I havent been doing much posting lately. after me and the exBPDgf called it quits., I have been commited to staying way from her with some very LC always iniated by her. Its been almost 6 month since the break up and IM feeling better. alot better. so there is hope, if you just stay away from them. They will try their best to pull you back in for one more round, if you let them. I lost count of how many recycles we did in 2.7 years but it was crazy. Mine has resorted to texting about every 3 weeks. The last being christmas eve. She sent a texting telling me how she was thinking of me and How she missed my family. Which is a joke since she never wasnted to ever be around them. She was around them I think a total of 4 times in almost 3 years but now she missess them. LOL. BUt anyway I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas. This was my first in almost 3 years that she didnt ruin for me. and I must say it was nice. There is hope, you just have to stick by your decision and in time it will get better.

It sounds like you are doing great, Mitchell. You clearly recognize it's for the best that you are not in contact. Stay strong!

Better yet, go back in time to the day you met her, and walk away. Wish I would have, there were signs even then... .

I love post like this one, I am just out after finally setting my head to it. I couldn't be happier, now we share a daughter so I will never be free and every interaction with her is awful. But I can say this she isn't my problem any more, I don't and wont have to try and fix her problems any longer and that is something that makes me smile this morning.
