Leaving on Tuesday

Well I did it! I took a job out of state and am leaving the ex behind Tues. I have mixed emotions about it but since there is no chance of reconciliation, this is the best thing for me. I've been packing all day and have most of my stuff ready to go. I'm wtg until Tues to pack the computer and dvd player and yes I'm even taking the shower curtain (I picked it out and I really really like it so heck, it's going with me).
The ex has decided to let his mooch of a brother stay in the apt (job free--he says hes looking but I've not seen it/ rent free/ party all the time etc) while the ex moves in with a friend. He says its his friend from the gym but I don't believe it, yet I don't ask b/c I'm better off not knowing and as much as I don't like it, it's none of my business. Gosh that sucks to admit!

So I'll be driving back to NY Tues and leaving for family vacation Thurs 4am and will be gone for 10 days. I got a new phone and didn't give the ex the #. I still have the old one but won't be using it so he'll have no contact with me for at least 10 days.
An ex-from 15 yrs ago and I have been talking but we're just friends. He's gonna meet up with me on vacation. I'm really looking forward to it. Take my mind off of things for awhile.

I'll keep you all posted on my "progress"

Best of luck! I think it will be good for you to have a whole new life routine that you won't associate so much with your ex. I was with my ex for about half my college life so I am looking forward to having a whole new routine when I graduate next month and (hopefully!) begin working a "real" job. Not only that, but being so far away will kind of force your psyche to get over things. Again, good luck!

Wow, I'm so relieved for you that you are moving out of state and away from this person. I know what it's like to have to still "live" with an ex after a breakup, and I know what it's like to have that ex rebound almost immediately into another full blown relationship (mine took 2 weeks to "mourn" our breakup). Your healing will really begin once you are away from someone who treated you so poorly. Good luck with that new move and have fun on vacation! You deserve a break from the drama you've just had to live through.
