(Mostly) over ex(es)

Another rare post from me in the recovery section, whoopee.
Sarcasm aside, recently I seem to have stopped thinking so much about my recent ex, better yet at all. January 9th was a staple of the night we broke up, and that was the night I chose to "celebrate" by drinking (as per usual, not like I have any other great way to cope). I preferably wanted to go to the point of blackout, but thankfully I didn't need to. As I may have mentioned before, I don't cry much, so it was to my relief I burst into tears at one point. It was short, but it was all that was there. Since that night, even the morning after, I haven't once had the thought of "I miss her, I want to be with her again". I can't stress how much weight that's taken off my mind. She was all that was on it lately and it was becoming unbearable. Not to say she herself is a bad person, not at all. But just not having to think of her 24/7 because of my own guilt and loneliness is a real relief.

It sounds like you are doing better moving forward than you expected. Many people jump into a relationship with initial passion only to find that a little later cold logic begins to intrude and things can unravel. Many find that summoning the discipline to resist a passionate plunge into a relationship right away and allow a period of cold logic first can avoid some of the pain of relationships that may never have had much of a chance.

I'm glad your getting over your ex.
Ex's can really be a pain in the ass sometimes but in the end, they're just human beings and have flaws like us.
