When I first saw the subject of this post and who wrote it I thought "OH NO! She was doing SO WELL!"
But now that I read it you are STILL DOING SO WELL! Yay! Yay! Yay!
I am so thrilled for you! Please don't stop coming here because people like me need you here giving us hope to find that light at the end of the tunnel!
Thank you Cloud ten!
Yes we officially became boyfriend and girlfriend on Valentine's day! It's very cute as we are both over 50. He is a very nice, kind, empathetic person. He is definately not a BPD or npd. Just a regular guy! He cooked dinner 2 times last week for me at his apt after working. He even invited my children for dinner one night. He told me that he hasn't cooked for anybody in the five years that he lived there, but now wants to cook! It's really wonderful!
Honestly he is a non, so it makes it easy for us to talk about our experiences and for him to understand my cautious behavior and respect my boundries which are very clearly defined.
N/C whatsoever with my ex was the only way to go for myself to move forward in the beginning of the healing process. You can follow my posts and journey! It was incredible, but similar to so many here.
You will get there with time and space away from the exes!
