Hi Guys
Just been through an interesting emotional and lifestyle change, which has
occurred after by BPD/Daddy Issue/Narc walked out of my life 5 weeks ago.
Initially, for the first few weeks I was grieving. Hard.
I begged, pleaded, blew up her phone, bombarded her with texts etc….. I
cried, lots and I haven’t cried so much in years. I chased and chased and she
was on my every thought, both when I woke up and when I went to sleep. I
was beginning to question my reality, weather I was going mad and thinking
I had ‘ruined the best thing I ever had’
Only for her to repeatedly dangle the carrot, saying ‘we could’ve sorted this
out by now’ or ‘I was going to move back in’………….On two occasions she said
she wanted a ‘fresh start’ only for her to put zero effort into it, she wouldn’t even
come and meet me, stating she had to go running instead………
At around the four week stage however when I realised all of my efforts here
completely useless my mindset seemed to alter as the fog lifted out of emotional
turmoil.
Rather than seeking out a ‘relationship’, I saw the benefit in spinning plates and
ultimately not looking for anything serious right now.
A girl I dated briefly way back in 2014 subsequently got in touch and she is actually
chasing me and would like to be in a relationship, but I told her we can only be
friends with benefits, which to my surprise she accepted.
Also, as a man my mind is more focussed on my purpose and working out to be
the best possible version of myself than it is on women, certainly not my ex.
I’ve never experienced this before, such an alteration in my mindset and my emotional
core and wondered if any of you gents have been through a similar transition, or
felt anything similar?
Regards
Phil
