Coincidence or much needed "sign"??

As you might know, I was struggling with how to stop talking to my ex who had attacked, bit, and choked me one night. It was so hard for me to not talk to him because I love him and didn't want to hurt him. As this was once again going through my head and as I was getting an itch to return his phone call (yes I had the phone in my hand and was debating with myself), I pulled up to an intersection. Painted all over the side of a large SUV was the message:

"If he hurts you, he loves you not." along with a picture of a flower that had been half plucked (as in: he loves me, he loves me not)

This message made me gasp and drop my phone. It came at the perfect time. I realized that no matter how much it may hurt him to stop talking to him, it hurts me more to continue our communication. And, he hurt me so badly physically that he doesn't deserve to talk to me! I just thought I'd share that with yall. I thought it was really amazing and perfect timing! Now my wallpaper on my desktop is a flower that is half plucked (google images: he loves me, he loves me not) to remind me that he loves me not!!

No coincidence there. God tends to work in very mysterious ways. Hey, this is a great one too. You can put this on your fridge.

No man is worth your tears and the one who is won't make you cry.

Hang in there. YOu deserve better! One trick I have is if I have an overwhelming need to talk to him I'll tell myself that I'll call him tomorrow. Sometimes the feeling passes by the time tomorrow rolls around. If it hasn't then I start it over. I'll call tomorrow. I've gotten through 5 days now doing this. He's sent texts every day and I haven't responded!

Right sign at the right time! The universe does work in mysterous ways!
Just thought I'd add my 2cents of a quote my mother had on the fridge when I was younger..
"Men of genius are admired. Men of wealth are envied. Men of power are feared. But only men of character are trusted."

Good Luck to you!
