Last week I seperated from my partner of 5 years, this was his choice, I am completely devastated. I have been researching help on line and all I can find is the No Contact rule- is this the way to go?

Thank you lovely lady!

Yes I do work full time and agree it is a great outlet. I love my job. It keeps me sane! The weekends are tough but I get myself dressed and I go out to the shops do housework hahah I find that therapeutic ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

i know thereโ€™s a lot of love, particularly from my end and youโ€™re right - what will be will be. I wonโ€™t ever not love him.

I am getting stronger! Thank you for your beautiful words xx

hi happy, how are you going? I went back home, we had a nice time, we talked about a lot. I think there is hope:) Not sure he is away for two weeks, then when he gets back I am away for two weeks, that will bring us up to easter, will see how that goes- I might spend it there. How was your cooking? I always find cooking a good distraction, hope your weekend is being kind to you xx

Hello shazzy

Iโ€™ve had a good weekend too. Iโ€™ve been baking and to be honest Iโ€™ve been seeing my man too. It feels like home. Which is not helpful because weโ€™re not together and I canโ€™t hurt again. But, this time Iโ€™m being a bit more selfish (which is not me ๐Ÿ˜”) but itโ€™s my defence mechanism. Iโ€™m happy you got to speak with your man xxx sending you much love ๐Ÿ’•

Hi Happy,

That's great you are seeing each other- I guess we sort of are, but he still wants time to sort himself out, that's fair enough- I think I am still very much in the "It Can Hurt stage}, so yes, I am applying a few strategies to myself- still struggling tho. xxx

Hello shazzy

yes I know this stage. I am just doing my thing and being a good human and trying to sort out my life. Iโ€™m happy that weโ€™re talking so that is a positive. I hope youโ€™re ok too xx

Hi Happy,

Good for you- I shall take a leap out of your book ๐Ÿ™‚ xx have a great day!
