wow, tomorrow is 3 months and about 7 months since we split. I am so proud of myself. I ran into my ex at pride while on a date with a new person I really like.
I had warned my date I would probably see her and it may bring up some feelings for me.
we saw her and I was totally chill! I gave her a nice hug and when I walked away she was like "Oh! that was your ex? you gave her such a nice hug". (not in like a jealous way they were just surprised by how chill I was after how i had prepared them for how hard it might be.)
my intention is to go a year no/low contact. so we still have a lot way to go but it's getting easier and i go for much longer stretches without thinking of her at all.
keep going y'all even if it takes months or years. it does get easier 💓

see yourself handle that with so much peace. i’ve been through the no contact stretch too, and those longer gaps where they stop taking up your whole day are such a relief.
this is the next step that I am terrified about we have been broken up since March but official non contact and my final goodbye was 4 days ago I know the day is coming where he will show up not because he loves me or misses me but just to see if he still has that power over me and I dont know how I will react I am hoping I will be strong like you a nice hug small chat and move along ❤️🩹🥹
seeing my ex after months and bracing myself for a wave of feelings, then realizing i was okay. that little “wait, i’m actually okay” moment felt HUGE for me.
did you feel like seeing her changed anything for you, or did it just confirm that you’re already moving forward?
I am soooo proud of you!! you found someone else!!! and you are moving on and living your life without them!!! I need to start my moving on process now!!!😁😁😁
