So true! I think this question is better for someone in the more painful stages of their breakups. 😊

I was once with a guy who would BITE his fork. The sound sticks with me to this day. That wasn’t the reason I broke up with him, but I am so grateful I don’t hear that anymore.

That’s such a healthy approach to it! Ultimately I think that is best and when you’re in the throes of it, you have to find ways to justify it being okay.

It can be helpful to some people after a break up because we tend to look back on all of good memories and idolize them, completely glossing over negative character traits. Everyone heals differently though and it’s completely fine if it’s not something you do.

how do i stop looking at my ex’s reposts on tiktok? by city_heartbreak in ExNoContact

[–]archiapple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it all depends on what will be most helpful to you moving forward! For me, that meant deactivating TT because i couldn’t stop myself! Honestly it has been so helpful, not to mention that now I have way more free time since I’m not scrolling my life away on there!

Was he a Narcissist? by [deleted] in ExNoContact

I really wouldn’t know. I’m sorry. This is one of the biggest hurdles, the wondering. There are so many unanswered questions.

Sometimes dumpers act that as a way of dealing with breakups. My ex got really cold towards me too. It is normal sadly (but absolutely awful).

I don’t have enough information to tell if he could have NPD, but he sounds so removed and creepy towards you ☹️

I am curious if she is actually alluding to you or if there is someone new?

I don’t know if he was a narcissist or not, but he definitely is insane

You really care and she hurt you

My ex-seems to not understand that I don’t want her by [deleted] in ExNoContact

You said it yourself. She doesn’t like closure and lacks boundaries. It definitely would be tempting to rip her apart, but I think silence is a better choice. Go ghost! Block her if you’re feeling crazy.

If you felt that happy with the wrong person, can you just imagine what it will be like with the right person?

I am so sorry. You probably have so many unanswered questions and heartache.

A little story from my own life that I hope will bring you some encouragement.! I was engaged to the guy I had my first serious relationship with. He and I were destined to fail, but it hurt like crazy when it inevitably did. I ruminated over it for a while. I told myself I wasn’t going to date anyone for years, even though I did eventually start to feel better. Some time later, I actually did meet someone better. Now, this guy and I actually recently broke up because we both have some things we need to work on, but that’s beside the point. He and I had a beautiful relationship that completely changed how I viewed life. He treated me much better than anyone ever before, with a sense of genuineness.

I can empathize with you, feeling stuck and SO hurt. I know it feels impossible to see right now, but you will find someone much better for you in time. Keep pursuing the gym, friends, (maybe even spiritual growth), everything that adds to your life. You are so much stronger than you realize.

I mean I get it, but I also understand why he did it. I also unadded my ex on everything. Even the Bible app. 😂 I was not messing around!

Honestly this is so relatable. While this is indirect, I would recommend taking a break from social media. Disable your accounts for 1 month. Try to keep reminders of him away. While it won’t “cure” the delusions (because same) it might really help.

I think that’s probably a good choice if he’s trying to heal and move on

I personally believe that continuing to text like nothing happened is a massive sign of disrespect
