Another successful 37rule only I didn't know it. A few hours after he left he texted me to remind me of something. I replied and said I remembered and said oh you forgot to take that shirt with you. He replied and said damn. Next time. So I broke my own rule of replying when there was no direct question however him replying after that was a big step in the positive direction because post bomb our conversations have been limited to say the least. Also I didn't see his reply for a few hours later which meant I ignored it and let him be the last to reply.
This all probably seems very trivial and meaningless but the truth is only a few days ago I was wondering if we would/could be friends. So I'm only looking at the positives and I'm releasing my jealousy, my anger, my resentment. I have to say getting out of the cloud of hurt and seeing him as a flawed person rather than simply the object of desire makes detaching and forgiving easier.
