Long story short, my ex who I had bad oneitis over last year has been contacting me for the past two weeks, after a year of not speaking with me. She's now got a boyfriend, I've been out gaming other women and quite successfully too.
I've come so far in a year, a much better job, got myself in great shape etc
I've slowly felt feelings coming back for her this week, but every day I've tried to go NC, she's always initiated in some way, be it a snapchat or texting. For example, I put a picture of a chanel shopping bag up on my snapchat story after getting some aftershave for myself, she then text me saying "You shouldn't have x"
I can't and won't get oneitis over her again, she has a boyfriend and it's not fair on myself to be speaking this often
My question and advice needed is, how do I politely inform her to 'cool off' without obviously being blatantly ignorant and ignoring her?
Any help would be appreciated, thanks guys.
Disengagement is the only solution.
My ex pulled the same thing recently. There are still feelings there on either side and she IS single. Still, it is a challenge of not wanting to fall into old patterns, who does.
The girl has a bf and you're hurting. You can hurt more over a prolonged period of time or make a decision to move on now and experience short term hurt which you'll bounce back from sooner rather than later. Also you're freeing up energy for someone new, right now your emotions are locking you into a holding pattern; a bit of a self imposed prison.
