FREE BREAK UP SURVIVAL PLAN
So, on Jan.13th, 2 days ago, I sent my ex, Peter the NC message that said:
Hi,
I agree with you about the decision to break up, I really believe it was the best thing for both of us. I have some big decisions to make and I need some time to think them over. I would really appreciate it if you didn’t contact me during this time. I will be in touch when I am ready.
It's been 2 days, Day 2. I've been getting a text and phone calls in various numbers since through out our last contact and I haven't answered any of them, except for the text I got. Now, seems the text person, Gilbert is gone and won't hear from him since now he knows I'm not Christy, so he has the wrong person.
Day 2...
I'm feeling a lil anxious wanting to know if I should talk to him or not, but I won't. I was at first worried and scared to send the NC message to him, Peter my ex, but I went on to do after a few minutes and after reading and reading the NC message. I am going out tonight with my friends, letting myself go free, take my mind off of things and regain myself and my life back one day at a time! I will continue the NC rule for sures! I won't break it and if I get any more texts or calls from people/numbers Idk of I may only answer a few since it might be from a job place I'm applying to, a friend who I may not have yet, or something or should I not? If I answer and it's my ex or someone fooling around, I will immediately hang out, if it's my ex and talking nicely or whatever reason, I'll be nice, but cut the call short and keep the no contact rule for both us to keep and have.
Good day ya'll!! Having my hopes up to better good days and positivity!!
Changing will take a while, but nothing is gained at an instant unless your a robot or a fast learner!
I'm pretty sure my ex read and got the NC message and he hasn't contacted me personally through him.
hi.. ur doing very well, its great that ur going out and keeping urself busy
this nc really does work, mostly for ourselves and if our sorry ass bf's really do want us then they had better get their skates on and prove it hehe.. or mine can kiss my ass good bye :)there is only so much we can take and then everyone snaps.. think im finally realising that through the help of this site
and i hope u feel that way too :)have a great time
Yes, my going outs won't stop until I really don't feel like going, too tired, school work overload, etc
THANK YOU, stronger!!! :DDD I'm sooo glad you've been realizing things that you may not before. I can surely do the no contact, especially since done it before lol, but I can do it, I know I can, we all can!
For sures, the exes can kiss us goodbye if they don't bother reaching out to us, hehe
I'm gonna read all of the blue letter sites on the forum, the articles and everything, journal to put myself more together! Need it and want that! Hope you're doing same and keep continuing the positivity and great! Independent is where we ought to be, to be good with just being with ourselves
Hope to talk to you soon!!!
Day 3.
I'm feeling quite alright. Not wanting to do any contact with the ex and finally deactivated my facebook page so as to focus on me, and literally only me as to make only myself the number one priority as it may be shattered and gone lost somewhere so I'm gonna find it and be/keep being strong, learn, and be more humblier, patient, and more. I start school soon to so definately looking forward to that as it'll keep me busy and that'll be my priorities. Myself, this site, and school as well as having fun by going out with my friends.
Good day! Gonna keep strong.

Excellent Move MA!
That is the smartest step you (and any member) could take.
You have now drawn a line in the sand, and decided to "seriously" make a stand for your happiness.
You are well on your way to kicking loves ass.
Stay Strong!
Thank you for the feed back and thank you for your commentary! I definitely know and believe that deactivating my facebook was and is the smartest thing to do and the right thing to do for me as well as anyone in our, my disposition... I surely need it and so that's what I did. I like your interpretive of it: "You have now drawn a line in the sand, and decided to "seriously" make a stand for your happiness." &&thank you for saying that "I'm on my way to kicking loves ass" as that's where I want to be and stay there! I will keep strong and dedicate more time to this and me! Thank you again, administrator, S. Williams!
I surely want to plant a seed on the ground/dirt and blossom into a stronger, confident, wiser, independent, and self-lovable new being of me.
woohoo! a fellow Melanie! I love what you've written here:

That's a great mindset to have. Keep it up! Continue to work on yourself just a little bit each day, you'll be feeling better in no time. Everyone evolves at a different rate, so don't get discouraged.... it will happen if you work at it. I think the most difficult part about NC is the patience, but NC is awesome for you emotionally. It has sooo many benefits. You'll get as much out of it as you put in, though. It's really worth it so go out there and kick some booty
Hey melanieangels! Welcome to the forum! You're off to a fabulous start, good job on sending the NC message! There is gonna be ups and downs but ALWAYS remember to stay focused and if you have an urge to contact your ex, do something productive and that urge will surely pass!
