    I have been trying my best to follow the 5 step plan. It’s just so difficult to keep it up.

    Well we just recently broke up two days ago. His Facebook profile picture of us and relationship status has still remained the same. I go to a small school with him and bump into him more often than I’d like. Also, when I see him he seems to be happy which hurts. So whenever I see him I pretend I’m happy too even though I’m hurting. But since then I haven’t said a word to him.

    Hmm..yeah, same with my boyfriend (well ex) and I. I don’t understand completely why we broke up. That is absolutely frustrating because it’s harder to move on when the past is still cloudy.
    About the twitter thing, you shouldn’t worry much about it. People flirt with others when they don’t feel complete on their own so they use others to give them a small feeling of completeness. I know this because I am like that. And I’m sure you have been checking his twitter feed a lot to see what he’s been up to and how he’s feeling after the breakup. But if you feel like the constant worry of not knowing what he is doing bothers you so much, then just keep “following” him on twitter. Don’t forget to post things yourself proving that you are strong and not desperate for his or any other mans attention. But also, keep up on the NC. Make him wonder why you’ve been so confider after the break up through your posts. Make him become curious of what you’ve been up to. As far as him talking to the other girl, ignore that. It is merely a sign of him being too delicate to be on his own. I doubt that they will be together for long. After all, she is a rebound. Keep your head held high and keep yourself busy. I know as hard as it is, try to push yourself to have other things on your mind. It isn’t healthy to have the extra stress and worry about him. Remember to focus on yourself as well. Hey! Take yourself on a spa day, go to the park alone and read a book, go out to the movies with your friends!!! Stay positive, doll.

    Hmm..well maybe you should have replied to his twitter response. He was curious and that’s why he responded to that post. You should continue with the NC until he comes to you for something with meaning. If you feel like that may be too long or want to talk to him as soon as possible, you should write him a letter. A nice, sincere letter. Nothing about your past relationship. Talk as if you are trying to start something new and healthy. What was the cause of the breakup anyways?

    I am sort of in the same situation. Actually I’ve been on both sides of this with the same guy. In the beginning of my own relationship, I was extremely depressed and anxious. I did self harm and made my (ex)boyfriend go through hell and back. He didn’t mind back then since he was so in love with me at the time. Once I became more emotionally stable, He told me he resented me for it.

    Do you resent her at all for making you feel like you’re been strung along?

    Now, my (ex)boyfriend and I are no longer together. Like your girlfriend, my ex was no longer the same person. We’d have constant arguments over the most stupid shit. It got to the point where we went on a three week on and off break. Finally, he came to the conclusion that he didn’t want to be with me. It shattered me. But I’ve done all I possibly could to give him support and make him feel better. But in his eyes, I’ve only caused him pain because of my past mistakes and his own depression combined. I suggest that you give her time. Give her space to figure herself out and continue with the NC. And whatever you do, don’t openly complain about the way she has been acting. It can easily turn around on you and make you seem like the bad guy. But yes, like I said, just give her time and space. If things are meant to be, then they will turn around for the better.

    I believe that you should continue the NC as well. Maybe he is playing hard to get and wants you to chase after him, which makes him in control. You want him to be begging beck for you. After all, he did break up with you. You don’t want to give him immediate power for that again. Play hard to get as well. Make him wonder why you’re not acting needy and make him worry in that sense. Just be in control of the situation, hun. DO NOT freak out. Take a deep breath, step back, and do what feels right for you. Remember to nourish your mind, body, and soul by doing what you love.
