My BF and I have had a rocky relationship for the past few years. I got tierd of waking up and being back to square one. There haven't been any changes to make better lives for us. I've "ended" it a bizzilion times ... we some how end up starting to talk again... and next thing you know we are a couple again.

I have to stick to my guns this time and it's very hard. I've asked him not to call me anymore because it makes it to hard. Last night I had a great night out by myself... window shopping, book store, and groceries. He didn't call me and I thought I was home free... but of course he called towards the end of the night... how was your night, what did you do, etc... and then I get sucked in wondering what he was up to, doing, etc. He did ask me to meet him for drinks and talk and I DECLINED. He seemed shocked because I always would. One small victory to get over this.

I just hope I am strong enough not to go back into our normal pattern. Of course I care for him and miss him, I just know my life won't grow or get better the way we have been so it's time to really end. I don't know why this is so hard. I am worried about getting through the next few weeks even though I've made lots of plans to stay busy. There are times when I get really sad and miss him. We've never gone more than three days without talking in four years. I'm strong enough that I won't call him. I just hope I can get through this....

Welcome to the board!!! I think you are on the right track. No contact will be hard but I think it will help you make the break up a permanet thing if you can stick to it. I also think it's good that you're staying busy.....it's a great start and we're always here if you need some encouragement or advice. Good luck and keep us posted!!
