Dumped him and gone NC - handhold needed

I’ve ended my relationship of a year literally just this morning. I know I’ve done the right thing, but I’m waiting for the tidal wave of grief to hit me. I’m at work, barely slept last night and feel a bit shit. I’ve blocked him from whatsapp, fb, tinder, and my phone contacts so he has no way of contacting me unless he turned up at my house (which is unlikely). I need a handhold to keep strong. Sad

You know the reasons you did this, so just keep thinking about them and that you've done the right thing

Handhold!

Oh and I gave flowers but they didn't show up!

Thank you choice I ended it by text (we ended it face to face before and he always worms his way back in) and then immediately blocked him and I keep wondering if he’s read the message 🙄 even though it makes no difference now, it’s done....

Keep strong. Keep repeating you you did the right thing and the grief will subside. Immerse yourself in good things and keep busy with friends if you can.

Easier said then done, but try not to think about him- doesn't matter if he's read the message yet. You've done it and blocking was the right thing

You've already been very strong and brave by blocking him. Weaker people would have kept the lines of communication open in the forlorn, vain hope that the other party would beg. Give yourself credit for that. Stay resolute!

I ended my 2 year relationship by txt at 10 this morning to , I’m feeling it now but got to stay strong .
It’s for the best but it hurts so I know exactly how you are feeling.
Got to at some stage give the engagement ring back not sure I’m strong enough to do that yet .
There is a plethora of reasons I finished it his insecurities being one and my not being able to go out with one friend in particular.
I’m sure we will come out the other side .
Life is to short to waste in the wrong relationship.

moonie Flowers for you. It’s horrible isn’t it, im missing messaging him about my day already. He messed up too many times though, I know I’ll have some bad days but i will get over it. Went through a horrible break up three years ago which was much more serious so if I can do that, I can do this.

I’m not eating much and going from feeling strong to crying the huge roller coaster of emotions make it difficult to think straight.
Going from 3/4 phones a day and dozens of txts to nothing it’s the void .
I’m off work at the moment so I’ve been busy doing tip runs to keep occupied.
I don’t know what’s worse finishing it or bring the one that’s dumped both are equally horrible.
I’ve unblocked just to see if he does reply why oh why do we put ourselves through it .
The list is long as to why we won’t work long term but that doesn’t stop it from hurting.
We can hold each other’s hands through this , let’s be kind to ourselves and not beat ourselves up to much

I’ve resisted unblocking him but I think part of me secretly hopes he turns up at my house later Blush. Even though it’d just complicate things
