Taking our own advice is certainly harder than giving it. I feel like its the right thing to do ultimately....this NC thing. I know for her its hard too because she once told me "i am friends with all my exs and cant stand being hated." That gives me some relief to know that I am the exception. I refuse to be degraded and an emotional tampon. I fvcking refuse. I lost too much self respect to reach out. I guess its just my ego asking for a rubbing by hoping she will reach out first
You need to go into this as if that won't happen (in most cases will happen OVER TIME). Also with them coming back, you need to figure out why they are, because I don't like the sound of it that, "I didn't find anyone out there, I guess you'll have to do"
Total MFing crap, I'm not second best, I am the best and I deserve the best
I've been nc for about 3 months and some change and I've seen how she has progressed in her taste of men. I can say from what I've seen go on, she is trying to get with some guys that are either fatter, look like me, have bad boy tendencies or have kids with a mix of reasons stated. You must remember if she IS dating someone else or trying to do such right out of the breakup or maybe during a break, typically it's someone that is a lower "mark" than you, meaning it's easy to obtain them as a relationship prospect (low self esteem, beta tendencies) even if you showed beta aspects. They already know you and how you act and they are looking for something new. I got told by my ex that she wasn't attracted to me anymore, but the week before that previously, she was basically touching my ass in the store.
Don't get caught up in what she says guys, more than likely it's crap because she doesn't want to feel guilty about letting you go and the real reasons. I mean listen to how it sounds, "hey I'm breaking up with you because I found someone I think is better (whatever the reason is)"
Sounds pretty *****y to me, whereas "I'm not attracted to you anymore (insert bs reason here)" is giving her probable reason to say such without seeming like a total ***** and leaving you like it's your fault.
More than likely guys and gals, if you treated her/him good, they will come back. If not, they did you a favor. Why would you want to be with a weak, greedy, slutty, lying, betraying guy/girl anyway?
You deserve someone that is deserving of your time and loving affection. Don't let your ex turn you into a mess or even worse, a monster.
