we went no contact, but then he broke it a couple weeks later. and i let him. and while he had already healed, because it was his decision to end things, i was still hurting. but regardless, i put him first, as usual, and tried being his “friend”, talking to him pretty regularly. but it wasn’t working. i didn’t like talking to him, and i knew i wouldn’t move on if i did. so yesterday i sent the text, explaining what i needed to do, finally putting myself first. and today i’m removing all his socials. it’s a fresh start now, let’s do this.

you carried the friendship on your back while he had already set it down. yesterday wasn’t just a text, it was you refusing to do that again.
i did the same thing once, tried to be his friend after he ended it. i hated every convo, felt fake. when i finally said i couldn’t anymore, i cried but also slept better. you’re not wrong for choosing yourself.
i remember doing that. blocked him on everything, thought i’d feel free. instead i just sat staring at my phone like an idiot. it’s the worst, watching them move on while you’re the one bleeding.
I’m proud of you! Bc you’re right, it won’t work. I tried that and it drug out over 4 years and now here I am back at square one hurting more than the first time and he wants to be friends again
