guys, been reading a lot of messages regarding NC and lame excuses to break it. I'll tell you my story.
My former ONEitis works with me, I bump into her frequently therefore logistics are not helping me. Anyway, 1 year ago we had a really good start, enjoyed time together, I bedded her quite easily, all good. Then the relationship went south, she was hot and then cold, she didn't respond to calls and txts there was even a colleague of mine flirting with her and she didn't reject him, etc etc. You know, all the things that make you wonder "WTF? how come can she do that to me?" . At that time I didn't know that her ex was behind the scenes. It was tough and I became clingy and I remember perfectly a discussion we had in which I said that I was displeased that things weren't going towards me and her being gf and bf. I would beat myself to death right now for this. What a loser.
Moreover, it wasn't the first time this happened, I dated two girls before that one, one of which I though she was my ONE crackup: ) and the same happened. They were flaky, inconsistent, not willing to commit and more importantly they had baggage but didn't tell me. I screwed up massively, I did all the wrong things.
After such experiences, I decided to hold off and focus just on myself. The three girls got in touch with me to test the water or to keep me in the friendzone later. Nope, nada, niet, no thanks. I went no contact. Tough exercise I'd say, some days were incredibly hard and having her in my office, in front of me everyday, well it didn't help at all.
I started avoiding places, deleted all social media stuff, fb, mob number, whatsapp, stuff we've done together. My mind was always focussed on her though. I took NC as a rough will power exercise, I didn't want to go back just forget and move on. It wanted to survive. You know, ONEitis is a mental disorder, and you can win or lose. I wanted to win.
I recently bumped into her, I felt powerful. 10 months have passed, I worked out intensely and results are visible, I dress to kill and I enlarged my network. I feel she's avoiding me, she feels I have changed, she is, in some way, scared to see what I've become. Her hypergamy is violently challenged by the doubt she did the wrong thing dumping me. I must admit that I was a different person: I started alpha as fvck and then became a weak beta, unable to cut everything off. But I learnt my lesson and I'm going to be grateful forever to the guys here that advised me on keeping the NC. It's a survival strategy, but the results are awesome.
