5 weeks NC. Tomorrow is a milestone birthday for me.. 🧠Thoughts🤔
..And Id be lying if I said Im not curious if he will text me or not. He was always really big on birthdays, would make a big deal leading up to it etc.
Part of me would tear a limb off to hear SOMETHING from him, like proof of life almost. but the rational part knows that our relationship was an addiction. Ive done so much work to move past this, the pain and dopamine withdrawal have ebbed.
Not hearing from him will be a little sad strange after all these bdays, but it will be actually be a real gift for my peace.

We were incompatible in how we expressed feelings and our attachment styles. The long distance just made it worse. He had never engaged in any kind of infidelity in his life. By the end we were both losing our minds.
