When your confidence starts to wane, come here and read and post. It will get you through those first difficult weeks. It's up to you to stop being the cockroach that gets stepped on. Let him invest in the blow up doll, it's what he deserves.

You are avoiding him for the wrong reasons. We say this all the time around here, and since you've been a lurker you've probably heard it: NC is a gift. Love yourself - you are worth it :)
Trust me, he IS a tool. When you get the fog cleared and your radar back on track, you will go back and read your post and think "what the heck was I thinking!!!!" You will look at things so differently. But don't spend any time worrying about him. This is about YOU. I was lonely for a long, long time too. You said in your post to Iddy and MC that you are good at bargaining. I was REALLY good at bargaining - and that got me 7.5 years of pain and misery. Stay strong and NC so like you said, there won't be a "next time"
