Smacked Down Again! -- Tips on Letting Go Mango25: I sent my ex an e-mail yesterday and got his response last night. I was kind and gentle. I wanted a five-minute talk to leave things better than we did. He was cold and firm. He made threats. There will be no contact -- not now, not on my birthday (though just a few months ago I was begged into going out with him for his), not on Christmas. Instead of thinking that he's a jerk who lied to me and I'm better off without him, I keep thinking that I've lost the greatest thing I've ever had, and, even worse, will ever have. I need to be start being positive about my own life and future. I need to let go. But, when it hurts this bad, how?

You will get past this, so dont beat yourself up if you feel like you are not making progress. This is not something that you will get over on a schedule.
