Help me not text my ex!

[dandelionandmurdoch]

Ugh I was dating a guy for a few months and then he broke it off (not without good reason and he was an arse as well). He's gone on holiday and become friends with a French girl on Facebook and I'm sitting at home crying feeling boring and English convinced he's going to come home madly in love.

We work together so I have to see him in the future.

Help me not text him please?

Just don’t. Please. You’ll feel so much worse tomorrow if you do.

Delete his number and unfollow on fb. Join OLD for distraction. Stay strong, it gets easier 💐

Perhaps consider that you’ll feel very hurt and foolish if he ignores the text or takes ages to reply, because he’s busy with the French woman. That may not be the case but it’s pretty off putting.

Think he may show her the text.
Plus so what if he's with a french women or any women for that fact, you don't like him your just feeling a little jealous and that's fine.
Distract yourself!
If he was good people you would still be with him, left her deal with what he has to offer.

Ok I thought you were all going to say I'm overreacting so I feel worse now. Trust me to have been born English and dull!

You are not dull. Don't let him dull your sparkle.

Write notes but don't send them. Sleep on it. And see how you feel in the morning.

Of course you're overreacting - you broke up, you've no business getting het up about him seeing someone else. What are you doing stalking him on FB? Just mute him or unfollow or unfriend, and do something else instead.

Delete his number and keep busy!

Yep, write notes in a notebook but don’t send them. You could even sit down and write out how you feel (apparently if you burn it afterwards it can help you come to terms with your feelings for him - might be an old wives take though!).

I split up with a long term ex and went no contact with him as he had cheated on me. Writing it all down in a notebook really helped me not get in touch with him, even when my sadness turned to anger. He wouldn’t have cared what I felt anyway. I found this notebook when I moved house recently, it was a good reminder not to be duped by an emotionally manipulative twat again!

Good luck OP.

best not to have relationship with someone at work, so it is your lucky escape. dont text.
