22 days into NC after a 2+ year relationship and the triggers are hitting different
I've been following this sub for a couple weeks now but this is my first post. My ex and I were together for almost 2 and a half years. Things ended because he said he needed space to figure out his career stuff but it felt like he was pulling away emotionally. We tried the whole 'let's stay in touch' thing for about 10 days after the breakup but it was torture seeing his name pop up. So 22 days ago I told him I needed full no contact to heal properly. At first it was okay, I was busy with work and started going to therapy which has been helpful. But yesterday I accidentally saw his profile while scrolling and noticed he updated his bio or something small like that. It sent me spiraling. I've deleted our photos but memories keep coming back like our trip to the beach last summer or how he always made coffee in the mornings. I'm trying to stay strong by filling my schedule with runs and calls to my sister but the evenings are the worst. Has anyone else gone through a similar rough patch around the 3 week mark? What helped you not break and reach out? Really appreciate any advice because I don't want to reset the clock again.
