MarieLouise, the only things I know about your situation are from what I've read on this thread. But you strike me as a very strong, intelligent woman, even if that's not how you may feel at the moment.

I hope you find peace soon and I've no doubt that - with time - you'll bounce back even stronger. Some man - whoever he is - will recognise what an amazing woman you are. Just take care of yourself and, as others have said, put yourself first. You deserve every happiness.

I know it seems harsh, but file it and move on.

There will be bigger and better round the corner.

true... it's hard to get to the bigger and better when so much small stuff is blocking the view... and it's only usually small in hindsight.

Here's my new haircut... thanks Phil for resizing the pic!

Great pic, you look gorgeous

Thanks y'all... I'm using this sick-leave to do plenty of stupid things like taking pics and letting my pic taken by another woman who lives at my mum's place. I'm also doing other things I won't elaborate on right now, just to do what I feel like doing, without fearing Francisco's reactions. I actually had a fun day today.

This pic was taken to check whether I still have a backbone.

I feel better because I didn't hear his voice today and I am in some kind of 'I'm going to leave him to get stronger every day'-mood. So far so good, until he calls and starts putting all kind of shit on me...

Very strange feeling, to check my phone constantly, missing him like crazy, and feeling so 'me' at the same time, without him.

Small steps, everyday.....

just keep going... you seem to be doing it right.

MarieLouise said:

Yeah, that's why the no-contact thing ends up being important if you decide you're done with it. It's easy to fall right back into the bad feelings.

Gorgeous pic.

Marie, you don't need him and the crap he brings into your life. you are a strong, beautiful woman.
