Personally I think no contact is a must. I say that because all the other things I did try did not work I always got sucked back in for another round. Addicts whether they love you or not are very convincing and know how to get your sympathy. They know you from the relationship and from how you have told him how you feel. I found my xagf repeating to me what I had told her about how I was feeling earlier on, whether she did...i doubt it but who knows. It hurt knowing she might be in that much pain because I could relate. After thinking about it who really knows what the he!! addicts truely feel and its not important. What is important is how well you feel and how well you recover from this BS. If being in contact is what your considering I would say look at yourself right now, that was Friday and Saturday and your strength is already down again. Your doing fine, I vote no contact.
