I don't think there is a one size fits all way to do the NC thing.  My x is stubborn and needed a nudge.  I didn't bring up relationship stuff.  We are still communicating....no one has asked anyone else for a meetup but I believe it will happen.....

It sounds to me like you needed to stick up for yourself.  Don't torture yourself over the past.

Don't congratulate me yet...we are texting but he's still being a mule.  We had a bit of a misunderstanding today and instead of flying off the wall I explained how I felt and what I meant,.  He finally apologized for making me feel threatened.  I told him during this conflict that I still loved him.  I just don't give a flipping bird anymore.  Hiding my feelings and no contact isn't me living my authentic self.  We aren't back together so I don't know if LOA is working..at this point it's hard to say....right now it all feels like a ton of work.

Okay so we have been texting back and forth, nothing outrageous or too flirty.  I opened a new business and he sent me flowers to the studio as a congratulations.  Sweet , it said good luck and he signed it XO.  I had imagined him doing something like this and it happened.  Today I found out though he is on a trip and I wonder if he's with another woman.  Im trying not to let my head go "there" and to continue being positive.  Ive gotten some other signs from the universe that could not have been just coincidence so I think my vibration is kind of high even though I haven't been meditating as much or doing the 25 challenge again.  Any thoughts you guys may have would be appreciated.
