Well, thought I would give you guys an honest follow up to my "Dead Man Walking" post. Here it goes.
Since November 8 I have definitely felt good about my decision to let the boy go but being the kind of person that lacks, shall we say, self control I was pretty nervous about whether or not I could make this decision stick. I mean, this was a ten year relationship!! I normally don't make it past the 3 week mark.
OK... so... I did fall off the wagon, but only a wee bit. I got right back on that wagon, I promise. I sent him a stupid text message. It didn't say anything, just one of those, "let's see if he responds" kinds of text messages. I know, I know... you don't need to say it, but if I didn't tell you then, that wouldn't be honest. Anyhow, he did not respond and that was that. My feelings were not hurt. I actually appreciate him not responding. The last thing I need is for him to feed in to my emotions when I am at a weak point.
I would like to say that I did successfully avoid social activities that I was invited but were taking place in his area of town. I knew if I attended, I would have had a couple of pops, become tipsy and then would have been tempted to call him. So, dodged a major bullet there.
Now, this weekend... I have a social engagement in his neighborhood again, one that I cannot opt out of, however, a very good friend of mine came up to me yesterday and stated that, the minute we embark upon this section of town she would confiscate my phone.
So, again... thanking my lucky stars for good friends. You guys all rock!
Wish me luck and wish me good funny stories to come.
