Three weeks NC

[Cherrycrystal]

I had to go no contact with my ex, he broke up with me and then after a few weeks he came back into my life, saying he wanted me but he would act as though I was an inconvenience and seemed to enjoy keeping me on the hook. I have made it to 3 weeks. im so proud of myself, he made it clear he didn't want me and wasn't willing to give me any part of himself.
However, now I need to stop thinking of him how do I do this? I'm trying to tell myself not to when I do but it's so hard.
Not only that, we haven't gone this long without speaking since the first few weeks after our breakup, I miss him. I don't miss how badly he treated me but I miss him, I miss who he used to be, I miss the man I fell in love with. How do I stop myself doing this, it's just hurting me more in the long run.

Just give it time & slowly you will think about him less & less. You've done the right thing by going NC now just stick to in & slowly things will get better.

You're worth more than being treated like shit by anyone.

well done for the nc! I've been apart from my ex for 2 weeks and by god it's hard I want to tell him when something good happens when bad things happen it's soo hard I have given in a lot and find it so hard! especially when they are you best friend you told everything too!
well done for the nc! keep strong I know how hard it is! xx

Well done! In a week you will be a month over him and it does get easier. Practically you can keep very busy, to not have time to think of him. Go out with friends more, try something new, take up a class, anything really to just have a new focus.

Thank you all. I feel like it should have become easier by now and in many respects it has, Always I will try keeping busy. I suppose that's the only way to truly take my mind off him.
