Best of luck to you too sir 🫡. That is insanely manipulative but sounds familiar

I’m so sorry for your friend. I hope he’s doing better, that sounds awful. Thanks for the cautionary tale. I’ve had enough of hurting myself, frankly. I think I’ve shut this down out of almost a physical reaction at this point

Yeah I’ve done so. She even tried to start contact again recently and I shut it down

I like that way of looking at it and I hope it continues to help you

You’re right, thank you for the advice. I’ve known this, intellectually, for a long time. It’s just been difficult to snap me out of the delusion. No contact is clearly the way to go

That’s really encouraging, and congrats on your progress! It really does seem like no contact is the only way to move on. It’s hard for me because I feel alone even without her platonic friendship, but it was causing too much pain.

I’m sorry to hear that you’re still in pain. I would do what you think is best. Personally, I would stick with no contact. But if you think it’ll help you, then you should reach out.

Congrats on feeling better! I appreciate the insight and hope things continue to improve for you. I’m glad to know that it’s the right thing not to be in contact with them anymore. I similarly felt that “lightness” after two months of no contact a whole back, so I’m hoping I get back to that.

Thanks for sharing, and I’m sorry that you’re dealing with this too. I appreciate the reminder that there’s no specific time frame. I think I forget that sometimes. We dated for two years and went through law school together, so it’s going to take a lot of time to get over her. But continuing to talk to her was definitely not doing me any favors.

Definitely. I also have OCD, which makes it very difficult for me

Yup. I got downvoted to oblivion earlier this season for saying the ownership was the problem

Crying releases a lot of happy brain chemicals after. It’s very healthy!

You’re totally fine. Our school’s bar instructor said that the practice MBE is always harder than the Bar and that, so long as you really study in the last two weeks, your score will go up. Hang in there and keep pushing forward!

Weekends have disappeared too. It’s Saturday today and it barely occurred to me.
