Been a while..

It's been a while since I've posted here, a few months probably. I haven't visited the group in a while. My exwBPD and I have been broken up since July, so about 6 months. He tried coming back in October and I found out he's also seeing someone else so I blocked him on everything and haven't spoken to him since or unblocked him. I moved to my dream city (New Orleans). I'm working my dream job. I'm teaching at Tulane University, a super prestigious university. I'm making new friends, going out on dates, exploring my new surroundings. I have plans to out with some girl friends tonight. Life is good. No, it's great. Do I miss my exwBPD, especially since we had plans to move here together? Sure. Do I think about him? Of course. But I am no longer trauma bonded to him and it feels amazing. I think of him with more of a nostalgic feeling than anything. I will probably always love him and have a place in my heart for him, but I no longer have any desire to be with him. To go back to the anxiety ridden nights, staying up until 6 in the morning wondering if he was out cheating on me. Walking on eggshells, wondering when the next time he was going to break up with me. The sickening feeling I would get in the pit of my stomach when he would start distancing himself. I say all this to let you know that it DOES get better. You will know when you have had enough. Sending you all love!
