Getting over relationship

Hi I'm trying to get over being dumped yet again by my ex. I need to go no contact this time as this relationship has brought me to my knees. He's given me the silent treatment so many times and has really messed with my head.
Like many of the sad stories I read on here there will be no closure as he doesn't take any responsibility for anything.

Thanks Binkleback and glad you've met someone who is right for you. It has been grieving process; I've been crying a lot ever since he moved out, but carried on the relationship, last June. It should have ended then really I suppose as I was devastated that he moved out. I loved certain aspects of our family life and I'm grieving for that. I have many friends in (what appear to be) normal loving family type relationships and it hasn't worked out that way for us.
Anyway, since I've gone no contact, although it's only been three days, I have felt better. He hasn't been on my mind so much and I can feel myself letting go and coming to terms with it.

It's a cliche but true, keep busy and accept you're going to feel crap for however long it takes, accept but don't wallow thats the key X

I'm sorry to hear you are being treated this way it's hard to imagine that a human being can be so cruel, I understand with empathy as have been treated the same by someone who I thought loved me.

Move on and away, and feel fortunate your not having the head stress of trying to be in a relationship with him. There are better people in the world for you to be around, give yourself some space x

I am really wobbling about contacting him. I know that if I do he will either ignore me or won't say anything that either means anything or will make me feel better so I just need to write here to stop me from texting him. I've got plans for the weekend so it shouldn't be a problem but I feel constantly heartbroken.

Keep strong, you know it's wrong to go back to the same old crap and I know it's cheesy but time really is a healer and the only thing on your side at the moment, that's what gets you through, that, and surrounding yourself with friends/family/keeping busy as much as possible. In time you will begin to realise what was wrong in the relationship.

You know if you go back it's just stepping back on the merrygoround and we all know how that ends.........good luck!
