problems with an ex

Post Reply New Topic

Like many have already posted. The best course of action is to simply pretend she doesn't exist. With enough practice you can literally continue about your business as usual even if she's screaming in your ear. It's not an easy thing to do by any means, but if you put your mind to something, you'd be surprised what you can accomplish.

Yes, all kidding aside, pretend she's imaginary. As in, don't let her alter your goals and interests. She is your 'ex,' meaning it's over.

I know the hurt won't readily go away - I'm sorry. But, in essence, she is not a factor any longer. I guess I would try to deal with the hurt in whatever way works for you. This is hard. I've been so hurt, in other ways, but this is separate from the incident (or ex, in your case). If that makes sense. I hope you feel better soon. 'They' (whoever that is!) say that 'it' gets better with time and distance. This is why you should pretend she's imaginary. If she chooses to engage you in the hallway, for instance, you could just nod, or say an innocuous, 'hi.' As in, neutral. And avoid her like the plague.

avoiding her like the plague sounds like a good idea
