[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I am totally lovesick. I made it to nine days of no contact but then texted my ex something I thought he should no. He called me back, which I screened, then I called him back, the he called me back and we chatted. He ended the conversation by telling me when he'd be back in town and that he would be in touch.

I don't even know what I get out of it. Part of me wants to maintain a friendship, or FWB arrangement (we last slept together before he went out of town two weeks ago), because I miss him and I love him and I enjoy his company. But the wiser part of me knows I need to stop communicating, stop responding, and treat him like a stranger.

I wish I had the courage to pull the trigger. [/quote]

I get it.  [b]It easy for people to tout no contact.  For some of us, it’s really hard.[/b]  You do what you can.  Be strong when you can and when you can’t, welll, you just can’t.  No doubt getting over an ex takes much much longer this way.  But for you, this maybe the way you have to do it.  My analogy is it’s like holding onto a bouquet of ballons.  Every so often I let a few go.  Once I let them go, I panic and chase them but ultimately they’re gone.  Eventually all the ballons will be gone and I’ll be able to move on.  I think 9 days is pretty awesome.

It's only easy to recommend no contact because those of us who have done it both ways have already learned how much  better and more effective no contact actually is.  In other words, it reduces the pain, despite what you might think.  And for ALL of us it's really hard.[/quote]
