I did it! I made it past the dreaded 3 day breaking NC loop. It wasn't easy. But I just kept telling myself. Why am I fighting for someone who isn't fighting for me?
This morning I have started having thoughts of the things that I weren't happy with in the relationship, and a realisation that he is probably right and we do have incompatibilities.
Anyway, I got up this morning went for a walk down to the beach, had breakfast in the sun and came back to my hotel and did some stretching. If you are struggling, moving your body really does help a little bit.
it will be a busy day today with the work conference, and my boss who is a very old friend arrives today, so I am looking forward to that.
Stay strong everyone. See you tomorrow. 🫶

finally getting past day 3 and it felt like i'd climbed a mountain 😭 then i started remembering the parts that actually made me unhappy too. that shift surprised me.
I hope each day I get stronger. Day 3 had always been my biggest hurdle.
ahhh seeing this made me smile! I hope you feel very proud - congrats on making it past day 3! 🎉🎉
Thankyou 🫶
i'm really glad you got yourself outside. for me, keeping plans with people i care about stopped me from reaching for my phone every five minutes. enjoy that time with your friend
It certainly helps.
same!! finally I break the loop, send you hugs!!
Right back at you. 🫶
do you think being away at the conference has helped you see the relationship a little differently, or is it mostly the no contact finally starting to settle in?
I think a little bit of both to be honest.
well done!!! going for long walks helped me tremendously and helped ease the anxiety. I liked writing a list of pros and cons in our relationship to help me not spiral over the fond memories I have of him and missing him. Instead I could see clearly, why was I longing for a man who couldn't deliver what I deserved. I still love him, but im learning to let go
I really like that suggestion. I might do that.
I'm on like my first hour so I hope I can get through this I told all of my friends no contact don't play the telephone game
Goodluck. 🤩
distraction helps a lot! you’ve got this!
It does help out until night and your by yourself so maybe go on call with your friends or watch something
its definitely difficult. it's good to get distracted
I am very proud of you!!!! The main thing is to do everything good from yourself and for yourself, and not to prove something to your ex.♥️
I don't feel the need to prove anything to him. Ive just kinda accepted it. You can't force someone to have feelings if they don't 🤷♀️
