1. No texts or calls, block WH on all iPhones and iPads. Office phones. Continued with new numbers.
Had to keep my business numbers but blocked him
2. No email, block WH on all email addresses
Didn't stop letters and new emails. In end had to have him deal with my L. Expensive but effective, he even got cross with L.

Yes, got an android. The Giggalo deleted lots of stuff from family iPad. Didn't realise I could still read his stuff.
4. Block WH on all boards, FB etc
Yes. Watch out for FB settings changes.
5. Do not visit pubs, cafes or restaurants that WH frequents or may frequent
When I know he is in the UK this applies, but this did reduce my triggering

I use my L.
7. Forward mail promptly
Yes, very little now. I still follow this.

Fins still an issue

Every time.
11. Any bills owed by me to WH are paid by cheque not bank transfer
Every time
12. Other than Gamanon, L, IC and DB, no talking about WH, if any one asks "I hope he finds happiness" and "I don't see or hear from him" and "I get on with my life"
Yes, bland. No one really asks any more.
13. Get my treatment for Trauma and resolve my issues
How long have you got? This is for life now, tackle new brown stuff as it sticks to my shoe.
14. Sell the big house and move to a different address that he has no knowledge of
Not practical until Fins on D finished
15. No contact with WH family other than admin
now dwindled to nothing at all. Extended to mutual friends and his golf mates.
16. No FB posts, no news of my GAL etc
occasional positive stuff posted but all factual.
17. Make my business successful
Not too successful as yet.
18. Grow as a person set myself challenges so my mind is occupied with much more inspiring things
Constantly on going
19. No is my new Mantra when pressurised
That should have read as far as the Giggalo is concerned

Yes gone.
22. Decorate and move when possible, change the environment
Essential
23. Get fit and well, extraordinary self caress the effects of the stress and trauma are shifted from my nervous system
Sleep is a big big issue or lack of it. Weight is going gradually, I sense I am determined on it
24. Connect with my friends and family, make it clear WH isn't open for discussion "sad but resigned"
Apart from besties.
25. Finish processing the business paperwork so as soon as possible I never see his handwriting or deal with his purchases, clear message boards and his name from template letters. move office
Occasionally I research and find something. Once the Fins are done then it's no issue.
26. No please, thank you or friendliness, just blan bland breeze block
Apart from court I need never see him again
27. No discussion of assets bought or sold, no flash cars (white van woman rules), no jewellery, expensive cars or posh clothes, bland and blah
Still do this.

only from the Giggalo, in time I can emerge from my cocoon
29. Go GAL on my terms in my time, keeps that private
Yes
30. No dating web sites, keep any friendships very quiet
