hey aunts i finally did it...i broke it off with the committed guy...it's been two days and i almost fell in today but by the grace of God ive stayed strong and haven't contacted him...

this is how i did it: i called him with the thought of us meeting up and when i got to him in a public setting, i had all his belongings and asked him for my house key...at first he hesitated to give me my key when he seen that i had his stuff...but he ultimately gave it to me...

for ones that don't know the story, ive been seeing an committed guy for 10 months his gf found out on valentines day and they broke up for maybe 2 days and got back together at the same time he still continued with me. i decided not to tell her he still hasn't left me alone and im going to break it off and have respect for their relationship (even though he obviously doesn't)...

surprisingly he hasn't contacted me yet and im glad because that just makes it harder for me...when/if he does im going to tell him im busy and will have to contact him another time...

do you all have any other ways i can continue in my attempt to leave him alone?...im being strong...but i don't want to crumble...help me guys...please....

crimson_kiss agony auntGOOD for you. You did the right thing in breaking it off and showing respect for their relationship (yep, even if he doesn't). It sounds like you have more respect for yourself as well to not be pulled back into the situation and used.

Best thing you can do is keep yourself busy, the more things that are on your plate, the less you will get the urge to contact him. I know its hard when you are alone and want to talk to him, so maybe even ask a friend to stay with you for a couple days and do some girly things together, paint nails, listen to music, order pizza...HAVE A PAJAMA MAN BASHING, STITCH AND BITCH PARTY!!!

Erase his number from your phone so you don't dial it or better yet put a block on his number, and you email account and even have text message disabled for awhile.

Just don't do it, don't call him, keep busy and get out there and meet some other men....go out on some dates why don't ya, with single guys! Or call your girlfriends and have some fun. Work out, get a manicure pedicure you know all those girly things that make you feel better.

Good for you, for seeing the light.