I surely want to plant a seed on the ground/dirt and blossom into a stronger, confident, wiser, independent, and self-lovable new being of me.
I like that! Keep focusing on YOU, because this personal evolution is all about you and only YOU! If you ever need anything, you can surely PM me.. Stay Strong!
yay, cheers to being fellow Melanie's!!
Melanie and x0kaybaby it's like you all are reading my minds! THANK YOU soo much for the positivity that I'm doing and sending out here. I definitely want to get better and achieve success through out it all. I'm glad you both enjoyed/liked my lil quote saying. I will keep my mind focused and on plan which is to focus on me and nothing else and don't be discouraged, thank you.
Melanie:
Definitely agree it's a day by day progress and everyone evolving at a different rate as well as having patience. I'll keep the saying: Patience is virtue. Patience is key, but mostly through it all I have/am coming to a point where I let myself go and lead to others' expectations, but I'm picking it up and myself up and together. It's not happening all right away, but happening, step by step, I'm putting myself out there and being more comfortable within my own skin and taking more stands and I'm doing that slowly but surely. As I can remember being a child, being carefree with no worries at all and what others think and letting others control me nor taking at heart what they say, that's where I want to be and I believe I'm getting there as I'm doing that today. Feels ubber great, like having your life back and what you most sincerely want and hope for and if this happened right now, I can't imagine it of how it'll feel and be like later along the way. "NC is awesome for you emotionally" <--
I actually have read a few of your posts in other member's diaries and they were really great! Very positive and uplifting, setting people by appraising them and keep letting them know that they are doing great! We/some/all need that and I want to say thank you for doing so and to keep it up! Definitely don't pass that up when I see that and I appreciate and grateful for kind people out there in the world today.
x0kaybaby:
Thank you for welcoming to the forum and coming along to my end of the diary! Great to know you got my message and responded as well on here and everything!
Thank you so much on the fabulous start; I'll certainly refrain from any bad habits and contacting ex for sures, especially on keeping focused on my up and down days. I will seek for my friends and members on this site to stir me in the right direction before I come into contact with the ex, thank you again!
"Do something productive and that will surely pass!" definitely truee, great wisdom and words!
It is definitely about us and only us, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOu! We can't emphasize that a lot, it IS about us, our evolution and progress. Not caring about others first before ourselves unless they are sick, charity work, something extreme.
Thanks again to both of you and x0kaybaby for being okay with me PM you if I need anything, same here applies to you and MelanieStryder and any other person whom comes along my diary or elsewhere! Here's to NC rule and staying strong! FOR US ALL! We are not alone. Yay for that!
Still day 3 going on 4:
and I definitely think I'm progressing in the sense of getting myself back by becoming more true to myself. By this I mean, doing, the way I answer, respond to things are more in my way of wanting it to be and not to others' liking, wants, etc and it feels great and fruitful! Not having a care or worry feels good. I'm loving it. I'll definitely keep this going and running. One day at a time! One person at a time if it comes to that.
Keep the eye on the prize. SUCCESS. and HAPPINESS.
I also liked what other members have said in member's diaries such as sayings like:
-Act like its over, because it is.
-Master the breakup before it masters you.
-Every time you see him or think of him just think of him as the attempted murderer of your heart.
-Isn't love all about moving mountains?
This is from: PinkChincilla ::Cello post ::
1.Stop doing the same thing expecting different results. Do something DIFFERENT. Like shut-up!
2.Give yourself some peace. Any contact with him does not create peace or tranquility or better understanding; it only perpetuates distress and confusion. It never solves anything for you.
3. You are not the gift that keeps on giving. So Just Stop! You are pouring yourself into a black hole.
4. Contacting him will only remind you of how unimportant you are to him. Last thing you need right now is someone showing you how much you don't matter. Don't give it the space.
5.Have some self-respect. You are worth more than text messaging or emailing – that’s all he’s got for you, and it’s no use to you.
6.You wouldn’t put up with his crap arrangement from anyone else – what reasons do you think you have to put up with it from him?
7.He does not want what you have offered him. He has turned you down, time and time and time and time again. Why are you still offering him anything at all?
8.You cannot change him; you cannot get through to him. The only thing you can change is your own behavior. So change it.
9.He is not going to care about you. You need to care about you. Be your own best friend. Do what you know is good FOR YOU.
10.Confusion, hurt, dishonesty, and disappointment are not kindly, well-intentioned gentlemen callers. Close the door.
11.Give him a new and final experience of you. Your silence.
