6 weeks no contact

6 weeks no contact from a relationship that was going nowhere. I had to do but it seems to be getting harder not easier.

Stick to it.

There is a no contact support thread on this board where others will support you.

You're doing very well at 6 weeks. Remember the reasons it ended, you don't want to undo the hard work.

May seem harder, because in the initial stages you probably thought they might try and contact you?

I'm assuming this was a romantic relationship?

lothermand · 05/03/2021 06:28

Sorry just re read your OP, yes it was a RR.

Even though we know we've made the right choice, I think there's part of us that thinks we may have made a mistake, you haven't, it'll be ok.

Well done on 6weeks!!!!

Re missing him, I think often it is fear. Will I meet anyone else type fear.

That kind if thinking can make people miss truly awful ex partners.

Is your self esteem ok? If not, maybe that's something to work on.

Maybe you're not missing him as much as you think and just a bit lonely x

madameaabd · 05/03/2021 10:34

Thanks everyone he did actually contact me once saying he is thinking about me. I didn't respond even though I miss him so much but nothing will change. I should block him but I just can't bring myself to do that it's like the final stage

Maybe I should explain he wasn't awful to me and he would get back together tomorrow if I said, but I want children and he doesn't.

That's rubbish if you still love him but want extremely different things. Month 2 is difficult, the relief of change is ebbing and the panic of your choice sets in. You've got to give it another few weeks. It will get easier, especially when lock down eases and you've got more distractions

ah that's sad but I think it has to be a deal breaker otherwise you would eventually resent him massively. Just keep thinking about that, you're doing great

Stick with it, it does get easier, I know from experience.

There is a NC support thread on here where you can get support too.

SoulofanAggron · 05/03/2021 11:19

Block him on everything. Just treat it as a physical action of your fingers. It's done in a few moments.

madameaabd · 05/03/2021 11:40

I feel so terrible ignoring his message I want him to know I still love him, but any type of contact will put me back to square one, and begin the whole cycle again. Not happy with him, not happy without him but I am hoping this way at least their might be light at the end of the tunnel 😢
