Hi Daphne. First off, I am so sorry for all the emotional pain and suffering you have gone through. Unfortunately, being that I am younger than you and got out of a relationship of only 1 year, I...

Like basil said, it doesn't matter if she understands or accepts it. What matters is that you did what you felt was right, and what you felt was needed to move on and relieve yourself of that stress...

I didn't listen to my mom when she babbled on, worried that my depression has come back. I didn't listen to my friends who couldn't understand why I was so anxious and nervous about everything, but...

Thank you for your response. The goal thing sounds interesting, I'll have to try that out. Right now, my biggest dilemma with reminiscing is the incessant wonder if/when I can contact him. I know I'm...

I don't think I was ready for the fling, either. The only good that came out of it was realizing the physical intimacy that was lacking in my past relationship, and how maybe my ex and I weren't...

Hey everyone. So, it's been about 56 days without contacting my ex. I DID respond very briefly to an email he sent me, just asking him to no longer send me emails. Counting that email, it's been 26...

You're going to have breakdowns, like ashley89 said. At first you'll have many terrible days and a few good ones, then it'll gradually shift to many good days and a few terrible ones, then those...

Thanks. You're both right. The fling was a one-time thing, because he lives in California while I live in Texas. He knew that I was leaving in a week and a half (over New Year's Eve), and I was...

My ex and I broke up back in November, the week of Thanksgiving. I had been a mess up to Christmas time, and went out and finally enjoyed a "fling" from New Years Eve to January 8th. I know that this...

Thank you! It means a lot to me :-) It's so interesting how "the right thing" is always so hard to do, but once you've done it, you feel a sense of relief and KNOW it was the correct decision in the...

Thank you so much. It really does mean a lot to me to get feedback from each and every one of you. Especially users, like you, who have talked with me and given me advice from day one. I have gone...

You're right, I think this all the time. I always wonder how he can be "so happy" and "better off" without me and not even care. But that shouldn't be my worry anymore, so I try to dismiss those...

Good luck! It's been difficult for me, and I falter from it all the time, but I try not to beat myself up about it, and I just start over again. You'll see. The first few times you snoop and see...

You're right. Later that afternoon I responded with this:

Hey J***,

I appreciate your wishing me a happy birthday, however, receiving messages from you is still a painful reminder of the ending...

... I responded "Thanks". I don't want to be mean. Not on my birthday. But I still am not sure if i should just let it go, or later on tell him that I'd like him to NOT contact me anymore, regardless...

So it's my birthday today :-D I am playing around on my new Macbook Pro (gift from my parents so I can work more efficiently when I telecommute), and all of a sudden one of my tabs with my email...

Hopefully! Good luck, stay strong!

I had an AMAZING new years, and for the first time since this whole thing, I went to bed AND woke up smiling and knowing that I'm better off and will have an amazing 2013 :-)

That is awesome! Congratulations. Unfortunately, if you read my previous comments you know I'm a social media coordinator, and therefore can't delete any of my social media accounts/applications due...

I agree with all of the above. If any guy bombarded me with 3+ texts (let alone 8), I would lose their number and be wary. If these texts were from last night, it's possible that he was drunk on NYE...

I'll look into it! I watched that movie a LONG while ago, but I don't really remember it.

You're right, I will be :-) I get stronger every day, even when I'm not realizing it. I look back on my...

I've actually never experienced that, but maybe that's because I attribute emotions to someone's attractiveness? When I peek at all my exes' new pictures years later, I always say to myself, "What on...

Aaaaand the ending of a sappy romance movie is exactly why you DON'T watch this crap when you're going through a break up! Darn it.

Today was a bad day as far as disengagement. It's on my list of...
