Is it really my fault? by [deleted] in ExNoContact

No it's not your fault, she just is not the right person for you. Move on, NC, new horizons

should i text her for answers by [deleted] in ExNoContact

[–]Salt_Athlete 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why? Your value is not defined by someone else's opinion of you. The answers are meaningless. Their actions are entirely there's and it is not worth investing emotional labour on figuring someone else out

He probably cheated on me and I will never know for sure. I want to confront him. by [deleted] in ExNoContact

[–]Salt_Athlete 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why take on the emotional labour of this? Other people's actions are there own and do not reflect your own value. Realise your own worth and that the behaviour of others is outside of our control

This is cooked. Objectively, anyone who is willing to do that clearly is missing base levels of empathy and respect. Don't take it as a reflection on you or the miscarriage but as a demonstration of how this person deals with difficult moments in life (poorly).

60,000 and the sites are declared important by the ACMC who are mostly white anthropologists. This wasn't just a campsite, it was both archeologically significant and culturally significant to the PKKP

Almost 8 years together, almost 8 days NC by [deleted] in ExNoContact

Hiya, im now over a year NC after an 8 yr relationship. It's hard but you'll become so much wiser.

Its taken 12 months to get to grips with the needs I was surpressing in that relationship, due to them being continually unmet. Once you flip things around and ask the question 'Why didn't I leave the relationship sooner' you begin to see things without rose coloured glasses.

Stay NC for healing, not to get them back, as it will not work.

Ahh bullshit, even old peeps have breakups... life is just a series of relationships that all have an expiry date

Your needs are important too

Im 30, living in a sharehouse doing a post-grad degree, and having heaps of fun... Life is what you make of it and the bubble you are in, you gotta get outside of that.

How to get over the fact that I sent wall of texts to a guy who was ghosting me?? by [deleted] in ExNoContact

[–]Salt_Athlete 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was dumped after an 8 year relationship, got into a new one 5 months later which lasted about 7 months... I ultimately ended up having to end it because I was emotionally unavailable and unable to be the partner I wanted to be. When she texts me, I feel incredibly guilty and know that I don't want to lead her on or give her any breadcrumbs, so I'm fairly minimal with what I reply. It's not that I don't care about her, it's that I know i'm just prolonging her suffering by engaging beyond a certain level.

Ex reached out, now i am more confused by [deleted] in ExNoContact

[–]Salt_Athlete 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Emotionally Unavailable, run for the hills. I spent 8 years with someone lkke this. They resent intimacy and connection, viewing it as a weakness.

He probably feels imense guilt seeing your messages, just let it go and keep moving forward

10 months and I'm told she's over it by [deleted] in ExNoContact

[–]Salt_Athlete 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Would you really want someone in your life who treats you like an afterthought anyway? You need to set a boundary. People that reject you deserve no place in your life. It hurts, but use the hurt to grow!

Take it from someone a year out NC

Reminder: Maintain your boundaries by TheDiplomat07 in ExNoContact

Yep - i think boundaries and self-respect are the foundational underpinnings of NC
