Wise wordsIt would be so incredibly easy for me to slip back into the comforting hot bath that is porn right now. But I'm choosing to take a cold shower.
Thank you @Restless Mystic. I’ve been struggling with worry and distrust because of this whole thing for years. I don’t know if I’m relieved, humiliated or angry right now. But this is where I can begin to move on with my life.That went quickly @downhillfromhere. 15 days. Amazing...
You're going strong. You'll climb the wall again. Sorry for your ex. It happens.
On a lighter note, Enjoy the pain. Coz bitter truth is always better than sweeter lie.
Oh man that sounds rough. Sorry to hear about the recent issues with your ex, I know only too well the waking hell that is a protracted on-again/off-again break up.Day 15
Things are still going pretty okay. I feel very numb and flat, but urges aren't really there right now. I just want to get through this, I don't want to go through this over and over again because I can't take control.
Edit - I removed a long rant about my ex. Basically after a long on-again/off-again break up between us, she admitted to developing feelings for a guy she was emotionally cheating with while we were together. It hurts. But at least I'm feeling something.

This is exactly it. I’ve been writing down some of my thoughts this weekend, and got to the conclusion that she’s been using me as a safety net for years. It’s so unhealthy for me to be caught up in something like that, because I get continually get the feeling that I’m not good enough.The best days are ahead and it's better to be free than tied down with someone who's heart isn't in it.
Thanks @particularly_respecting!Sorry to hear about your ex downhill
But great job standing firm and maintaining your resolve
It's easy to give in and become the worst version of ourselves when times are difficult
But you are still working on yourself and making progress - that's the best possible way to handle this
Stay strong brother. I always appreciate your support, so I'm sending some back at you!
