Recovering from a painful break up?
Friday, May 28th, 2010My boyfriend and I broke up recently. He still wanted me around to be his friend but I refused – too painful being around him knowing that I’ve been demoted from the love of his life to someone he randomly messages when he feels like it.
To stop this from happening, I enforced no contact and I haven’t heard from him since, that was over 2 weeks ago. I am so lonely and miserable and desperate and I’m fighting the urge to contact him.
I know that keeping busy will make me feel better, but now the holidays are here and I’m not working I’m going crazy with grief. My family live interstate and my friends are on holidays. Suggestions?
Yes I do have a dog and volunteer at the animal shelter
YOU have the power in you!
you have proven that you have some inner strength. Taking that stand was an intelligent thing to do.
Please continue to fight this urge to contact him…if he has moved on, you will feel worse!
Write down all of the mean things that he has said or done to you and refer to that list often.
It will help you to remember that he was just a person with flaws and he was not perfect and certainly not perfect for YOU!
Consider him a teacher….preparing you for the right one
now when you find him you will appreciate him that much more.
Also there is a book called ‘how to survive the loss of a love’
it is on amazon
check it out if time permits
