- Three weeks ago, following a health scare, I made a decision to part ways with a "friend" of 40-plus years: cigarettes. I was taken to the emergency room, thinking I was surely having a stroke or heart attack. Fortunately, it was neither. I promised...
- I am now in Month 11 of NC with my EX-N. A few days ago, a female Facebook "friend" of mine posted a photo of my EX-N to my FB page. The picture was from her recent birthday party. In the photo, he was smiling broadly and was seated next to a...
- After nine months NC with my EX-N, I was "forced" to see him again on Friday, 8/24/12, at a reunion commemorating those of us who grew up in the same neighborhood. Those of you who are familiar with my story may remember that I touched on this in a...
- I am now in my 8th month NC with my EX-N. It has not been easy, but am soooo proud of the progress I have made. My healing has been significant, mainly because of the support I've received from the wonderful women here, as well as my family, and...
- Okay, so I haven't posted here in a while because I've moved on - literally. I love my new apartment (and my new town), to which I moved just one week ago. While I'm absolutely THRILLED that my EX-N will NEVER sully my new digs with his emotional...
- Okay, here's my dilemma: I've been invited to a concert on February 4th, where my EX-N will DEFINITELY be in attendance. I really want to go, but I want to AVOID HIM at all costs. How do I keep my distance from that crazy snake-in-the-grass and...
- Okay, so I'm going into my second month of NC with my EX-N, and I feel great about that. However, there is an event coming up where I will be "forced" to speak with him. Both he and I are committee members of a yearly reunion (held every July). ...
- I want to share with everyone an original quote, penned by my older daughter. It's definitely food for thought, albeit easier said than done when it comes to the N's (or EX-N's) in our lives. Enjoy!"Resolutions? Nah! I think every day is another...
- Today is my 38th day of NC, and I feel really good about that. For the past couple of days, however, I find myself trying to "rush" through my healing process. I've been telling myself things like, "The relationship was only 3 months long; you...
- I received a letter from my Ex-N today and, frankly, I'm a bit shaken up. (Last night, I had an overpowering feeling that I would "hear" from him.) Following is the contents of the letter, verbatim:"Hope things are well with you. Something told...
- It's official! Today marks my 30th day of NC with my EX-N. It has not been easy, and while I am happy to have gotten this far with NC, I will be soooo grateful for the day when I'm no longer torturing myself with, "Why did he hurt me?" "Did he...
- On 12/12/11, I will have gone through one month of no contact with my EX-N. In previous posts, I mentioned that I "Unfriended " and blocked him on Facebook. He also sent me an "I'm Sorry" email, to which I DID NOT RESPOND. I also mailed his...
- Many of you here already know my story. (See "Confused", my first post, 11/25/11.) I just want to share with everyone a "cryptic" email I received from my N today. This is the first direct contact I have received from him since he "left" 3 weeks...
- Today was a very challenging day for me. I cried nearly half the day. The relationship has been over for 2 weeks, yet I can't seem to stop thinking about him. I came close to calling him a couple of times, but managed to stop myself. I am in so...
- I recently ended a 3-month relationship with an emotionally and verbally abusive man. Intellectually, I know that ending the relationship was the best thing to do; however, I am having a difficult time concentrating on little else except how hurt...
