Guest Posted December 5, 2006 Posted December 5, 2006 I have always been use to talking to my ex. We just broke up a week ago. things had been going downhill bc he moved out of state and he didn't seem to even care that we had not seen each other in over a month. Up until last Sunday when we broke up we were still talking every single night b4 I would go to bed. It was so hard not hearing from him or talking to him every night. I thought I was doing so good. Today made exactly 8 days without contact and then for some crazy reason I called him this morning. He didn't answer and I didn't leave a message but of course my # popped up in missed calls. argh I was so mad and disappointed in myself. Well approximately 30 minutes later my cell phone started ringing it was him, I just panicked and I didn't answer it, my friend was there but she didn't know I had tried calling him earlier. She was yelling at me to answer it bc she knew i wanted to talk to him. By the time I decided to pick up it was too late. Then immediately it started ringing again. I did answer it. He had actually worked on a laptop for me here while back and told me it needed a new battery, well stupid me started rattling off about how I bought a new battery and it still will not charge, etc. etc. and ask him what else it could be? He ask me if that is why I had called earlier and I said yes. I am such a big idiot, we talked for about 45 minutes and then I told him I needed to get back to work. I didn't ask him any personal questions and I didn't tell him how I really felt, etc. but he did ask me some personal questions and I couldn't lie, I actually did go on a date last night, it just made me miss him even more. However I told him everything was going great. I was upset after I got off the phone bc he didn't mention anything about missing me or anything. So go ahead everyone tell me how stupid and pathetic I am.
Spinderella Posted December 5, 2006 Posted December 5, 2006 Its not stupid or pathetic. If it has been going on for a long time and you felt very disrespected, then I think you did more than fine, and don't worry about it. Just leave it for awhile. If you feel worse now, then use that to help you stick to NC again.
theadventure50120 Posted December 5, 2006 Posted December 5, 2006 Yeah , everyone makes that one call , but once they do it they realize it wasn't worth it. You learn from your own mistakes. You have to experience it yourself to realize it. I see no problem with what you did , just don't do it again.
Krytellan Posted December 6, 2006 Posted December 6, 2006 I say Kudos to you. That seems like a totally appropriate way to handle things. Most importantly, you kept your pride at all times. During break-ups, we sometimes have nothing but pride left when it's all over. Don't let go of that and you'll be great!!!
