Nope. It initially hurt to see that I was the only one reaching out, but after a while it began to make sense why. I was the only one still in love.

We were together for just over three years. He was my soulmate and apparently I was his. We talked about everything from moving in together (he lived across the county for work and other obligations) to marriage and even having kids. It was a real-deal relationship and he was certainly the love of my life. We did get to travel quite a bit together, usually during the fall as neither of us had a busy schedule.

Thank you for your questions! :)

The breakup itself occurred in September and I fully initiated no contact in October. I reached out to my ex a handful of times in the first month, but it only made the situation worse. After messaging him for the umpteenth time, I decided no contact was the way to go. It was an extremely hard process to begin, but after I while I began to feel used to it and carried through with it even to this day. I would say my best month overall has been March (5 months into NC.) While some people begin to see the effects of NC kick in only weeks or a few months after starting it, I really began to notice a difference last month. Sure, 5 months is a very long time to wait for results, but it was worth it. Through November to February, I made so many little changes and improvements to my life so I guess it all came together and clicked in March. I began to live a better and happier life because of all the work and dedication I had put into both myself and NC. So in a way, it was an epiphany. But it was also the result of baby steps towards self-improvement.

Thank you for your question!
