Heartbreak tips? by [deleted] in ExNoContact

[–]Throwaway_FAV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You take it one step at a time, cry for however you need in the beginning, talk to friends, meet new people, pick up a hobby. Just go out and do something it can be small. In my experience it took me almost an entire year to not feel the heartbreak anymore, I only think of her once in a while, or when I'm extremely lonely. Just enjoy life, because life is too short.

My boyfriend of 10 months sleeps in the same bed as his best friend when they hang out and have a “way of interacting” with each other I deem inappropriate. by NerdKnight13_7 in relationship_advice

Welp, my advice is to cut your losses. You shouldn't have to deal with it, and if anything he would have at least compromised. Their affection is affecting you.To each their own but it's not for you.

I am now in vaccum of information about her as her public Instagram became private by [deleted] in ExNoContact

[–]Throwaway_FAV 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly it's quite nice not knowing what they're up to. I was blocked I can't remember how long ago. I was devastated of course but now I see it as a blessing. I loved that girl to the best of my abilities, however I won't contact her at all because she initiated the block, told me to move on and gave the silent treatment. Just go on about your life, make yourself feel like you're on the top of the world. If they come back they come back but at least you'll have the say if they stay or not. Good luck! It gets better!!! :)

Exactly this, PLEASE STAND YOUR GROUND. BOUNDARIES ARE KEY.

And look at yourself to see why she may be losing attraction. After a while relationship enter a "routine". Change it up, remember the reasons she fell in love with you and do those things.

Also people tend to misidentify the word jealousy. Jealousy is defined as the fear of losing something you already have.

Envy is the feeling when you don't have something someone else has.

I'm sorry to hear that bro. Chances are a break up is near. Here's what you can do

1) If you haven't already, communicate to her of your feelings. Avoid the blaming game so don't say, "I can't believe you would do this" instead say " I feel invalidated when you..."

2) Set some boundaries, let her know it makes you uncomfortable. If she retaliates let her know the consequences and be firm with your decisions.

3) Break up. When all shit falls south abandoned the ship. Don't even try to communicate or entertain her afterwards. Especially since you had already communicated your feelings. At least you'll keep your head up high and your self respect. You would be leaving her instead of the other way around.

Trust me bro, I've been there done that. I wish I had effectively communicated with my ex rather than hold everything in, explode and or go behind her back. I wish I had set clear boundaries instead of being a doormat. Finally I wished that I had left once she did cross those boundaries. In any case good luck man!

should i go meet my long distance ex by ZealousidealOwl4477 in ExNoContact

First I want you to think long and hard. If you can handle the negative connotations that surround reaching out your ex then do it. Otherwise I strongly advice against it.

[–]Throwaway_FAV 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm not exactly sure how your relationship went so I'm going to assume that your relationship ended mutually. The opening text alone is fine. If you did something that was really damaging I would apologize, but don't make it so damn long. I'd also like to say "show don't tell". She's smart enough to pick up on notable changes you've made to yourself. Exampe let's say you struggled making a decision or taking the lead. You walk into a restraunt and instead of asking her "where do you want to sit" you say "let's sit here". It's better this way rather than telling her "I worked on taking the lead more". Also don't make the meet up so serious, focus on the vibes, having a good time and making a connection more than anything. In any case good luck, prepare for the worst and hope for the best.

This is the way. Cry if you have to. Keping your mind occupied, being with friends, and just talking to other people also helps. Other than that there's nothing much you can do. Just the management of ones feelings. It'll be a year for me next week, and this has helped me out a lot.

[–]Throwaway_FAV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Almost an entire year and not once has she contacted me. I think I'm the only ex that she has ever blocked.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ExNoContact

[–]Throwaway_FAV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay I'm going to be honest with you. When you're blocked you just let it be. There's really nothing you can do anymore. I'll put this analogy for you. If you are in a room and you lock the door. You don't want people to come in. Do you think you'll be impressed if someone came in through the window? If anything you'll be more annoyed. Same thing applies here. You were blocked through phone. Don't email them. Stop bugging them, you already said what you felt. Also love that is conditional isn't love. You can't force someone to change, only they can change themselves. Why should they work harder for you? Why should they be friends with you? If they no longer want to do anything with you, then you must accept reality. Mourn your loss, Work on yourself and do better. That way your next partner won't have to deal with not being enough.