12.Remember: He will speak to you if that is what you want; but only under the terms of his own self-serving agenda, only if he sets the topics and you abide by his unreasonable boundaries – that’s his deal, you can have it or you can fuck off. Don’t go along with it any more. Choose fuck off. Choose you.
13.Remember: you are not in the same relationship. He is not in this with you. You are riding solo to Miseryville via Miseryville. Get off the horse.
14.He is neither emotionally nor physically available for you. He is somewhere else, on some other planet. So long as you remain emotionally and physically available for him you are burying and abandoning yourself in a loveless tomb – all by yourself. Why would you do that?
Because after all, "If you don't fight for your happiness, who will?"
Some of these quotes, sayings, people, choice of words were and that I've liked are from: green, onequestion, S. Williams, jaysun, MelanieStryder, x0kaybaby, and lastly, stronger. If I didn't mention or gave you credit, I apologize.
"I think its more of a mental game we are playing with ourselves to let go of the ex. We have to defeat whatever is in our head and win this.
Very tempted to respond but what good would it do? Theres nothing there for me and to start talking again now would only be a repeat performance. Isnt love grand? lol
I feel for you Judith. you will get there. you dont have to stop loving someone to have a fuck it attitude. Actually..after all the dust blows over..if you truly love them...thats what u will be left with.. love with i kind of understanding that you hope they will achieve.. She is my monster. Shes my monster in the closet...lol
Because of survival.. Its either get past the fear and pain or go nuts.. I've been up and i've been down and the only place i feel sane is in between.
Why try to even be friends with someone you went through this with unless your in a position to reconnect ? No need stirring up emotions. Now i've read alot of stories here where reconnection is highly likely and these people will have learned a valuable tool being here that will aid them in their reconnection. This is a plan that works in all situations to one degree or another. Use it to your advantage because we are all lucky to have found it." -Profound, courages, and the truth in most cases. Thank you jaysun for all of these! They're great and a great reminder that we should do this only for OURSELVES and truly want it despite all obstacles. I'm sure the pain, guilt, memories will fade and leave us with only new ones to make and have. Of course the love will and may never go away for our exes as a saying goes: You can never stop loving them, if you did, you may never perhaps did. So we don't have to give up our love for them, just give up trying to let them take over our own lives, wants, and wishes, which is the best for us all and the greatest gift we can give ourselves.
PEACE. Hope everyone is doing great!
I loved this!
Remember all is fair in love and war, and if you want to win this war and get my ex back, you better stop living in a box and start thinking outside of it…OK?
In times like these you have to learn how to think with your head and not with your heart.
More things I liked and loved: (Hope it helps to at least someone if they need it)
If you’re really committed to get an ex back, you will keep that flame burning with hope and commitment.
If you asked Abe Lincoln when he should’ve given up on being president, he would have told you never, and it paid off for him, right? Giving up is a personal choice, but before you do something like that make sure that you are truthful with yourself about why you’re giving up. Winning back your ex requires some hard work, and emotional control. Did you give it everything you could before giving up on getting my ex back? I agree with Abe, you should never give up on something you really want.
You can’t “force love” from anyone.
It’s not about making someone love you, it’s about choosing what you want to do, and then do it.
If you sit around thinking about all the reasons it won’t work, what good does that do you?
Abraham Lincoln was self taught he saw something he wanted and he went after it.
The idea is to go for it, and maybe along the way another door will open, if the one your after is closed.
Life is a journey not a destination, but if you are too afraid of the destination, you”ll talk yourself out of the journey…and where does that leave you?
I don’t think your kidding yourself, you just need to make a decision.
Do you want him back or not?
If so, get yourself the tools to do it…OK?
If you’re really serious about “getting my ex back” this is the last thing you want. Your old relationship is where the big fight, or mistake happened. Let’s bury that using no contact, learn from your mistakes, and come back healed, and ready for a fresh start with your ex.
Get My Ex Back – 3
In order to “hold your ground” you are going to need great emotional control. I suggest working on that instead of worrying about things. Worry is only a “prayer” for disaster, build your “hope” and self-confidence by using self-help exercises to combat your worries. If you find a good plan to get your ex wife back, it should include exercises to that will help you with this.
Winning Back Your Ex
If you follow a good plan, along with great “personal” support you will have an excellent chance to win your ex wife back again. I have to tell you that attempting this without some guidance, and good planning materials will make it a lot harder, and take you a lot longer to reach your goal. I highly suggest you seek out and find a good program that will help you with this. I really want you to be successful and get your ex wife back again. Most people can not do this all by themselves. That is why it is wise to find someone who will help you take on this battle.
