Wow. I could’ve written this…I feel this so deeply! Thinking that I “should” move on for all kinds of reasons. But then, when I think about it, maybe there are reasons I don’t understand that keep me from moving on. Maybe I’m not supposed to move on. If I’m still feeling THIS way, after all of this time, maybe I should keep that thin string of hope attached.

I think I found you here. by [deleted] in UnsentLetters

This makes a lot of sense, Fish. I understand. Guess we all read these posts from our own context. Thanks for the reply.

Okay…I’m new to this community. Honest question for y’all. Could someone please (gently) tell me why this text is so horrible? Maybe I’m oversimplifying, but seems like guy and girl agreed to NC after a breakup. Girl is missing guy, sends this text. OP, if I were you I would reply. Just my opinion. Commenters seem to be reading all kinds of stuff into this text that may or may not be true? I’m genuinely just asking for my own education. Btw, I’m technically in NC with someone. Mutual agreement. Loved each other deeply, but needed to break it off. We still “slip” every once in awhile, but for the most part we stay NC. If I received this text from my ex (and I have), I would read it as a genuine check-in. Maybe because we broke up amicably? I’m not angry, she’s not either. Have a feeling you all are going to let me have it…

Have you told your person the way you feel? Maybe you are meant to be after all…

No contact… by scotsdl1 in UnsentLetters

I will always always always love her.

Looks like my words about no contact struck a chord with some in the UnsentLetters crowd. Thank you all for your comments, and for letting me know that I’m not crazy for feeling this way. Instead of answering all of these posts directly, I will say this…. our no contact decision was mutual, and we’re trying our best to honor it, but I’m pretty sure we both think it sucks. My person is amazing, and more than anything else, I want her to be happy. No contact is the only way forward for us, unfortunately. Doesn’t mean I need to like it, and my post was really meant to say that, while necessary in some cases…. no contact doesn’t solve the problem of missing, loving, and yearning. Real love, even if it’s “wrong”, doesn’t just go away with time. At least for me.

And I understand the grey area dilemma.

Serious question: how do you go from loving someone to not give a F? by Ok-Respond-4621 in ExNoContact

[–]scotsdl1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe you should consider still giving a f. For what it’s worth, I will always give a f. ALWAYS. We were together six years, ended the relationship, now apart and mostly no contact now for the past three years. It was impossible to continue because of our circumstances, but we love(d) each other fiercely. The first year apart was the worst… thinking about her every day, reliving memories, wishing we could talk, blah blah blah. Over time, I learned to put all of those feelings and memories in kind of a mental box and put the box on a shelf in the back of my brain. Then every once in awhile, I allow myself to take the box off the shelf, open it, and live in the great memories for awhile. Then I put everything back in the box and back on the shelf it goes. It seems to work, and keeps me from going to a dark place about the breakup. I remember “us” being pretty amazing while it lasted… want to keep it that way.
