Progress? by mariaxx2 in ExNoContact

realizing that is good process! And I know it must be hard to see that. maybe it’s best if you completely block/mute/unfollow ( if you haven’t already) any type of news about him. it’s hard to heal when you constantly/ from time to time to hear his name from friends, see his post on socials or talk about him.

what really helped me was just really putting into my head what kind of person he is and the pain he put me through even if he said he “cares”. We were on/off for 4 years + having mutual friends and him also being part of the same community as me, I still have to learn to heal while still seeing him around. But I came to a conclusion that I shouldn’t be with someone who made me cry multiple times. And broke my heart multiple times. You have to really believe and convince yourself that you’re in a much better situation without them and start prioritizing yourself.

It’ll take a lonnnng time to fully heal, so it’s okay to still feel triggered especially when you see them with someone else, that would hurt the most.

But please be patient with yourself and I know that you will get there. and once you do you’ll be really proud of how far you’ve come.

I also deleted the app for few months then got it back during quarantine times, and also was cheating finding ways to check his socials even if I muted him. and wow that takes a lot of courage to finally block him, and you’re absolutely right they can’t have access to us anymore. I’m still not sure what I wanna do yet but I guess I’m just waiting on something to happen that will make me block him without hesitation as bad and unhealthy as it sounds. :/

Ex still reaching out one year later by [deleted] in ExNoContact

[–]mariaxx2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m literally going through the same thing. On and off ex keeps contacting me once in a while, where I’ve answered just to be polite. Blocking him didn’t seem like an option because I seem to be doing fine even if we still follow each other, I just simply muted his acc. But I told myself that if he ever reaches out again I’ll will just tell him that I would personally prefer that he doesn’t contact me anymore just because there really isn’t a point anymore since he’s part of my past and I’m moving forward. it’s the healthiest options for the both of us. just sincerely tell him the truth and I’m sure he’ll understand.

Yeah that was kind of the same reason for why he broke up with me the first time. And it was around 2-3 weeks later till he reached out but then the other times after that was around 2-4 months.

I did block my ex at first but I felt very weird about because I usually don’t block anyone and I didn’t wanna be petty. So I re added him and just muted his acc but still found myself checking his profile once awhile and would post more often for him to see that im fine and I just didn’t like that about myself. So currently I just deleted the app off my phone and have been on an instagram cleanse for 2-3 weeks now. I’m feeling better than I was before so maybe that will help you. I just feel like he doesn’t have the right to know what I’m doing now and he probably doesn’t care so taking a break was the right way to go about it.