Get Your Ex Back
If you want to win your ex back you need to take action. Reading is a good start but you will need to take up a notch later on, follow a plan of action.
Emotional control is key!****** I believe once you have that you're golden because you'll have no worries, you'll have no anxiety, panic attacks, low self-esteem, depression, traumatized, etc. This is what I am, carve, and yearning for. That's my goal and I'm sure it'll set me in a good, healthy, and lovely path. Loving myself, number one priority as I will be at my peak self. Self assured, confident, care-free, baggage-less, free. I'll have my life back, the way I want and it ought/should be.

Day 4 since it's after 12am.
I'm okay; no feeling of contact, just wondering if the reconnection will be made since ex, Peter will be mostly gone in March of this year and for 4 years as he joined to serve. My hope and aim is to be self assured and/or just ready for at least the first reconnection. Overall, I know, I know I should focus on only me and not getting my ex back. I will continue NC and aim and focus on my evolution and transformation and keep my feelings and vents on a journal.
Feeling better. I did my list of the pro's and cons and the Fast Forward Technique and I feel pretty good of myself and getting past hurt feelings. I thought I wouldn't feel any progress, but I did feel it and a small shift that I can let feelings go and start today. I'm amazed that it worked. So happy. Looking forward to the rest of the days and get myself more and more put together to re-gain myself and my life back. One day at a time, one day at a time! I'm glad and content as of now. I feel okay. Letting go may be hard, but essential and a great way to start healing and so I'm doing that and I feel quite good about it all. This is where I want to be and stand forth and beyond. Getting to my evolution to heal myself completely and once for all. This plans, rules, and techniques really does work! Just pay close attention, listen, do as told, embrace it, and long live the progression and healing!

You DO NOT need to post in your NC diary daily ex. day one, day two...etc.
Use your home journal for that, it just clutters our forum, and makes it hard for people to find answers to their particular questions.
hey some of the nuggets i found in ur NC are really inspirational...seems like u are getting on the track...
stay strong and stay beautiful
Hang in there. Reading other peoples posts helps, the books, journaling, exercise, I even found some movies that helped get my mind out of the crap. Taking the time to focus on myself was really important. Be good to yourself, pick something you have wanted to do, and did not not probably due to the ex being more important, it does not matter what is is, take a class, paint the kitchen, what ever. For me throwing all the exes stuff out felt great- all of it. You deserve this time to be good to yourself get your feet back under you. We seem to think time is against us, when in reality the more NC time we get the stronger we get. Stay the course.
Thank you very much to both of you, angelllll and onequestion!!! Really appreciate it very kind and generous of you all! Onequestion, you're truly ever right!! More time with us only and doing what we want, need to do is the path to our evolution, I sense. As of now, I'm feeling pretty psyched and thinking a lot. I tend to second guess myself at times, but all the more better to fix myself, gain more stability and wise choses! Practice makes perfect! I'm excited and good things to say! I no longer want to have anything to do with my ex!!! I was rarely wanted and needed and so bam, out of my life then!! hahaha, I, we don't need them and I'm ubber fine with it!! Even though I still think of him, but it's normal and I'm sure it'll go away in time as I'm already feeling it a bit of not wanting him, doing things for me, I have finally let go and accepted and decided to take care of me and my needs and wants!!! So here I go!!! I'm soooo excited that I have plans started since yesterday and today and for days to come!!! So stoked and the events going on in my hometown will surely keep me busy, having fun, and letting myself deal with only my priorities and more!! So excited!!
Tonight I'll be going out with my friends in town. A lil bummed, but not a lot since I was also invited to go out of town today and tomorrow like nearly 30minutes before speaking to the my other friend whom invited me to hand out today!!! But I'm a good friend and person that I consider myself and so I decided to stick to my friends in town since I said yes to them first! but of course welcome more out of town trips or etc with my friend I said to them!!
It'll be kinda cool since I may have more fun with my friends and go to different places.
I have so far went on the online dating. This is pretty cool in the sense that you get to meet new guys and you can practice on how to talk to someone and have more control in the relationship so I find that great though also making a sincere and good relationship as well of course! &&It can and boost u up in the confidence level too and the way we should and want to be treated! Win-win!!!
School started and I was already thinking of hmmm, wonder if there'll be any cute males in class, hahaha. There wasn't much, but it's okay. I'ma stick to doing me and having great and positive relationships and hanging out with my friends that are there truly for me and want to hang out and have some good old fun!!! I'm liking this and how there's so much stuff to do to keep me busy!! I'm grateful and ecstatic, happy, and content and more so appreciated because it'll definitely keep me off my feet, busy, take more leadership role and be more definite than ever before!!
