Elliejayde Posted August 23, 2016 Posted August 23, 2016 I've just left my ex. I made a decision I wasn't going to see him, But, no, I'm an idiot who can't stay away. We had a great evening together. We went out for drinks, and breakfast this morning. We didn't talk about us getting back together. We laughed. A lot. We kissed. We held hands. We did what we do every time, and to anyone looking in we're a normal happy loved up couple who can't keep our hands off each other. Except that's not what we are. We've been over for 4 months and still neither of us lets go. We've both tried, numerous times. But we come back. Today I'm letting go. I can't keep putting myself through this heartbreak to this extent. I love him so I'm letting him go. I'm broken, but i need to heal.

Be NIKE -- Just Do It.
KristyD Posted August 23, 2016 Posted August 23, 2016 I had to do something similar last week... still kinda sucks to let go of those final shreds of hope.
Formerfiveo Posted August 23, 2016 Posted August 23, 2016 Sometimes breaking up is a process, especially if you still enjoy each other's company - friendship or physical. You will end things once and for all when the pain of being with him is greater than the pain of being single. I hope you've had enough pain and torment and #5 is the charm because now you can start to heal. Sending positive vibes your way.
Author Elliejayde Posted August 23, 2016 Author Posted August 23, 2016 Whats wrong with the RL that you want out? He broke up with me the beginning of this year!!
aj2124 Posted August 23, 2016 Posted August 23, 2016 May I ask what encouraged you make the decision to end the relationship? What kinds of things are you doing to ensure you don't go back this time? Physical intimacy has the power to bond you to someone and make you unable to view that person in a rational light. I've experienced this effect myself and stayed in several unhealthy relationships without realizing exactly why I was so stuck. I know this sounds like a crazy, old-fashioned idea but that is part of the reason I am waiting for marriage to allow that kind of intimacy. I don't want to be fooled again. It will take time for the bonding effect to wear off. Praying for clarity in this situation
