Well feeling pleased as its 14 days since I had NC with my ex. Ok, so it was me ringing him the last time to ask 'why we couldnt fight for our relationship' nonsense, but I think its a big achievement. Even commenting on how hard it is may offer support for those that are newly heartbroken.

So, I thought we could all do a tally of where we are at with NC, and keep it going every week. We are all strong right??!

14 DAYS! Yeh!

Its been a while for me and NC now, and I think its nearly a few months! Just shows what happens when you lose track.

*Hugs Calpearl.. hold in there honey!*

Other than that clarity has made me see what a superb person I am, and I deserve alot better than the crap I have had to endure for someone's momentary 'excitement' phase. Excitment my ass..... don't ever mess with me again, you unworthy EX!

Keep strong people!

Three days ... it's been three days since we officially broke up, but 23 days since the beginning of the break-up discussion.

It is so hard since he is the first person I want to call when something happens in my life and has been for more than 19 months.

This message board has been a great support for me. Reading all of your stories, advice and success has kept me going. Thank you!

Well it has been 20 days since NC with Ex.

Its been 5 weeks since he broke up with me.

Its been hard, especially when some of my friends are telling me to call him just to see how he's doing, etc.. But everytime I about call him I get really nervous and I just think what if I call he sees that its me and cringes at the thought of having to talk to me.

We both said we would keep in touch, but right now I don't think I'm ready to talk to him.

I have accepted his decision and I respect it. I even think that right now it is the best thing for us. I do hope to have a friendship with him eventually, but its too soon right now.

We were together 4.5 years, He is 22, I am 21. He broke it off because he didn't want to be in a relationship right now, needed space to figure out what he wanted to do with his life, etc.

Future possibilities are endless....

In my past break-ups I tried to let the guy be the one to initiate first contact after breaking up, unless I was the one who did the dumping, in which case I'd avoid them at all cost for several months and then start being polite on the street again, lol. I just felt there was a sort of time period between the break-up and first contact that was critical to getting over the other person, and that communicating too soon after just prolonged the agony, kwim? I learned from my first on-again, off-again relationship that was best for me and the guys I was with.

Its 10 days of NC for me with my ex since our break up. I have to say i still have strong urge of contacting him in any form but i keep reminding myself that i have said all i have to said to him (via email). There is nothingelse i can do beside grieve and miss him... and i certainly dun want him to think i m needy and i n dun want to irritate him any further for being a 'pest'.
Should one day, there is a regret in this relationship, it will not be me.

CONGRATS! You're doing good! NC is the way to go to getting past the hurt and moving on in the healing process, I think. (((HUGS))) and it does get easier!
