I was browsing the forum and I saw someone mention that the no contact rule means NO CONTACT and then in parenthesis said "unless you were the one doing the breakup".
Brief summary of situation: we met when we were both married but separated. I filed for divorce, I got divorced. It's been 2.5 years since we met. We have had a rocky time needless to say. He did finally tell his wife he wanted a divorce back in May, but has made no other attempts to get divorced. He kept involving himself deeper and deeper into my life and I got ZERO from his. I have literally not even met one of his friends, relatives, no one. So, I got tired of it, it hurts, and before I knew it on Friday night I kicked him to the curb. We live 45 minutes away from each other, we have none of the same friends, there is no way for me to accidentally bump into him, he does not have any social media. it is complete cut off.
The last thing I texted him was that I needed to meet the people in his life and i needed him to get a divorce and until then this is what I had to do. He did not reply. I feel like that is an appropriate boundary and there is no other reason to contact him.
Last night I hand wrote my own "closure" letter to him, without an intention to deliver it. I'm pretty sure right now his perspective is that I intentionally used him last week (he was doing a LOT for me and my kids), and basically once he had finished what I needed him to do, I dropped him. After he told me how much he loved me and wanted to be with me, I dumped him. Granted, that's not how I set out for it to go, I didn't plan to do this, but anyway. I LOVE this man, we have something special, I just need more.
Just wanted some feedback to ensure that no contact is what is right for me.
