Told C what has happened since last week, the pathetic email, not showing up to move but coming to play with the cats, my response, and this morning's email. Explained that I was sad last night but didn't think it was about xBF, more nostalgia. Wondered if my goal was to try everything to save the R before walking away does that mean I need to keep trying now that xBF might be coming around...
Nope. In fact C thinks I have already done everything I need to in regards to R. He agrees the emails are pathetic attempts to manipulate my emotions and recommends that I tell xBF to stop talking about R because it is over.
He said that I will experience a range of emotions and it's important to recognize them for what they are and not confuse them with wanting/needing to go back to xBF.
I asked if it's bad that I don't want to see xBF. I don't want to avoid him but just don't see why I should see him. The answer was a resounding no, I shouldn't see him and give him the opportunity to try to manipulate me.
So I feel better. Back to being strong!
