srhxo Posted September 14, 2016 Posted September 14, 2016 After being broken up for now two months and about three weeks of NC (by NC, I mean neither of us had messaged each other), I finally got up the courage to delete my ex off of facebook. It's actually probably been longer of NC than that, but I haven't been counting. I had kept him on there because he still has some of my things and I was hoping to get them back and fb is the only place I'm able to reach him. However, I've kinda given up on getting them back and don't really care at this point. I think if he sent them to me now, it would just put me back at day 1. I do feel incredibly sad, which I think is normal, but I know it'll help me in the long run. His birthday was on Monday and I resisted all urges to reach out to him. No "happy birthday" message, no "hope you're well"'s, nothing. So I guess that's something I should be proud of. Now, I just have to talk my brother into deleting him as well, which is going to be a chore in itself because he doesn't get why I need that. I've recently started talking to other guys again. Nothing serious and I definitely don't want to go out with any of them right now, but it's nice to flirt occasionally. But, I know there is obviously some part of me that misses my ex and will for a long time, so I think it's best that I don't go any further than flirting with other people. My self-esteem has been destroyed from this breakup so it feels good to be reminded that I'm not ugly like my brain is telling me. I just want to get better and I'm hoping this is the leap I needed to make in order to do so. Fingers crossed that I don't come home and cry about it later tonight lol. 3
DarrenB Posted September 14, 2016 Posted September 14, 2016 You're doing everything right; kudos to you definitely. Keep up what you're doing, don't dwell on him (not as if you were having a real issue doing that anyway!). It seems you're definitely in your final stages, and hopefully no fragile reminiscence appears anytime soon... well it won't if you don't let it! Good luck and enjoy your evening. Have a nice wine/beverage, watch a nice movie and relax. After all, you deserve it 1

I went out to a movie last night and afterwards I met up with a friend that I hadn't seen in about three years and we spent the whole night catching up and laughing about our relationship blunders; It was really nice to feel happy again and it was the first night that I didn't think about my ex at all. We have plans to hang out again next week so if nothing else, it'll keep my mind off of things. 2
