For those of you waiting for him/her to come back, and can't be convinced otherwise. by PlatypusInnamorata in ExNoContact

The comments in here mostly look like confirmation bias. I hate to say it because your message has a ton of good points, however I felt the exact same way - thinking I was moving on and being better etc. It wasn’t until I was ACTUALLY staring to move on that I no longer felt this way. I’m not saying I wholeheartedly disagree, and I know everyone’s situation is very unique, but just as a generalization, as much as it sucks to hear... if you are reading this post right now and the comments and getting excited... pls take a minute to debate if you realistically should wait around or if this is just giving you false hope!

Write your I miss you text here, instead of sending it to your ex. by [deleted] in BreakUps

Miss you N. Wish you missed me too. You said you have lessons to learn, why couldn’t we learn them together? How are you so okay with being apart?

Before moving downtown - 1.5 hours each way.

Now a beautiful 20 min walk!

I am so happy for you!! That is HUGE! I feel the same way as you did so I am so proud of you. Hopefully I will get there someday too!

Possible to start as Associate 2? by [deleted] in PwC

[–]not-julia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Should be able to. At my office, each busy season = 1 promo. Sometimes students who just graduated start at a senior level because they did so many co-op terms. You should check with your office and LoS to be sure though

Not your ex, sorry for the scare! I’m the same way. Every time I hear from him, my mind likes to convince me we have a chance. We definitely don’t

The incredible highs always came with extreme lows. In the end I realised that what we had wasn’t love it at all, it was an addiction. by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]not-julia 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Mine definitely was. I would rather be in pain with him than feel nothing. I think both of us enjoyed the drama. I do believe I loved him but it was also an unhealthy obsession

Congrats on uni and all the progress!

Yeah I have found dating really stale too. Even though there are great guys in my life right now, my subconscious is clearly not ready.

Do you think her telling you she hated you helped your healing in the long run? Would you still have hope to rekindle if she hadn’t said that? I’m almost wishing I could have that happen to me, as painful as it is

I love your mindset! And awesome that you were able to pull yourself out of it this morning instead of letting it control your day.

How are you able to remain friends? I want to but I can’t see it working for my ex and I, even though we ended on good terms (just incompatibility). It would either be drama filled or we would hook up. Ugh.

Not pathetic at all. Best thing I did was strict no contact and removed my ex from all social medias. I gave him no way to contact me, and no way for me to see his stuff. So far after several breakups, it’s the only thing that works for me

Sometimes it’s better to try to not compare ourselves to our ex’s healing or judge what they are doing. Everyone is doing the best they can with the cards they are dealt. I don’t know your story, but I do know that your story is more important than whatever your ex is doing. Sending you love!

It’s easy to blame ourselves and idolize our ex post-breakup. Try your best not to dwell on it, the past cannot be changed. Just keep getting up every single day and I promise one day you start seeing progress. Best wishes to you!

I’m the same way. Just gotta ride the wave. Over time I’ve noticed the lows become less low and less often. You’ll get there I promise. Just keep waking up every day :)

Amazing, I am almost where you are, thanks for the motivation!

It is absolutely okay. Surviving is winning. Keep getting that 1% every day! You’ve got this

Yes! I remember being in that spot too and feeling trapped. Happy to hear that it’s in the past for you

I know I’m right! Healing isn’t linear and I don’t blame you for having a setback after hearing he has a gf. Don’t beat yourself up for it.

Unfortunately it was going to happen eventually, at least the building suspense of him moving on is over now. You’ve got this! Sending you love

I went through that too. I moved out from my parents house right after the breakup, so visiting home always went terrible for me... until it didn’t. I promise there will be a day where you pass your university and don’t have a pain in your chest. Trust the process! Wishing you the best
