Blocked My Ex on Social Media
It’s been a little over three months since my breakup with my ex but I was finally able to block him on my last bit of social media. I’m actually really proud of myself because this was very hard for me to do but I knew that by still following him and allowing him to have access to me, it was as if I was okay with the way he disrespected me and treated me so poorly and that he was allowed to do that again. Well, no more. I’m letting go of the past and finally moving forward. I’m giving myself the respect I deserve.
Married for 20 years to a toxic man
I been married for 20 Years to a man who said he loved me. For 20 Years I been with him through his alcohol and abusive behaviors and dealt with so much . In one of my efforts to get him to get help . He thinks is a better and on a high horse saying that I am the problem. He is healing and he is better off without me . What hurts is that he destroyed every sense of self I had and now that he “feels better” he won’t help me or support me the way I did him. He wants a divorce and I was not ready for that. Living alone now . He moved out our home .
Just had a date
Just had a date after a loooooooooooong time mourning my past relationship. I know most people here have gone through their breakups fairly recently but I thought maybe this one data point could help someone. I thought my ex was the one. That she was perfect in every way, that even though she broke up with me she would come back and apologize and I would forgive her because she was so great. Well. I couldn’t. This new girl though is much more compatible with me humor wise and is super smart and independent too. I’m not sure of a future with here but just wanted to share with some people maybe still trapped in the immediate fog of a breakup that other people exist, and they have the qualities that would make them good partners. Maybe it wont work if there are dealbreakers on either side, but for now I’m keeping an open mind on the truths and not letting my emotions control me
New girl
I was on my school bus today and a new girl asked to sit next to me and we talked for a little bit and she fell asleep leaning against me and that’s the happiest I’ve felt in so long. I cant grasp at the situation of being in another relationship after my recent abusive one.
My Top Break Up Resources
The book “Its Called a Break Up Because it’s Broken”. The literal ONLY thing that kept me sane for the first 6 months after the break up…. The “Just Break Up” podcast. It’s therapeutic and affirming relationship advice, where listeners can write in about their problems. The other thing that kept me sane haha.
