3 weeks NC!

I am now 3 weeks no contact! I am very happy about it. :-)

I have been going out with friends, living my life again.

Also, a girlfriend's hubby is an attorney. I was at their house last night, and he told me I can absolutely keep the ring and sell it. I didn't leave the N - he abandoned me. In texas, it is considered a gift. woohoo!

I was wondering if you have heard anything from him? Has anyone told you where he is or have you heard what he is up to? While I am so proud of you for 3 weeks NC it still has to be hard for him to literally up and leave. Weird.

Not a word

And I just blocked him from calling or texting. I have had friends offer to check up, but I don't even want to know. And I REFUSE to have him hear through the grapevine that I was asking about him. It would be harder if he had never done this before. The year we were broken up he would come back every few months, profess his love and stupidity, and disappear maybe a week later. I haven't cried at all. Strange...

omg....

Too strange! Mine was 1/2 Sicilian (mom's side) and 1/2 Northern Italian. Interestingly, his dad is a total sweetheart. Believes in putting family first. Never met his mom because she passed. But she created this monster!

WOW!

Really? Amazing! I think I am done with Italians now. LOL! I'd love to talk to the girl he dated for 10 years. That poor woman. He told me what he did to her. He had moved to Texas and she was still in Jersey. He wouldn't let her move down, knowing there are pretty women here. Someone broke into her apartment and tried to rape her. Cut her up pretty badly- she had to be life-flighted to he hospital. N always talked about how he flew there the next day, and spent $10k moving her to a new apartment and buying furniture. She was depressed - understandably. After he was back here, he said she would cal and cry. Apparently, after a month, he told her if she was going to cry all the time, not to call him anymore. She didn't ever call him again. Crazy!

Well done Amy

That's great news! I sold my engagement ring today! I got a fraction of the price for it but actually the greater bonus was the little bit of added freedom I feel today. Knowing you have taken a positive step towards feeling better will help you! I just looked on the money as a bonus, am going to pay it straight off my credit card as its money I didn't have before and what I do have is a step towards a better life, emotionally and financially! I sold it to a jeweller, not great time to sell engagement rings right now so I'm told but look on it as part of the process of moving on whatever you're able to sell it for! Fantastic! xoxox

Awesome!

I have started contacting jewelers. My center stone is 3 carats, so I am hoping to get a decent amount. I am so happy for you! WOOHOO!

Good for you!

That's great, yours is a much larger stone than mine was and I got about a third of the value, just slightly under so you should hopefully do quite well! Thank you! Am planning on drinking some champagne soon to celebrate that and my new job so I shall raise a glass to you! It really is liberating to sell it! Good luck! xo
