Thanks Bateman, that makes a lot of sense. I feel better after the gym.bateman72 said:I think your mixed emotions are a great sign. We all start NC with the intention of making her miss us and spend each day waiting for that call.
At some point, with a little bit of distance and introspection the pedestal we put the ex on begins to settle and crumble.
I used to think NC is a success at the point where you really don't give a fvck if she calls or not. Now I believe NC is successful when you reach the point where you feel your ex would need to earn her right back into your life.
Now, if she calls you are probably not going to jump into talking to her, instead you will hang back and see if she is really working to get back with you.
That's a good place to be, a lot of us are in the situation we are in because we stopped requiring our ex to earn our affection and became supplicating and needy.
The thing with this girl is that I know she'll eventually contact me. We weren't in a full fledged relationship but we spent the last 8 months basically on the brink of it and every time we got close, she'd do something to piss me off and I'd react in a needy emotional way, thus turning her off. I know how she is though with other people and ex boyfriends. She always goes back. But yeah, it would be nice to be in a spot where I'm in different and make her work. Then maybe I could just bang her and not care. We'll see.
The ironic thing is I'm currently talking to a different girl I used to date years ago, who I felt exactly the same way about. And we're getting coffee tomorrow.
Funny how things work out.
