amytct Posted April 9, 2005 Posted April 9, 2005 I'm continuing to read everyone's posts and gaining some strength knowing that I'm not alone. However, I'm also dealing with reading how many of you are still maintaining some type of contact with your ex, some even on a friendly basis. My ex broke up with me through the silent treatment, hasn't attempted to contact me in almost two weeks and I know he's not going to. He just doesn't care and is never going to give me the resolution that I wanted. I'm happy to say though that I'm doing Ok. At this time last weekend, I kept telling myself this weekend would be a bit better, and it has been. I have my moments where I feel incredibly lonely, but it eventually passes. I've been watching a lot of DVDs...thank goodness for Netflix.
vickimonster Posted April 10, 2005 Posted April 10, 2005 hey there, glad to hear you are doing ok. You have to take each day as it comes. I know that feeling. I think staying friends with your ex has its pluses and minuses as does your ex having no contact with you at all. It is all swings and roundabouts. I hope things continue to go well. You will have low days, but you seem to be coping really well. Well done you! Take care and stay strong.
Fallen_Angel Posted April 10, 2005 Posted April 10, 2005 Amy, I know exactly what you mean. It's a little comforting knowing I'm not completely alone, even if you are all virtual strangers. Pain is universal. At the moment I'm working on almost 2 full days since I last contacted my ex. It's been exactly a week and I knew the weekend would be the toughest part, since that's the only time I really got to spend with him because he is busy at school. But I saw some friends this weekend, and that helped immensely. If your ex doesn't care, I think you're really better off without him. He sounds like scum. A decent guy would at least try to leave you with some sense of closure (not total closure, obviously, because I think such a thing is not at all possible). I'm also having moments where I feel almost indifferent/numb, followed by moments of intense pain and anguish. Sigh. DVDs are wonderful! I caught the last half hour of School Ties on USA this morning. It should be almost illegal for so many cute guys to be in one movie: Brendan Frasier, Chris O'Donnell, Matt Damon, Ben Affleck...yum! Hehe. Vicki's right: take things one day at a time. That's what I'm striving to do. Good luck.
Ty Posted April 10, 2005 Posted April 10, 2005 If he can't actually be mature enough to respect your feelings, sit down, and give you the truth as to why he broke up to you, then you definately don't need him.. Thats just awful to just stop talking to you and not give you any closure. You'll find a guy alot more decent than that..
