I'm going to have nothing to share about and it hurts
My ex and I are currently doing 30 days of no contact for all of January, and revisiting getting back together after that. He's got a crazy job, lots of friends who do fun things, and he sometimes travels for work too.
I've got a boring job, nobody to do anything with, school, and therapy.
I just feel like when February hits he'll have so many fun stories to share, and I won't have a damn thing. I know the things I'm doing are important in the long run, but it's just really rough knowing that I won't even be able to say I hung out with anyone, despite trying to make friends. Work is the closest thing I have to a social outing.
It's embarrassing. It's lonely. And today it just felt heavier than normal.
I can understand why going into a period of no contact feels painful, especially when you're used to sharing your life with someone. It’s a tough decision, but sometimes space is necessary for clarity. Just remember to take care of yourself during this time, regardless of how things turn
