Well, this is an easy one for me because I have a restraining order stating that my STBX cannot contact me except by email, and he hasn't emailed me in two weeks. I think he realizes he can't control me anymore, so he's moved on to others (unfortunately, my 14 year old son).
For those of you who need encouragement to stay strong....I'll be thinking about you. It's hard, but it's worth it. Stand your ground, and keep your distance.

I'm in for Day 14. Heard something good at an AA meeting last night, which the speaker pertained to drinking, but I took it as a relationship with my ex. Here it is:
I was like a dog screwing a skunk
I never got all I wanted,
but I sure had all I could stand.
Hope that helps us all to have no contact again! I'm rooting for us.
Have a good day everyone.

Hey Everyone,
It's Monday morning and I'm dreading it. Either way I'm going to be hurt today. If he does write, it will be somehting I don't want to hear; and if he doesn't I'll be disappointed.
But I'm trying to think positive thoughts i.e. "I don't need him"; "all he does is hurt me"; I need to stay strong and let go".
I can do this - I can do this - I can do this...

You hang in there dustygirl - giving him space is probably a very good idea. And you're absolutely right - You can't control him. Now if only I could learn that about my ex...lol
I feel so weak sometimes. My intellectual side tells me to move on.....he's playing games.....my emotional side still pines for him. Arrrrrrgh!!!!!

Hurts so Bad - I know the feeling. Everything tells me the leave, run as fast as I can. He's just using me until he can figure out what he wants or if his wife is willing to reconcile.
He needs space - LOTS OF IT - but I am afraid that if I give it too him, he'll be gone - but then he was never mine to begin with.
I got a speeding ticket on the way in to work today, from his house and so I am not only frustrated with him, but really mad at myself as I should have been home last night.

Boy do I know that feeling dustygirl.
I sometimes think that if I stop contact, he'll forget about me. But then again, I remember a saying someone on here had taped to her computer (sorry can't remember who it was) that said "How can I miss you if you don't go away?"
Who knows which train of thought is right.
You hang in there today. I will try to do the same. So far no word from him.

I haven't been able to start the no contact yet, but I read these threads in hope to absorb some of all of your strength to help me be able to do it one day soon.
I heard this song during lunch and I thought you all would like to read the lyrics....it's by Brooks and Dunn...the title is "It's Getting Better All The Time"
I don't stop breathing every time the phone rings
My heart don't race when someones at my door
I've almost given up thinkin' your ever gonna call
I don't believe in magic anymore
I just don't lie awake at night
Asking God would get you off my mind
It's getting better all the time
It's getting better all the time
Yeah, I got to work on time again this morning
This old job is all that I got to live
And no one even noticed I'd been crying
At least I don't have whisky on my breath
Yeah, I think I'm gonna make it
'Cause God won't make a mountain I can't climb
It's getting better all the time
It's getting better all the time
God, I hope your happy
Girl, I wish you well
I just might get over you
You can never tell
I always thought that I'd do something crazy
If ever saw you out with someone else
But when the moment came last night
I couldn't say a word, I stood there in the dark all by myself
Yeah, I could of said a million things
All I did was keep it locked inside
It's getting better all the time
It's getting better all the time
It's getting better all the time

Hi goddess,
I've only been around a short while, but ever day I see these strings of posts re: no contact. I think I've figured it out--it's a bunch of women (maybe men, too) who are supporting each other to stay away from abusive ex partners.
There can be a powerful draw back into toxic relationships. Each relationship is a mixture of toxic and nurture. We try and hope for more nurture...but sometimes swallow a lot of toxic to get the good. I'm rambling here now, but anyway I think that's what the thing is.
Way to go, y'all! Hang in.
