He texted me happy birthday today and I was strong enough to resist the urge to not text him back, I'm feeling really proud of myself.

how are you feeling right now under the pride? relieved, sad, shaky, or all of it mixed together?
I'm not sure how I feel about it, I want to be sad but at the same time I have to keep reminding myself that we just weren't a good fit for each other
wow that's great!
that pride you’re feeling matters. when i didn’t reply, it wasn’t about punishing them. it was me choosing my peace for once. sitting with that feeling helped me trust myself again
i remember this exact moment. that birthday text hit me like a punch. i stared at my phone for HOURS. not replying felt weirdly painful but also powerful. proud of you, seriously
my ex's birthday is after tomorrow. and i am fighting not to text. she is used to me fixing things but this time i am really not. so if i resist the urge to text then it will be a big step to my healing. and i would be really proud as well.
wishing you the best of luck with that, let me know if you're successful:)
