for me.... it's been almost a week of no contact at all... before this it was on and off for a while but it doesn't make this any easier... I'm
losing my mind... he's been a complete asshole to me and yet I still miss him like crazy... Today is extra hard for some reason and I've been getting
the urge to call or send him a text but my pride just won't let me do it thank God.... I wanna go out or something but all my friends are spending the
night with their significant others which is not helping the situation...

I credit my ex with cutting off contact with me - he told me it'd be easier if we didn't have any contact with each other and he was right. I hated him
for it at the time but it's really best.
It seems like the worst possible thing right now because all you want to do is call him or text him but in the long run, it's best. When we broke up I thought my world was crashing down and like all things, it takes time. There's a book called It's Called A Breakup Because it's broken and if you haven't read it already, it's worth your investment. It got me through that break-up and I've been passing it around to my girlfriends ever since. |

Find something to busy yourself with. For me it was baseball. Sounds stupid but putting my energy into that made me completely get over him. Don't get me
wrong, it took me close to a year to do it....but once I did it was done. And I realize that I was mostly wanting to call or text him because I didn't
understand how he could just cut contact like that and not feel any sense of loss that I was no longer in his life. Now I realize that that is exactly what he
did....and it makes him an asshole of epic proportions and one of the biggest reasons we never should've been together to begin with.
And now....he's trying to contact me and I am getting much enjoyment out of ignoring it. |

It's not easy. I feel your pain. Believe me I do. But believe that you will find someone else again, and no matter how hard or sad you are, remember you
deserve Happiness, Peacefulness and good in your life.
Enotalone was a site I read a lot. Loveshack.org also. I'm not too sure what's going on with my current relationship, it's rough on me too even though we're still together. Sometimes they are rough patches, and sometimes it truly isn't meant to be. Just remember to be a little kind to yourself. Try barnes and noble and read up on stuff, whether it be books on stuff you like, or dealing with a break up etc. It helps a little. |

Think back to something that you did before you met him that you really enjoyed and didn't have much of a chance to do anymore (be it a sport/dance/type of
exercise/travel/anything), and focus on it again. Spend time with friends. KEEP BUSY, it's key. Go to the bookstore and buy some books. After a 3 1/2 year
breakup I read A LOT. I also kept a journal for when I had the urge to contact him. I felt that it really helped me a lot and helped fight off the urge to
contact him. Just remember that things will get better, but that it takes time. One day you'll look back on it and realize how much better off you are now.

You post this thread when he's lurking around on these boards? All you're gonna do is boost his ego!

I was never one for keeping track of anniversaries and all that junk

It's said that it usually takes about half the time you were together to get over someone. So if you were with him for a little over a year it will
probably take you 6 months until you feel completely over him. Sad but true. Stay busy doing things with friends. Pick up a new hobby that you will have fun
doing. It really does help. Whatever you do, don't look at his MySpace or Facebook etc. It will only keep those feelings lingering.
