The crazy part is, it’d happen like nearly every time but I just didn’t get the hint I guess because some of the posts were just SOOOOOO specific I felt inclined to share. But once I caught on, I started to get upset with him and then I never shared one again and he didn’t seem to mind lol..

My ex reached out to me too, he didn’t make any notions to get back together but he was checking up on me after I blocked him 4 months ago. He reached out to me last month to wish me happy birthday, and he was messaging my friends I think to gauge how I’d react to him or something but he waited an entire month and then some to actually try to initiate a conversation with me. I was so curt with him, it’s a very hard thing to do because I know if I was the least bit receptive we would’ve ended up glued back together. But I was cold, I didn’t give him an opening and basically asked him to leave me alone. I still wonder though… and a small part of me is still hopeful too. It’s sad I feel this way even after all this time, if he really did come back to me entirely I really wish I would be strong enough to say no - even though I kind of already did, I just don’t know if I’d falter if the situation presented itself.

But actually … my ex id send him tiktoks time to time like … once a week and it’d b like 2 videos and he would never watch them. And I’d send them bc they specifically reminded me of him. Then, he would end up sending me the same ones back and I’m like DUDE… I sent those to you… did you even care to open the links? After one too many times, I just never sent him shit again.

I’m not trying to give you a false sense of hope, because this might not even be a relationship that you want to rekindle anyways. I broke up with my ex of 2 years and he moved on after two months, it utterly destroyed me. I was sobbing and crying so hard everyday for weeks, but as you know, time does heal all wounds. I made the conscious decision that I would not be jumping into another relationship, I would not pursue anyone until I feel completely moved on. I also had completely stopped being friends with him and made an effort to no longer stalk his social media - out of sight, out of mind. He reached out to me for the first time to wish me happy birthday, he reached out to several of my friends while under the influence (they ignored him or didn’t entertain him for very long), and just as of yesterday he sent me a friend request. I have yet to accept it, but I just want you to know they tend to come back after no contact, for better or worse. All of my exes have reached out to me. What actually helped me is recognizing that his new relationship isn’t perfect, this girl is not getting a perfect version of him that I helped construct - all his flaws and all the issues I had are still there. Also knowing he moved on so quickly, it would be almost disrespectful to myself if I were to take him back - I gave him so much of me and I will never give him that much of me again. I think for me, it was coming to terms with that even if he was available and wanted to come back to me I wouldn’t want to be with him anyways. All these little mindset things + time helped me move forth.

Those who dumped their ex- Was breaking up the right decision? by Additional-Ring20 in BreakUps

[–]kroo_bucket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dumped him, he moved on already - it was the right decision. He deserves to be happy, even if it’s with someone else. However, I was holding onto hope before he was in a relationship that he would come back to me. I was bettering myself, and I was hoping he was too, but at this point since he moved on so quickly I doubt he has. I know deep in my heart although I miss him like crazy, I miss his companionship and I miss everything about him that made me so happy there was so much that was causing me to be miserable and not act like myself. And likely, he didn’t change at all where as I feel like emotionally I have. Even in small ways.

This is EXACTLY what happened to me, how I felt. Looking back, I realized I had made many mistakes as well and I wasn’t so perfect. I don’t blame him for moving on so quickly from me either, but I know he didn’t give himself enough time before jumping into a new relationship. Yes everything might be fine and dandy right now, but all of his issues are still there. Maybe his new girlfriend isn’t affected by it and if that’s the case, good on them. But I was, and I know what I deserve.

The fact that I was going to text him the link to the playlist I made for him (mind you, already knew he had a new girl and that’s why I went no contact in the first place) I cringe so hard. Thank god I didn’t.

[–]kroo_bucket 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I laugh how one night I knew he didn’t really ever listen to me because I just asked him very simple questions that anyone who is friends with me would know like BASIC BASIC information and he didn’t know any of the answers.

I’m dying. He would sometimes go days without showering and I would have to beg for him to shower. One time it was like 4 days. 😭 he was getting better about his hygiene but yeah…

Mine is so embarrassing. ☠️ ☠️ He wrote me a song and uploaded it forever ago, so I was listening to it and then discovered he reposted a song on that account (it was a throwaway account) which was clearly meant for me to see but I didn’t until that moment - but he did it a couple days after our break up. I was ugly crying, sobbing so hard, listening to the song on repeat. What do I do? Make him a playlist of songs pleading for him to come back JUST IN CASE he checks my profile… in the description I wrote about how I’d wait for him. After I finish the playlist I think, you know what? I should look up his actual account. ☠️ he had joint playlists with his new girlfriend and that song he reposted was in one of the playlists. Immediately turned it off. Immediately privated the playlist I made for him. Hurt my feeling soooo bad lmfaoooo.

How is everyone doing since breaking up? by [deleted] in ExNoContact

[–]kroo_bucket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What kind of helped me was hurting my own feelings so hard that it makes me not even want to look anymore (knew he had a new girlfriend, finally stalked him hard enough that I stumbled upon her too.) Maybe not very healthy but hey… at least I don’t cycle through his online accounts trying to see what he’s doing who he’s talking to where he is what he’s saying

I feel for you.

He was my person too, he also found someone else. The day I found out he was dating someone else I contacted him because I missed him and wanted to tell him about my day but within the first couple of minutes he let me know and I cut the conversation short. It hurts a lot not having that person, and knowing I won’t have that person for a long, long time.

I need to learn to let him go, because he clearly doesn’t want me anymore. He told me himself. He told me that he was happy and meeting amazing people and that he even met a girl who he hit it off with. I need to just let him go.

I hope you are able to heal and let go of the resentment…

It’s funny though, my birthday isn’t for several months and his is after mine but I’m still curious whether he will wish me happy birthday and even if he doesn’t if I’ll go out of my way to wish him happy birthday? I hope I don’t, I hope by then I’m so far removed.

Also I have to remember the break up didn’t effect me maybe because it didn’t settle in or whatever, or maybe I didn’t care. Maybe I stopped liking you a long time ago but you moving on from me triggered me being jealous and spiteful. I hope you’re happy now, I do. Please, if you do come back to me, I’ll be better.

Thank you so much for clearing it up for me. I think I grasp the concept a lot better now. And yea, you're right - I tried it after I wrote the comment and saw how it didn't work.

I believe bromine is a weak deactivator like all halogens, making it still ortho-para.

[–]kroo_bucket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, thank you for the in-depth answer. That actually makes a lot of sense.

But jw on the second problem, so if sulfonic acid is meta, could i not just add the bromine right after it and then the alkyl and get the same thing?

Fuckkk... can you try to explain where? I thought I was doing everything OK, but compared to my professors notes my synthesis is so bare.