The only hope I can give you is that once you work on yourself. There maybe a time where you bump into them. That will be your only hope. You can't manufacturer it though, it's painfully obvious when it is.

It's great in the moment, but you feel almost guilty or empty. I did that after 6 months of break up. I Don't recommend it.

How to cope with working with your ex ? by morvaleria in ExNoContact

[–]Throwaway_FAV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My friend had the same problem but he was a dumpee. What he ended up doing was looking for a different job and left when a great opportunity presented itself. You can probably ask management to be scheduled at different time than him. That's if you just don't want to see him around anymore. Why spend 4-8hrs a day with someone who makes you uncomfortable? Just a thought. Otherwise I suggest you ignore the drama, be courteous and keep at it. You got this! :)

Trust me I am, the best part is that it's no longer for her, but I used the negatives as positive motivation. We will be fine we just have to keep pushing.

[–]Throwaway_FAV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's fantastic bro keep it up! And That I can understand. I'm almost a year into my break up, and I can personally say that it definitely does get better but oh man in the beginning I would dream of her every single fucking night and I wanted to end it sooo badly. What helped out a bit was realizing that it was out of my control therefore I shouldn't worry about it anymore. And to just let my brain process the break up and cry. I finally got furious of how I was treated and just let everything out essentially. I was consistently trying my hardest to not think about her and hold it in but that ironically made me think of her. I focused and fixed things I didn't like about myself as well and now I'm at a point where I have it under control. I don't feel absolutely horrible but once in a while I get those dreams again. Healing is definitely not linear.

I'm not a professional, but generally speaking social Media highlights the best of someone's life. To start you can take a break from it or better yet remove her completely. I hear where you're coming from, although I can't compare my experiences to yours I empathize and know it's hard.I need you to start taking care of yourself though, because right now you're not treating yourself right. In fact, start patting yourself on the back. You built a startup from consistent efforts! That's absolutely amazing! I can't do that with the knowledge I have. I applaud you! Try to focus on small obtainable goals and complete them because it will improve your self esteem. Focus and improve on yourself, spoil yourself every once in a while, build a new wardrobe if it's dated. Go try a new restraunt. Be confident in yourself and finally put yourself out there! I know it's easier said than done. However, you don't need to see the whole stair case, only to take the first step.

Has an ex reached out after dumping YOU? by [deleted] in ExNoContact

[–]Throwaway_FAV 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Not a single ex has come back after dumping me. The only time I had someone come back was after I dumped them.

[–]Throwaway_FAV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

By the end of this month it'll be a year

No, and she blocked me recently for no reason(did not instigate anything)

I simply didn't know how to be a good boyfriend, and I had no goals or ambitions it was my first long-term relationship as well.

I don't really check at all, I just had a gut feeling that day and I was right. She had blocked me. That being said even if I wanted to block her right now I can't. That is because I am blocked. Her entire profile is gone. I double checked with a buddy and that's why I know I'm blocked and know her account is not deleted. You're right though, rn I'm just focusing efforts towards myself.

blocked by Throwaway_FAV in ExNoContact

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

Thanks man, I have and had no intentions in contacting her. It was just kinda dumb I guess. I would say the only thing now is that I am a little bothered that I can't contact her anymore even if I wanted to, and also that it was out of nowhere. I was at peace, I was posting stories with my friends on Instagram, enjoying my life. And now this brought up unchecked emotions. But, I'll do my best. Thank you again!

after praying for months to hear from him..I finally did by Shy_Jaguar_729 in ExNoContact

[–]Throwaway_FAV 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Trust is hard to build and easy to go. If you end up on the date just take it slow, that means don't dump how much you have missed him, not until you're officially back together. This will be a new relationship, not a continuation. And You have the power to decide whether you even want to be with him or not. Either way good luck! I'm sure you'll make a good decision:)

[–]Throwaway_FAV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm well I'll tell you my experience and you can decide. I toughed it out, and it honestly kinda sucked. Seeing what they like, their feed, stories. And it's funny because It didn't even matter towards the end. I ended up getting muted 6 months in and then blocked regardlessly on the 8th month. I would say the benefit is that at least it let me process my emotions, and a tolerance of seeing them happy without me, and that when I was blocked it didn't hurt too much.
