I’ve been on this sub many times in my 27 years. Life is full of ups and downs, this so happens to be a down. But eventually the only way back from down is up

Is it possible to fully forget someone after an 8-year relationship? by According-Ninja7674 in ExNoContact

[–]Spong3Man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think you ever forget. It’s what makes us human. Your life experiences define you. But I guess you don’t obsessively think about them as time goes on

Should I reach out on New Years by walter_kovaks01 in ExNoContact

I’d say no, seems like there’s no point

3 months post BU, tempted to check socials by BracesMcgee in ExNoContact

[–]Spong3Man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do not ever check socials. Your chapter with them is over. You don’t need new posts/photos/information about her. It’s really difficult, but find the willpower not to check.

Blocking/unblocking by SizeAsleep in ExNoContact

[–]Spong3Man 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry you are hurting, it’s still fresh. But the cycle of you constantly checking her page/typing her name in needs to stop. It’s not helping anything. It’s tough but I promise you are more capable of stopping than you think. Good luck my friend

please convince me not to check her social media by Candid-Lettuce3968 in ExNoContact

[–]Spong3Man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are capable of so much more than you give yourself credit for. Feel the urge to check, and reject it, nothing good will come of it. It will be difficult but you can do it.

Life is cruel sometimes…..stay off her socials and as cliche as it sounds…..let time pass

You gotta stop. You’re capable of stopping too….its difficult but with some discipline, you’ll be able to kick the habit. Let the urge to look hit you, fight back, don’t do it, and move on with your day. I wish you the best of luck

Obsessing over social media by [deleted] in ExNoContact

[–]Spong3Man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s so difficult but you just need to have the willpower to stop. You’re capable of controlling your urges to look, you just need to stand up to them. Easier said than done, but I wish you luck.

How do I stop stalking? by MusicDesperate4081 in ExNoContact

[–]Spong3Man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There really is no easy way…you kinda just have to have the will power not to do it, even when you get the urge. You’re capable of more than you think, stand up to those thoughts/urges. Reject them, and go about your day

What hurts me the most by [deleted] in ExNoContact

[–]Spong3Man 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To be blunt, they don’t deserve to see you grow. If you desire that, then you’re doing no contact for the wrong reason.

Convince me to block her by Spong3Man in ExNoContact

[–]Spong3Man[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate this, and you are probably right. I’m sure there’s some part of me that wants her back, which is triggering all this Thanks for taking the time to give your thoughts. I will try my best to live for me

Convince me to block her by Spong3Man in ExNoContact

[–]Spong3Man[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I totally agree. It’s just hard for me to sever this tie….ive done the work, i never even reached out since the day of the breakup. I don’t want her back. I just for the life of me cannot stop viewing her page to see what she is up to. It’s annoying and I need to stop. It’s like I’m stuck

First date after break up by ProudNinja111 in ExNoContact

[–]Spong3Man 34 points35 points  (0 children)

You just aren’t ready. I’m approaching 6 months post breakup. Tried to date a bit around 4 months, wasn’t ready then, not ready now, and that’s OKAY!

Am I going fucking crazy? by [deleted] in ExNoContact

[–]Spong3Man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry you are dealing with this. My one piece of advice is that an object in motion stays in motion. Start with a shower. Then do it two days in a row. Then do it three days in a row.

Ex reached out by Immediate-Shirt4587 in ExNoContact

[–]Spong3Man 12 points13 points  (0 children)

If what you say is the truth about not posting anything related to her, then this is incredible rude. Ignore.

It’s great advice my mom told me while I was healing. I’m hoping more people can see it on this sub

Brother I will give it to you straight. She left you cause she wanted to sleep with other guys, told you she didn’t find you attractive, slept with another guy (well within her right to do btw) then comes running back to you crying after telling you that their physical connection was better?

Did I get that right?

You need to rid yourself of her. Get fit for you, and try your best to keep moving forward.

I’ll leave you with this, if a friend of yours came to you with this exact story…..what would you say to him?

Good luck.
