I was the one that had A and I KNOW 100% FOR SURE that the only way to get over the OM is NC and it is not NC for a week, it is NC forever and it takes a long long time to get over. I would say for me it was a year before my fog lifted and I realised it was my M i wanted. i truely believed that the OM had something soooooooo special. Crap we did.
I did not let go in contact during that year but it got less and less but it hurt and it was hard but it was the right thing to do except now i am all alone! Go figure.
