    Dear Ddawg:

    You are welcome. If you want to post again and share about your marathon healing, please do. And if you want input from the readers, let it be known.

    Thanks Anita. If anyone would like to share how they are coping with healing I’d be open to suggestions. ♥️

    Dear Ddawg:

    My first suggestion is that you send her a one time message telling her, (edit the following) that “it keeps setting me back seeing her name pop up on my phone. So I made the decision to not respond.. I need to heal and honestly, so does she”, letting her know that you will no longer contact her and that you need her to no longer contact you.

    I am suggesting this as an alternative to ghosting her.

    I think it would be good for you to let her know that you will not be in touch anymore. It was really good for me to read this. I recently ended a 2 year relationship. And now initiated 3 months of “no contact”. I know that end of three months I want to talk with him- to see how he is doing- and kind of to see if he’s had a shift in his attitude. It would be easy to try to stay in touch with him to see if things “change” between us. But I also know it can be really confusing when one person wants a relationship and the other doesn’t. So it’s good to read a story like this so I keep good boundaries. If we talk and I don’t feel like there has been any shift between us I guess I’ll just have to be firm with us both that we can’t be more than friends- and if this is too hard reinstate some kind of no contact. These definitely aren’t the romantic moments we dream about as kids. But treating each other with respect and love is definitely something I envisioned as part of adulthood. So at least I can try to do that. Even if it’s painful.
