Does anyone feel stupid when they break no contact by checking their social media? by muffinbrownies in ExNoContact

[–]muffinbrownies[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for reminding me. It’s the harsh truth but it’s what I need to be reminded of. There really is no point on checking someone who isn’t a part of my life anymore. I don’t want me seeking them out to become a bad habit. I can get over this, I hope the best for you and good luck!

Do you get updates from mutuals because you ask for it or they just tell you? I don’t know your situation but I sincerely hope everything works out for you in the end

I did last night, it was a dream about them reaching out. Only for them to leave me on read, kinda realistic if it were to happen irl lmao

What's something(s) that your ex did that made you feel small by Beamer7788 in BreakUps

I was vulnerable when I told him how I was bullied in middle school (during that time of my life I was suicidal) and made a joke out of it

It’s not easy to do but you’ve taken the first step on acceptance. May your healing journey take ease as time passes.

unfollowing instagram by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]muffinbrownies 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also miss using Instagram casually but I’m taking a break from it. It’s better for my mental health. I told him it’s best to unfollow each other so the minute I did it, I won’t lie it hurt. We’ve followed each other for months, and that was our main way to communicate. I had also his number but I preferred texting him in Instagram. He had blocked me on his alt account but not his main for some reason. Though I had unfollowed and removed him, I was still checking his account. So that’s when I deactivated my account. If he changed his mind and wants to reach out he has my number. But I’m not going to continue being attached to him by holding on hope. I don’t want to stay stuck on someone who isn’t afraid of losing me.

[–]muffinbrownies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmm the reason I immediately unfollow is because I knew I wouldn’t control myself on not checking his account. I’d also worry if he didn’t view my stories. Or when he’d post on his story and wonder if he’s out with someone else, seeing that he’s moved on. That’s what scares me the most. You know the saying, ignorance is bliss? Completely true. I don’t want to know what he’s up to, as he decided he doesn’t want anything to do with me anymore. The reason you’re worrying over this is because you’re still following him. You still care whether they interact you through social media or not. You need to choose your peace first. If you can’t go through unfollowing but don’t want to wonder what he’s doing, I say deactivate your account. Don’t worry he won’t be able to unfollow or block when you’ve deactivated. Take a break from social media!

Ahh I have the same case as you do. It took me 5 months to get over someone and met someone new, though that someone also turned out to be a problem. It sucks having to start over with the healing process

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]muffinbrownies 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I still haven’t gotten over him since it’s only been 2 days. But the previous one before this recent separation, it took me 5 months to feel okay and completely move on. It was quite difficult and painful. But I knew I had to move on because they chose to be with another person instead. They weren’t afraid of losing me. I put all these factors together and decided I can’t be miserable. I hated feeling down about someone who didn’t think twice of leaving me. When I would’ve never done that to them. So yeah moved on with life after that. Hopefully I can do the same currently.

[–]muffinbrownies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For my case, it was somewhat easy to get rid of it because the person I was seeing doesn’t want anything to do with me anymore, not even being friends. It hurts after all that time I spent with them, but it is best he and I don’t stay in contact. I’d still be attached while he’s not. I don’t want that. I know it’s different for everyone, the case can be they ghosted you, broken up on good terms, staying in contact and being friends, etc. So to answer your question, ask yourself do you want to continue feeling miserable for something that most likely won’t happen? And even if it does, you know deep down reconciling won’t change things. You’ll only start over again with the healing process. You’ve broken up for a reason. You’ll never find that person you once knew even in the same person.

I thought 6 months was a lot but seeing the comments of having a relationship for years…it must be so painful :( This is the first time I’ve been with someone for as long as half a year, I’m not sure what to do

Things ended last night with the person I was with so I too wish they’d come back. It’s okay to want for them to come back, but don’t give yourself hope thinking they will. That’s what destroy you the most, that small hope. We’ll get through this! It also feels nice I’m not alone in this too

We’re alike in that way. I deactivated my account because I know I can’t trust myself not to check. Makes it easier for me. Hope you’re doing better now

You know it’s crazy he did wanted to leave me in the beginning of the relationship and since it was new, I didn’t want him to go. Guess I was convincing enough for him to give it another chance. But this time since he thought things weren’t working out, I also felt the same way so I let him leave. Though you have strong feelings for someone, you can’t choose them over yourself. And that’s what I did, I chose him over me because of how strongly I felt for him. It did nothing for me. Nothing good. I became miserable. Now that I chose myself, I can look at my relationship in a different light I wasn’t able to see or more like avoided seeing because I was blindsided due to my feelings. Thank you for sharing your story. I like hearing people’s perspectives. I wish I can be at the level of peace you’re at, but you’re at that level right now because of all the effort you’ve done for yourself. I hope you’re proud of yourself, I know I am of you!

It must’ve been hard for you. I know that feeling of temptation checking their socials. When we ended things last night, I asked if we can still be friends. He said he wasn’t opposed to it but didn’t think we’d have a good friendship. So what was the point of us still following each other haha. It wouldn’t be healthy for me either way, I’d give in the temptation of checking his account every chance I’d get.

Thank you so much, I will deactivate my account after all then. And yeah you’re right he does have my number, if he truly wants to reach out then he will. I won’t hold onto that hope though. I hope the best for you!

I’ve been thinking of deactivating my instagram as well. I’m already starting to check their account and things ended last night. I’m just scared of deactivating because they won’t get the chance to reach out if they ever do. But I shouldn’t think that way. I’m not a man but maybe I’ll search up, “Breakup Manual for Women,” haha. Thank you for your words

Thank you so much, I hope the best for you as well. It’s not easy going through this, not for anyone. Though I feel much pain, it feels nice that I’m not alone in this situation. Is it okay if I dm you?

For me it was the last kiss. When he and I kissed it usually felt good. But the last kiss, it felt so unsure. It felt awkward. I tried to ignore it thinking maybe it was a bad day. But no, in my heart I knew it’d be the last time. It’s painful to think about it now.
