Broke NC after 2 months...

Yesterday morning I was so proud of myself, I was celebrating TWO MONTHS of NC. He hasn’t contacted me since final D&D, so I didn’t have to worry about ignoring any of his phone calls or texts, which has made it so much easier on me. But still, in two months I hadn’t given him any clue as to what was going on my life by contacting him. And then, last night….. I was at a concert and having an amazing time. I was dancing with my friends to the band, and I accidentally hit my ear, and I felt my diamond earring fall out. He had bought me those earrings for Christmas. I was SO upset, it was the only materialistic thing I had left from our relationship, and I wore them every single day. I went to the bathroom cause I just needed to cry (..I had a few drinks, so I was a little more emotional than normal haha) and then what did I do?! AFTER TWO MONTHS of doing so well, I texted him from the bathroom. Stupid, Stupid, Stupid. I didn’t even think about what I was doing, I wrote “ugh, just lost a diamond earring :( ” The second I hit ‘send’ a huge feeling of regret consumed me, then I cried a little more in the stall because a) I was so pissed at myself for contacting him, b) I lost the only thing I had left of him, and c) I was letting the thoughts of him ruin my great night. I just prayed he wouldn’t text back, realistically I knew he wouldn’t, and of course he never did. I’m just so frustrated because he completely washed his hands of me when I did everything for him and loved him so deeply. I don‘t even exist to him anymore, yet he still consumes my mind. So, this morning I took him, his sister, and his mother out of my cell so I don’t have another unexpected mishap. Back to day 1 of NC. Trying to look on the bright side, and at least I didn’t say I missed him or that I still think of him every day.
I read on here everyday, and I truly believe I wouldn’t have made it that long without all of your words of wisdom, I owe so much to all of you, so Thank You!! A little set back, but I’m going to keep going forward!

I know that it must hurt to lose a diamond earring....

But if it's any comfort - if you've ever read anything on "crystals" Diamonds carry a VERY POWERFUL energy. Given that it was a gift from someone who had a ton of negative energy - perhaps the loss was a good omen. I am sorry you are hurting. I was engaged once...and I noticed that although a very beautiful *and gaudy* ring...in my youth and naeivity I thought this really showed how much he loved me...I was stunned...elated...and although gaudy it was beautiful! BUT I noticed a tiny scratch on the surface. I know diamonds are not perfect but this really struck me, this "scratch on the surface" Eventually we broke up...years later of course. Instead of a diamond ring, I got to keep the baby boy...BUT I kept the ring. He never asked for it back, but I felt I should keep it for all my "pain and suffering" you know how that goes. He was fine with that...he's a good dad I have to say even though we disagree sometimes. Nonetheless, a few years later, someone stole the ring. I was heartbroken...but I reasoned, perhaps that "symbol" and representation of pain had another destination. http://www.sunnyray.org/Meaning-of-diamonds.htm Hugs!

Thanks Michele, I had no clue

Thanks Michele, I had no clue they carried that much energy, and in this case - all negative. I guess it might help that now every time I look in the mirror I wont have reminder of his ’false love’ I hadn’t taken them out since the day I got them. & like Hunter said, ill just have to buy a new pair (…after I save up for bit, money is very tight.. A reward to myselfwhen I make it 6 months NC maybe?! lol)

I agree with that statement!

I agree with that statement! I have a baby with my EXN, but I have minimal contact. I don't respond to anything unless it's in relation to the baby. I wouldn't have gone personally, I would have my own private party. My EXN will never lay eyes on me or speak to me ever again if I can help it! He's too damaging. Keep the communication to text messages only, he will only play havoc with your emotions.

Buy a new pair of earrings. My Guess is he will call in a few days. Either way it never feels good, silence or the stupidity of their communication. Start over. You'll get there. Hunter

at least he didn't reply!

at least he didn't reply! That could have really set you back maybe your ears were rejecting the N and wanted to be rid of those earrings?
