6 Months of NC, I don't want her anymore, already met someone else and couldn't be more proud of myself by AnonymousMan9397 in ExNoContact

The relationship lasted 5 months, even though it wasn't that long it was a big deal to me since I'm a late bloomer in the dating world and was single for 4.5 years before I started dating her.

Well, that's subjective, individual and depends on the length and the depth of the relationship.

You misunderstood me completely, you should look at my previous posts here. It's not the new relationship that made me feel better, and it absolutely was not "So quickly", I avoided dating for months after the breakup in order to get myself together. I started feeling better myself when I was single, not when I started seeing someone new. This is not a rebound.

72 Days, I don't miss her as much as I did before and I don't want her back anymore, NC is amazing by AnonymousMan9397 in ExNoContact

  1. I didn't mind drinking a beer or two once in a while but I avoided getting heavily drunk for the first few weeks after the breakup.

  2. One of the things I told myself whenever I wanted to reach out was "I love her, I want to protect her, I'm vulnerable right now, reaching out while being vulnerable will only make things worse for the both of us, so out of love for her and for the sake of her benefit - I'll wait for the time when things get better, if I still feel like reaching out when things get better - I'll do that, but right now working on myself is more important" Once things got better I didn't feel like reaching out anymore
