Cutting All Ties

 A Necessary Step After a Breakup

I've decided to break all ties with my ex after some careful thought and recent conversations. This decision is about self-care and moving forward, not about being mean or petty.

No More Direct Communication

I have decided to stop contacting my ex directly. If I need to retrieve something from his house or communicate anything important, I will go through his mom. I plan to do this when he's at work or in Phoenix to avoid any chance of seeing him. This way, I can maintain a sense of distance and avoid unnecessary emotional turmoil.

Stepping Back from Social Media

Dealing with social media after a breakup in the digital age can be tough. Seeing my ex's posts on Facebook used to stir up a whirlwind of emotions. To protect my peace, I've made the decision not to like any of his posts anymore. Although I can't bring myself to block him just yet, I'm seriously considering taking a break from seeing his posts. Facebook offers an option to take a 30-day break from someone's updates, and I might just do that.

Letting Go Completely

The decision to end communication is not about holding onto negative emotions. It's about recognizing that he has moved on and that I need to fully let go. Maintaining any form of contact only slows down my healing process. By cutting off communication, I can concentrate on my own well-being, personal development, and future without being constantly reminded of the past.

Self-Care and Moving Forward

Cutting off contact with an ex can be an important part of taking care of yourself. It's crucial to recognize when someone is no longer a positive presence in your life and to take steps to protect your emotional well-being. Moving on from a breakup is a personal journey, and sometimes that journey requires tough decisions, such as cutting all ties.

In conclusion, cutting off contact with an ex can be a crucial step in the healing process. It allows you to focus on yourself and prevents past relationships from interfering with your future. While it’s not an easy step to take, it’s often a necessary one. Here’s to moving forward and embracing new beginnings.
