Limited contact 5

These two days were going great! I didn't text him almost at all, so he started texting me.

Then the evening I got a bit upset about something that happened to me and I shared with him. He replied. Today I asked him a question, he replied in 1-2 hours. He asked me a question, I replied in the same amount of time.

Then we didn't text for 9 hours and now he's the one texting first!

I must say that I feel so much relief, because I really feel how I'm slowly detaching from him!

Oh that rush when he texts first…it’s exhilarating.

But, then he won’t text for a while and it’s back to the bottom I usually go. The up and the down, it’s exhausting.

It really is exhausting. Especially when you texted him something quite important 5 hours ago and he still hasn't replied, even if you can see on some social media that he was active again and again and again, but hasn't even opened your message.... That's what's happening right now. I wouldn't care if I texted him for something meaningless, but here I ask him to arrange a meeting for us to say goodbye, because I will be moving abroad and the last time I saw him some bad things happened and I was mad at him and I don't want this to be our last moment.

Easy for me to say that you are better off. I’ve certainly heard it a ton from my supporters and I continue to ignore their words of caution and advice.

Maybe he is trying to act like he doesn’t care and that’s why he isn’t responding.

The killer for me is when you see on FB that they took the time to wish someone a random Happy Birthday but can’t bother to answer your text.

I also heard it a lot "he's not a real friend, let it go", but it's so hard to let go! We were dating for 20 months and decided our relationship doesn't have a happy future so we agreed to stay friends, because we really care for eachother. But he moved on in 5 days! And now he's acting like this....
