I posted on here last week because I crumbled, got drunk, and reached out to my ex. We have not spoken since, and in the most bizarre way....I feel like I’ve gotten closure!

I woke up the next morning worried that I’d be sooo depressed, but very much UNLIKE me who tends to panic and self-loathe...I didn’t. I felt a sense of calm. Do I wish I never reach out? Of course. But the fact that he didn’t even check to see if I was alright really helped me understand that he is NOT the type of person I’d want to be with.

I also accepted a job offer this week. The interview and offer happened after this tail spin and it just left me feeling confident and hungry for my future WITHOUT him.

I think one important thing to remember after being dumped is that if they wanted to reach out, they would. If they wanted you back, they probably would not have broken up with you in the first place. Ultimately, you don’t want someone in your life who views you as an option rather than the one they really want. I pulled my self-respect together, and I know all the hurting people out there can too.

What do you guys think!?
