Only posted once a while back. Basically girl i was with was a single mom and she ended it on the terms of she needed to be single for ages because shes not over how her ex treated her. Its been 2 n half months n shes got a new bf who she has been with since just before xmas. Her manager from work. Now im no oil painting but hes old n really really ugly its not just me having sour grapes everyone says it. My question is, why the hell is this bothering me? Im not gutted or angry its more just a how could she on my mind n me wondering if she cheated on md with him etc. Im annoying myself. Any advice lads?
P.s i know im better off without, n can do better. But she wont go from my mind for some reason.
Here's the thing with no contact: everything that is prescribed - no texting, no calling, no e-mailing, no re-reading of old text messages, no looking back at pictures of her, no stalking of her social media - all of it has to be treated in a "I
must do this" manner. Not that you
should, you
must. It's been tried and tested, and it's the closest you're going to get as far as deleting her from your thoughts (think Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind).
You have to be ruthless with yourself, or you'll greatly prolong your time trapped in a self-destructive purgatory. Every time you violate
any one of the tenets that comprise "no contact", you get an "F" - that is, "F" as in "you
fvcked it all up, back to square one". Do this, and the memories and fantasies and yearning will all very slowly begin to whither away and die, I promise.
