The list...

Writing this as much for myself as everyone else.

Having a horrendous day. I mean over the top bad. Gonna pour a stiff one kind of day and crank up sad yet angry songs on Spotify.

It would be so easy to text him, say I could use a friend, slip into that fake escape from my reality. (Don't you know I was his BFF? He told me so. That he loved me more than anyone, only a tiny bit less than his kids but more than his cat. Strangely left out the dozen OW. Seriously, WTF? It's so laughable and tragic at the same time. But I digress...)

The only thing that is stopping me is THE LIST. If you haven't made one, please do. I was scared to do it. Didn't want to see it all in black and white. And it's long, peeps, as I know everyone's is here. But it stops me. Every.Single.Time.

Do the list if you haven't. And then read it. As many times as it takes. Trust me.

dunzo, did yours have a dozen OW for real? Mine did too. Today has been a horrific day for me too, after getting news about him yesterday. I sometimes feel like I'm never going to emerge from this hell :(

Oh and Nadine

You will emerge. I believe that a hundred percent. I don't think it's any accident at all that any of us found this site. Don't ever, ever, ever give up.

So true......

I could use a friend, slip into that fake escape from my reality. (Don't you know I was his BFF? He told me so. So true, what you wrote, I been fighting all day not to contact him. Mine told me the same thing, you're my best friend etc... You said it so well, it is a fake escape. It won't accomplish anything, just more pain to contact him. YUK!!! I will pull out my list and go over it again, thanks for the reminder.

I BIG time hear you on that

I BIG time hear you on that "fake escape from reality." that was me tonight. I thought getting a hit of him like a drug would make me feel better.. but as all dangerous addictions do.. they make you feel worse. reading the words "don't text me again." from my exN when I was already feeling crappy made me feel REALLY crappy. contact=pain pain PAAAIN

Thats it

Its just an escape from the boredom of reality..with my N it was a lot of things but never boring..the boring takes some getting used to..prob should rename it from 'boring' but you know what I mean...even the ignoring phases felt like cat/mouse...something to get over..now well .. trying to adjust..
