This is Op. You're terrific. Thanks.Anonymous wrote:Yes, I agree totally. She is renting a lot of space in your head and this is unhealthy for both of you.
After a break-up, it is never a good idea to remain "friends." At first. Both parties need to take time to properly grieve their losses, heal and eventually move on with their lives.
To remain in contact after the separation is just clueless. And to sleep with each other at the same time is just asking for trouble. As your post clearly illustrates.
I know it is one of life's toughest challenges, but make a vow to yourself NOW that from today forward, you will not subject your heart to any more hurt. That you will have self-respect and dignity for yourself and that you are much better than this.
Do not contact her again. Even if you have to leave a post-it on your phone, do so. Do not answer her if she calls, best thing is to block her from contacting you. Facebook, e-mail, everything, etc.
Try to surround yourself with healthy relationships and avoid anything toxic. Find a new focus for yourself. Meet new people. Engage in a new or favorite hobby. Take a class. Volunteer. Anything but her.
You got this.
Anonymous wrote: Sooooo, my ex and I tried a friendship pretty soon after we broke up. We just hooked up a couple of days ago. I stopped by there today, because I was in her area, and another guy was there. I blocked her phone number, and don't want anything to do with her, anymore. I know this sounds crazy, but we tried to really be good friends, where we tell each other everything. She is sleeping with this dude, with no protection, and she's slept with 2 or 3 guys, unprotected over the last 6 weeks. I guess, what I'm asking is- she's wrong for me in every way, and don't want to be with her, but how do I get her out of my head. How can someone, so wrong and destructive, take up so much of my head space? Damn it.
Op here. This isn't really relevant, because I'm not blaming her. She's not wrong. I just realized that I don't want to hook up with her, while she's with other people, but at the same time, we have a history, and it's still hard to get her out of my head. I'm human. I don't like envisioning her with someone else, which is why the title of this thread is that it came back to bite me. Yep, I guess I do tend to attract woman that are a tad self destructive, but I have my issues too, so oh' well. Thanks for the advice, guys.Anonymous wrote:OP--she's your EX meaning no commitment to you; and you "just stopped by" (with no advance warning, no doubt) and she happened to be with another guy?
It makes you sound like an obsessive stalker. But it doesn't say anything at all about her.
