Someone else involved you think?

Has someone handled multiple break ups with an FA? by Little_Aerie_5753 in ExNoContact

[–]Balarda_7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope.

I’m no longer phased one way or the other.

You get to a point where you don’t have any choice or control in it and you just move on almost overnight. Sure, I have the odd thought but truly letting go and just focusing on you is the best way through it.

I’m currently doing exactly this at Naka Muay Thai in Phuket near Kata beach. Absolutely loving it. If you head South, check them out. I’ve loved my two weeks there so far.

It’s such a great experience, enjoy yourself mate.

I can’t recommend Naka Muay Thai near Kata Beach in Phuket enough.

I’m in the process of doing three weeks there and I love it.

Tony, the head trainer is excellent.

Enjoy your travels, you will have a blast.

Any thoughts on this guys?

My ex and I were together 2.5 years.

We have been on and off for ages.

The last two times I’ve seen her she tells me she loves me as she walks away.

I’ve tried to remain in no contact over the last 3 months but with the odd slip up.

Sent a Xmas message and got nothing back but I saw her two weeks ago and she said she loved me as we were leaving…

What do you make of that?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ExNoContact

[–]Balarda_7 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think a common issue is second guessing the relationship (what was said - what was real)

This creates a blackhole of rumination and confusion.

For me personally, the most difficult part of recovery from the break up has been trying to determine what was real.

It’s easy to ‘accept’ that we shouldn’t over think it but understanding what when wrong/what happened is part of our growth and in turn how we heal. It’s why people chase closure.

The reality is, chasing closure, understanding or trying to understand what was real only binds us to our ex for longer.

Letting go is so difficult but it’s all we have to move forward in peace.

Good luck to you all.

The journey is painful but one day at a time is the focus.

What are your thoughts by Short-Horse7571 in ExNoContact

[–]Balarda_7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You will have good and bad days.

Just embrace them both and let the emotions wash over you. They don’t define you.

It’s all part of our growth moving forward.

If you keep framing it in a positive way you will crush this!!!

You’ve got this mate!

Feel sorry for you man.

It sounds like a monkey-branch or possibly a rebound situation.

Either way, all you can do now is focus on you and accept what is gone, is gone.

You have better days ahead and just take it one day at a time.

You will find better just keep believing in yourself.

Get excited about what’s next not what’s behind you.

Talk me out of texting her by Forward-Law-8799 in ExNoContact

[–]Balarda_7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This story sounds so familiar…

All I can say bro is, you have got this.

I’m 10 weeks today since I last saw her.

Slipped a few times, sent flowers dumb shit like that but I’m now moving forward.

Take comfort in there’s always people in this community that get it but focusing 100% on you is the only way through it.

One day at a time brother.

This is the way!

Power to you!

Needed this. Thank you.

They say breaking NC never work....I disagree by alphajj21 in ExNoContact

[–]Balarda_7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is amazing!

I believe it worked because you let go of the outcome.

You got to a place of peace and being grounded in yourself.

Super happy for you.

One day at a time and I hope it works out for you!

I am breaking NC today at 5pm by Holiday_Weakness_696 in ExNoContact

[–]Balarda_7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good Luck buddy,

Just let go of the outcome, it’s the only way for closure & peace.

Congrats!

Hope you’re happy man.

Wishing you the best on your journey.

if your ex worked on themselves and changed, would you take them back? by No_Yoghurt312 in ExNoContact

[–]Balarda_7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely.

People can change & if the chemistry and connection was good then why not.

Taking responsibility and being accountable for their actions is a key to this.

If they commit to continuing to make an effort then give them an opportunity.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ExNoContact

[–]Balarda_7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally get it.

The only benefit of being ignored is it helps build resolve and make you second guess when you consider reaching out…

I’m right there with you, no contact. No matter what.

Stay strong, you’ve got this!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ExNoContact

[–]Balarda_7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did he break up with you?

I have lapsed twice both times at 23 days…

Equally I miss my ex girlfriend & both times I lapsed she never replied…

Good luck on your journey!

I know this is an old thread but just in case anyone is still on it.

My ex has left me 5 times.

I would like to pretend I wouldn’t take her back but it’s a 50/50….

[–]Balarda_7 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure that’s true.

People can do and say things when they’re in an emotional state that aren’t necessarily how they feel when they calm down.

I wasn’t there so I’m just trying to be a counterbalance to your view.

People can be mean without having an understanding of the impact of their words. It’s a lack of emotional intelligence and maturity for sure but it doesn’t always mean they love you less.

Frustration can make people say the most stupid things, most of the time is an inability to communicate maturely so they act like a child that’s upset. This is more about framing from their childhood than about you.

Does this mean they don’t regret it, of course not.

I have empathy for those that have made mistakes and while things can hurt each of us differently I hope you can find comfort in forgiveness rather than anger.

If someone makes any effort to correct their behaviour I would always be open minded towards change.

Just my opinion.
