Why removing him made me feel worse: my heartbreak journey

Author

I finally did it and I felt horrible right after. Its been 2.5 months since he broke up with me, I'm still not over it and that's why I thought "why would I give myself another pain removing him completely?".
I always felt the pressure to post stories and I was satisfied when his profile popped on my views. That didn't matter though. I also didn't watch his so I wouldn't get stressed. I thought that removing him might mess with his ego, but he clearly showed that he didn't care and he hurted me at the end.

As time goes by, I'm thinking that he might have a new girl that he likes/to talk to, so why I'd sit there "hopping"? I was feeling a bit embarrassed. He always watched my stories quickly but he viewed the last one after 16 hours! That made me finally do it, but I regret killing our last "interaction".
Right now Im thinking that I want to follow him again sometime, because I feel so empty... that'd be embarrassing though, especially if he didn't follow me back, because he has a public account. I wish I hadn't do it now.

god, that immediate wave of regret after removing them is so real. i remember hitting unfollow on my ex and instantly feeling like i cut my own safety net, sitting there staring at my phone regretting killing that last tiny thread of connection.
