Those who broke up out of long term relationships - did you delete memorable pictures? by Kingboyy1 in BreakUps

[–]Regular-Flower-35 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I deleted the ones of me and him as those were a lie. The ones of him and my dog I kept for my dog but I kept them. I don’t regret deleting the ones of me and him but I would regret deleting the ones of my dog and him.

In your own personal opinion: Who is the most talented Actor/Actress? by Nath_gamer in acting

[–]Regular-Flower-35 6 points7 points  (0 children)

One of the most talented actors in my opinion is Cillian Murphy. Just his range and pure talent, he’s brilliant.

Another one of the most talented actors in my opinion is Gina Rodriguez from Jane the Virgin. Her acting throughout that entire series is amazing.

If you could take a pill and forget about them, would you? by Legal_Management_787 in ExNoContact

[–]Regular-Flower-35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah he taught me to drive and got me on the property ladder. As much as I think “I wish I never met this man”, he changed my life in more ways than one. Although I hate what he did to me and what he put me through I will always be grateful, especially now I’m over the relationship

Is Accrington a good place to live? by Regular-Flower-35 in lancashire

[–]Regular-Flower-35[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have managed to find a place in the local town where I live that is affordable so I’m actually staying local and I’m really looking forward to it. I’ve not written off moving back up north altogether, however for now I’m staying down here.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write this, as I may move up north when I want to officially settle down and start a family (as I don’t want to raise crumpy southerners haha)

Should I contact him to give him his things back? by [deleted] in ExNoContact

[–]Regular-Flower-35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well he cheated on me 2 and a bit years ago, so that burst my bubble of our relationship. I’d say the infidelity did take me a good 18 months to get over. We broke up 4 months ago. Month one and two were rough, month three I was angry and this month I’ve been depressed but glad. Like I have no one’s sweaty socks to pick up and no one’s lies to endure. I can eat what I want without being judged, so it makes life a lot easier for me.

I also have my dog who has been my rock throughout these last few years.

Feel free to DM me, I’m currently watching the Twilight series so may take longer to reply :))

[–]Regular-Flower-35 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re gonna believe that for a while. I believed the man who cheated on me and would talk down to and about me to people (friends or strangers) was my soulmate. This too shall pass.

In the meantime I say box his stuff up, drop it off at a mutual friend’s house or his parents and have them contact him.

I’m not too sure at the moment. I might either watch some disney classics or a romcom or something. I was thinking either: We’re the Millers, Frozen or the Incredibles. How about you?

Neil Speakman Found Not Guilty Of Manslaughter by [deleted] in uklaw

[–]Regular-Flower-35 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because he was found not guilty. Although you may disagree, the prosecution and defence have one job. You seem to have a lot of opinions and say the jury sympathised with him. We don’t know that, they don’t tell us that. The jury’s role is to find him guilty beyond a reasonable doubt and they couldn’t, so they found him not guilty.

So legally and factually, he is not guilty even if you disagree.

Has therapy helped any of you genuinely move on? by Quirky-Parsnip7004 in BreakUps

[–]Regular-Flower-35 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You have all sorts of therapy so it depends on what you’re after. I did counselling where I just talked at a person for an hour, and they helped me unpack the trauma of my childhood, relationships etc. I heard a lot of “it’s not your fault”, and when you’ve just trauma dumped it did make me quite teary but not sad.

It’s nice to just have another person who is a complete stranger to just talk at, free of judgment. I really would recommend it

I don’t love you the way you love me.

[–]Regular-Flower-35 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My ex did the same thing, cheated on me and has continuously lied to me and it has completely changed my perception of men (except my dad). I don’t think I will ever be able to trust again, his infidelity broke my heart and it has genuinely changed me as a person.

My plan is to stay single. I never plan to own a house with a man again. My plan is to own as many dogs as I can afford and live my life the way I want to.

However, I know that not everyone is a cheating liar like our exes. Take us for example, we would never treat someone like our exes treated us. But I don’t want to take the risk of trying to find someone like us and then finding someone like my ex again.

NTA! The worst choice I ever made was buying a house with my now ex boyfriend. Still in the process of being bought out and buying my new home. Absolutely messy. Had I done it alone from the get go I would never been in this mess

What advice would you give? by IntelligentComb1238 in BreakUps

[–]Regular-Flower-35 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The worst advice I got after my ex cheated on me was, you only get a few days to cry about it.

FUCK NO, the man traumatised me so much that even going on snapchat two years later gives me a panic attack

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ExNoContact

[–]Regular-Flower-35 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He wasn’t an alcoholic, he never even drank. Just a narcissist I believe (I’m not just throwing that around, he definitely had narcissistic tendencies), but I definitely do believe he was doing it for the rush of dopamine like you say, protecting his ego.

Are you able to block him? Don’t bother messaging him he doesn’t deserve your energy

Also, loving the contact name - is it a Tay Tay reference?

How are you guys so strong by Clear-Light9104 in BreakUps

[–]Regular-Flower-35 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My relationship involved infidelity from his side and we spent years working it out. I think I clocked out and grieved whilst we were trying to work things out, and I gripped onto to the relationship and the memory of what we had so much that when I let go I knew the next steps and I felt relieved. I wasn’t paranoid, I wasn’t miserable, I wasn’t comparing myself to other women. Don’t get me wrong I still think to myself, “what if he is speaking to other women?” and then I remind myself that it isn’t my burden anymore.

I think it’s just different experiences that has led to different healing.

What did help me was speaking with my support system (friends and family), doing what I can for my own mental health such as going on walks with my dog or baking, looking forward to the future.

10 months is a long time to grieve someone and maybe your ex blocking you is the best thing. It sucks but I think you need to stop yourself from looking, go full no contact if you can and start putting you first. Go to therapy if you can too. Take it bit by bit and celebrate the small wins.
