He texted me after almost 3 weeks of NC
Knew him for 6 years. He was my closest friend, and on and off situationship. He broke my trust and I was experiencing cognitive dissonance. Always breaking my NC just to be hurt over and over again. I just wanted my friend back…the sweet guy I once thought he was. But I was sacrificing my morals for a dopamine rush.
I’ve decided that this would be the final and indefinite NC after discovering that he was still lying to me. It hasn’t been easy but it’s nearing a month soon and I’m proud.
A few hours ago he texted me “hi”.
If you ever get a text like this, just know that the other person is baiting you. It’s a low-effort attempt to see if they still have access to you. Maybe it’s a bit validating, but in the end, it means nothing.
I’m deciding to choose myself. Yeah, I might cry at some point tomorrow, but at least I didn’t break my NC.
