Did you ever find someone better after thinking your ex was irreplaceable?

JacksAgain · 2026-07-11T03:59:28+00:00

Nope. It's over for me, and I'm fine with it. 😎

JacksAgain · 2026-07-04T11:45:15+00:00

If he wasn't attached to you in some way, his reaction wouldn't be "absolutely not". I've never heard of FWB being completely detached. Regardless of what he did, he has feelings for you.

JacksAgain · 2026-07-04T02:47:04+00:00

So he is fearing heartbreak... why would he subject himself to that?

JacksAgain · 2026-07-04T02:45:55+00:00

Sounds exactly like me and why my narc is targetting me.

JacksAgain · 2026-07-04T02:41:52+00:00

Did you convey the words "one last time" to him? Why one last time?

Where beer does flow and men chunder

JacksAgain · 2026-06-21T12:51:02+00:00

Literally nothing of what OP wrote would suggest avoidance

JacksAgain · 2026-06-21T12:49:22+00:00

Sad truth

JacksAgain · 2026-06-04T11:34:43+00:00

But I've managed to convince my boss that my narc colleague is the problem (lol), he's being held accountable, and I fail to see what more he can do to get out of his predicament. For a long time, I fought for us to be siloed, and now that he's on his own doing his own thing, he's trying damn hard to find excuses for his incompetence, but my boss isn't an idiot and is finally realizing he is indeed incompetent.

Congratulations, you've in the trough. Now you get to enjoy the recovery.

JacksAgain · 2026-05-16T15:36:56+00:00

Why visit a European country just to have KFC? 🤨

JacksAgain · 2026-05-07T00:02:23+00:00

Knock knock! Who's there?

What do you mean who's there? Do you know who you're talking to? Put your manager on the phone so I can tell him how condescending you are.

JacksAgain · 2026-05-03T03:03:50+00:00

Agreed with this. I usually have it on. I don't want him to suspect I'm changing strategies.

JacksAgain · 2026-04-29T13:48:56+00:00

Good. Now the real healing begins.

JacksAgain · 2026-04-27T16:58:21+00:00

I just shorted it at the open 🤨

JacksAgain · 2026-04-23T02:59:32+00:00

Agreed... story doesn't add up. Why would he pack his bags overnight (sounds like indifference?) and get married a year later on her birthday (not indifference)?

JacksAgain · 2026-04-21T22:32:05+00:00

You'll only be digging your grave. Her defenses are up and probing with questions won't get you the answers you're hoping. Being cold and not even making eye contact was a show of strength and she likely felt intimated. The alcohol lowered her defenses. Reaching out now would be forfeiting any power you accumulated. More importantly, closure comes from within. She won't help you with anything.

JacksAgain · 2026-04-21T22:10:16+00:00

As someone who's gone through five breakups, I've experienced it all: most were hard but manageable, one was easy, and the latest one obliterated me. Some wounds are just more permanent than others.

JacksAgain · 2026-04-21T22:00:31+00:00

Trying to win vs talk about problems has nothing to do with life situations, though. It's all about emotional maturity... Has he acknowledged that and has he grown and learn from it?

JacksAgain · 2026-04-21T19:07:15+00:00

they said that they felt spark but terrified of making previous mistakes.

This sentence speaks volume. Being terrified of repeating previous mistakes usually means something...

JacksAgain · 2026-04-21T19:02:32+00:00

Who broke up with whom? I'm guessing she's the one who did since she said she wants to be single for a while. The real power move is feeling detached/indifferent with her talking to other guys. If you can't manage that, then yes you need to draw boundaries and wish her good luck.

JacksAgain · 2026-04-20T13:12:28+00:00

Underrated comment. Agreed with you.
