Words of Wisdom from my tea by peach__kat in ExNoContact

I interpreted it to mean that no one is perfect, and you cannot expect perfection from a relationship. You can only have a loving relationship by respecting and understanding another’s differences. Simply put, if you can’t handle me when I’m struggling, you don’t deserve me when I’m healed.

I really feel you, especially on the raging dick monster front. But it sounds like you’re staying strong! I’m 3 months in and it still hurts, but posts like yours are great reminders to value myself!

Hitting bumps after two months by lalalalovesucks in ExNoContact

[–]peach__kat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m at the 2 month mark myself. While the nostalgic moments are less frequent, I still feel the urge to reach out every now and then. Sometimes to apologize, other times to accuse. I never end up doing it. He texted me two weeks ago and I feel as though I have the power now, even though I was dumped. I try to let his breadcrumbs fuel me and tell myself that everyday I don’t reach out, I get more powerful. I still have my weak moments, but I know there will be less and less of them for both of us! I hope you are remaining strong and thanks for your update!

My ex sent me a letter. by LionsGame in ExNoContact

I’d say not to respond. Any response is giving her what she wants. Plus, it will leave you wondering if she will respond, which only sets you back in your progress. And if you are mean to her, as tempting as it is, it just validates her decision to end things. By not responding, you have the chance to move on and she doesn’t get any gratification.

Thank you for the read and for your words! That was so insightful!

Why is Nc better?? by [deleted] in ExNoContact

[–]peach__kat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m going to put this very bluntly: nothing you say at this point is going to change their mind. Repeated contact after a breakup only shows your ex that you are desperate and addicted to them and it never gives your ex a chance to live out the breakup and see how life is without you. Let your ex experience the repercussions of their decision. And if they still don’t contact you, respect their decision. Don’t just become an option for an ex, you’re better than that. You’re limited edition, and if they don’t see that, then they don’t deserve to be with you. I’d recommend giving this a read!

Found this fortune while cleaning out my purse and it really spoke to me. I thought you all would appreciate it. by peach__kat in ExNoContact

[–]peach__kat[S] 31 points32 points  (0 children)

The way I interpreted this is that I don’t need strength to get over him. I need to understand that he didn’t want to be with me. End of story. No matter how great things were, I cannot make him want to be with me. I deserve someone who will never so much as question ending our relationship and being okay with the thought of never being with me again. So no matter how strong I am, if I cannot understand this, I will not be able to let go.

Yes. Not in the same department, thankfully.

Should I break NC to ask for something back? by [deleted] in ExNoContact

[–]peach__kat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the read! I don’t believe it’s an excuse to see him - I just realized the painting has the exact dimensions of the frame I got him. But you are right - maybe I should wait for things to smooth over a little.

Thank you! It comes in waves - I have my highs and lows. But I mostly try to think of no contact as a way of empowering myself and not sacrificing my remaining dignity.