Good day to all!!!
I was also invited to go out of town today and tomorrow like nearly 30minutes before speaking to the my other friend whom invited me to hand out today!!!
Oops, meant to say, *like nearly 30 minutes after speaking to my other friend
Another friend invited me to go out of town in February, about 2-3 weeks from now to attend this music fest while she visits her friend, so stoked and excited!!! I love seeing live bands perform and saw one actually yesterday night and told my friend if she wanted to go and we went and it was great!!! Loving it!!! :DDD
hi you sound like ur having a really good time.. nc is working for you
it has really helped me more than i expected,its a great feeling after a while.. feels like im in control of my future at last, and you sound very positive, im so pleased, keep it going
Thank you, stronger! We all have to do our part and be, try, and live the best we can for our own lives! I've been keeping pretty busy and preoccupied with school most of the time, my computer on fixing, and going out once in a while and it's been alright. Some arguments and such with some friends, which in time came to a conclusion that that isn't friends at all of what they're doing, so they're out of my life! Feels pretty good as I deserve much more than just an option or something extra in someone's lives. We gotta take priority on ourselves and take value from what we have to offer. I know my value is so much greater and so I took pride and justice into my own hands and dealt with the things. Soon enough things faster than before! I have quite a lot of pride in myself and so that helps me to get over things and stand up for what I believe in and what should be right with me to have, own, etc. Keeping the faith strong even on low times, taking it one day at a time. It may not be easy, but well done in the path of righteousness. In the end, the good people will be there in time or in the future, if not, all's good. What doesn't hurt us,makes us a lot stronger. Hope everyone has been doing great and well! ~~melanieangels
Btw, I already quite lost the days of counting. Feels pretty alright, or just like any other day. Living my life, one day at a time and so forth. Done with the extra things in life and focusing more on things that should matter and what not for me...
Good good good! It's best when you forget the days it has been and instead you focus on YOU and how great and awesome you are. Hang tight! Wicked days ahead!
looking forward to the greatest things in life and moments!!!
Thank you, PinkChincilla!! Appreciate it!!
Ok, so I made the reconnection for the very first time yesterday. It went well although I didn't quite expect a reply right away since Peter, ex is serving the country at the moment. So I made the reconnection via online. He's doing great, so am I. I barely asked for a reunion a few moments ago, so I'll be expecting something soon. I am looking forward for the reunion, yet not expecting anything in return. Thus, that won't draw me back to meeting new people. I am still talking to someone else and wouldn't mind speaking to others as I would like someone whom may want to be in a good, healthy, and loyal relationship as I would want it to be. In the meantime, I've been heading to class. Passing all my classes. Next week are finals and going to prepare for them this week. I'm still going out as much as possible. Fun times they were. Being with friends is the greatest thing ever as you are with people whom respect you and love you the most. Hence, they are there no matter what. I'm looking forward to what life brings and planning to exercising and getting the motivation for a job. I want a job sooo badly! Plus getting my driver license as soon as possible!
I have some good news and not so good news. I am over my ex and boy does it ever feel so good! I met a guy a while back and he is persistent on seeing me and hanging out and wanting more than just hang out. He contacts me every week, once a week. I asked a friend of his years ago if he's a player, hence they said yes. I kept seeing him because I like him more than a friend. Sometimes his texts are after 12 a.m. which is not cool nor good for me I am sure. He would like to be intimate. Last night though I saw him, I believe at a bar with a girl and his friends! Can you believe that? I was wanting to go up to the table and ask whom his company was so he'll know I spotted him, but I didn't. I don't know if he saw me as well. Perhaps he did, I believe. I would like nothing more from him if he's a real player or just using me. Seems he is, sadly. I am hurt, sad, and would like to know and ask him a few things that are in my mind. Should I? As in if he really wants a relationship? Is he seeing other girls other than me? I would like to know so to nail it in my head and quickly move on. I don't need another guy treating me poorly. I deserve way better than that. I am in shock he has done this as he really used to like me when I first met him, so I don't know what made him change his mind. He recently said, he really likes me a lot. Maybe that's not enough to keep me holding on to him. He's loss will be if he wants nothing more than a relationship and/or using me...
Should I continue to see this guy and talk to him if he talks, messages, texts, in any way contact me?

How can you date someone you can not trust?
I would dump his ass, before you get hurt.
Stay Strong and Positive!
