I am seeing other people, I'd lie if I said that it does not help or keep my mind busy. I had a quiet, calm, chilled, relaxed Christmas. I deserved it ! And I'll have a blast for NYE. And with a bit of luck, I'll even find me a cute guy to kiss me for good luck ;) !

I was tempted to send a nice "Merry Christmas, ya filthy animal" meme but resisted. I'm still feeling tempted to text him - its the 1 year mark since the breakup and it feels so fresh and everything is swirling around in my head. I'm so upset and angry.
