The Final Hoover....God willing

I'm so exhausted from this break up. This man has continued to hoover....over and over again. He's been blocked on everything, so he's used every means possible to annoy me by leaving things under my doormat (nothing nice), and emailing and texting my mother. To those of you who have read my posts...sorry if this is a repeat.

Anyway, he came by my house last night and banged on the door. I was so asleep (thank you Trazadone!) that I didn't hear it. So, he does another drop by today. I was so sick of this behavior, that I decided to have it out once and for all.

He had the audacity to apologize (never said he wanted to get back together with me), and wanted us to be best friends again. I finally had the ability to get a little closure by telling him how disappointed I was in how he discarded me. That you don't end a relationship like that when you've committed to marry someone. I'm sure he didn't care. When I told him that any friendship with him was impossible....that I was focused on moving on with my life...getting over this...and trying to be a better person. He left in tears.

I'm obviously a little overwhelmed by having to go through this. But, I'm pretty sure he got the message. I told him he would continue to be blocked from me going forward, and any trips to my house were not welcome. I was nice, but firm in my boundaries.

Please, please, please let this be the last time. I think he "got" it, but who knows. He's completely insane.

I'm so, so tired. I prayed that I would be strong enough to endure this conversation when it happened, I think I am. I did a pretty good job standing my ground considering.

Well done!

I had to do the same thing very recently. Haven't heard a peep since Monday so I am also hoping that was the last one. Even if he does it again, I know that I've had enough and it sounds like you have too.

Bravo Juliamarie!

You did well! I am so glad and happy for you. I understand you are overwelmed, who wouldn't be? This reaction is human. We don't need friends like them! Let's his be a start of your NC and freedom forever! Bug hugs, Winter

Funny

He was so confused by my NC stance. He was like, "I couldn't get in touch with you so I had no other way to find you but to come to your house". I was thinking, "yeah...that would be the first clue that I don't want to talk to you"!! I don't understand how he could ever think that friendship was a possibility. I don't get it. He went through a bunch of things that are going wrong in his life....his divorce that has been going on for 2+ years is still not final, he told his CFO to f-off, his father wants him to go back to the mental health facility, the house that we were remodeling is still not finished. I told him....yeah....I was your friend during this stuff when we were engaged, but I'm not obligated to be your friend anymore. Thanks to way you ended our relationship.

Seriously. What's with the friends deal?

I mean, really? Yeah sure, I would LOVE to be friends with you after you took all of my self esteem and crushed it into a bazillion pieces. I always got that request during a D&D... "I couldn't stand it if I lost my best friend over this" Huh?

Yeah

It's INSULTING at best. At worst, it's just keeping me as secondary supply. He didn't like that I had his number. It was so uncomfortable watching him squirm because I wasn't biting on his crap. We were going to be married in November...but "let's be friends". Asshole!!

Jerks.

Mine kept saying he didn't want to go backwards so why couldn't we be friends like we were? Going from being in a relationship to a casual friendship IS going backwards. He never understood that. And he thought I was stupid that I couldn't understand what he meant. Out with the rest of the trash he goes. Along with his bullshit double talk.

Exactly!

As well as you, ladies, I always took it as an unsult. Me too, I got "I am sure there is happy middle, maybe we can just stay as best friends to be there for each other?" Where have you been before, cheap little boy? Why haven't you been there for me when I did need it? There is nothing wrong to stay friends with ex-lover, ex-husband. Life is complicate and everything may happen. I can take appologizes and excuses, forgive and stay best friends when I am HEARTBROKEN, not when I am SOULRAPED. Big difference!

Good for you!

You did great! I admire your strength it is an inspiration to me. I think getting it out about how painful your discarding was will go a long way in bringing you some closure. Keep being strong. I think maybe he got the message this time. xx, Rose

Thanks Rose

I'm still reeling from the experience, but I think it was actually what I needed to kick me into the next realm of healing.
