Trying to detach from WTF world

[leahsue]

I'm with you there, Treasur and Ownit, on both counts.

For so long, you long for the sound of the phone or text. Then when things turn for the bad, you start to feel the stuff rise up in your throat when you hear it, saying to yourself while walking over to look. oh please, don't let it be more ugliness or abrupt, cold, negatives. Then it's not even from him. Just more silence and erasement from him.

I've changed his ring tone and text tone, so no more wondering from across the room. If it's him, I know it immediately. I've also changed his picture to one of Jack Nicholson with a cigarette in his mouth, and some nasty language printed on the picture, and changed his name in my phone to Lying Cheater. It helps me to detach. (Thanks for the idea, CL.)
