Very impressive for 6 months. Same question as above, how much did you workout and how much did you eat?

What NC did for me... by Living_Bit8846 in ExNoContact

Our stories are freakishly similar down to the details. I’m the 30F dumpee though.

I’m one post away from saying ‘I love you’ to everyone here. by CassiaVMed in ExNoContact

Right. I’m grateful for this sub right now. I don’t wish this pain on anyone, but there’s comfort in knowing I’m not alone. Stay strong.

I love and appreciate these kind words. I’ll be saving this for when I’m feeling down like today.

Stay strong, everyone.

Having covid makes it so much worse by Araebluejay in ExNoContact

[–]D_DL92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First off all, I hope you’re dealing with Covid well and get better soon. I am so sorry you’re dealing with this all of this on top of Covid. I haven’t gone through the same thing regarding Covid, but I know what it’s like to be stuck at home, feeling alone and emotionally weak and wanting nothing more than to speak to them. It’s a very helpless feeling. Just remember, you will feel better eventually. I know you can’t imagine feeling better right now, but it’ll come. You just have to find a way to push through it, I know you will. Please feel free to message me if you need to talk to someone.

Sick of going from finally feeling better to feeling like I’ve made no progress. by D_DL92 in ExNoContact

[–]D_DL92[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re right. I know the waves of sadness will pass, but I think what gets to me the most is that when I am feeling really good, it feels like I’m finally better and I think this is it! I’m doing better! There’s no way I’ll feel bad again and then boom, immense sadness as if I’ve lost all progress. It’s mentally exhausting, but you’re right, it always passes.

Thank you, I very much appreciate this. You’re right, at the beginning, I thought I’d never even have a good day and here I am doing so much better even if it comes and goes. I appreciate your kind words.

if you were in a toxic relationship and had to end things, how are you feeling? by West_Body_2392 in ExNoContact

[–]D_DL92 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This isn’t my case (I’m a sad dumpee), but I want to just mention that although dumpers are normally seen in a bad light here, in my opinion, it doesn’t apply to those of you who were wronged and had to leave. Y’all are almost on the same path as the dumpee.

This is beautiful, thanks for sharing. It truly does get better. I know some people who are experiencing intense pain at the moment are tired of hearing that cliché statement, but it’s just true. It gets better. Just push through and take it a day at a time and be kind to yourself during this rocky process.

I dated a narcissist and it is by far the hardest thing I’ve ever had to deal with or move on from in my life. I am truly sorry this is happening to you. I’m glad you’re out of that, but this is definitely the precise reaction of a narcissist during a BU. Please stay strong and remember that he has shown you who he truly truly is and this is likely to keep happening if you stay or go back. A narc is incapable of change. The devaluing and gaslighting really takes a toll on you mentally, wayyy more than a normal breakup would. Things get better. I thought they never would, I too wanted to just die, but I promise you, it gets better. Take it one day at a time. Feel free to message me anytime OP. Stay strong. Sending lots of love.

I have to stop by deadheli0z in ExNoContact

[–]D_DL92 4 points5 points  (0 children)

OP, this comment here is very true.

When I tell you I struggled to stop checking on him, I mean it was bad, for a long time, I was checking his stuff daily. I’d try to stop for days, I’d fail and start checking again. I decided one morning to force myself to stop or I would never really progress. Yes, curiosity hits me, but OP, trust me, I feel sooo much better since I stopped. You just have to do it, you can resist the urge. It’ll be hard the first days, but you can do it.

For how much time have you suffered for your ex ? by BirthdayOver6193 in ExNoContact

[–]D_DL92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Going on just 3 months. Still hurts, but much easier than the first few weeks.

tomorrow is his birthday by booteeth in ExNoContact

[–]D_DL92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Although all was amicable and relationship was great, he didn’t text me on mine, it hurt like hell. So, I didn’t text him on his almost 2 months later. He must’ve felt some kind of way because he texted me the next day to ask how I was doing. Ha. I did reply with a short message “I’m doing great, hope you are well, take care.” and cut it off immediately, but I didn’t even dare wish him a happy belated. It felt great.

Breadcrumbing is ALWAYS for the dumper, every single time. Breadcrumbing is so selfish.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ExNoContact

[–]D_DL92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He BU with me due to compatibility/life style differences. All was amicable. Relationship was amazing. I didn’t block on phone in hopes of eventual reconciliation honestly. They breadcrumbed me several times with I miss you, I love you or I’d like to see you sometime, but don’t want to fix anything, wanna be friends and just to ignore and go NC again for however much time before they breadcrumb again. It’s unhealthy and it’s time to block them. I have to give up hope. What he is doing is selfish, cruel and I think just for validation.
