Sadly the most peaceful moments I've had over the past two weeks were while he was in detox and could only call me for a limited conversation. Otherwise it's irrational strings of text messages and unmeaningful conversations about the weather. Today he told me he didn't want to talk to me, but texting was fine. I told him that wasn't acceptable to me and that if he didn't have enough respect for me to have a conversation then I didn't want to receive texts from him and he could call me when he's ready.
Quite frankly I don't even miss him and I'm sick and tired of living out of bags. On the plus side I started reading Codependent no more and man that very first chapter abut Jessica's story I could have wrote myself.
You and me are in the same boat! It has been almost 2 weeks since I left my XABF. The peacefulness I feel now has been the most felt in the past year.
The best thing I did was change my phone number, because I was sick and tired of mundane conversations and drunk texting that made no rhyme or reason. Consider this option, especially if you don't have children.
I too, have been reading Melody's book, everyday I go over it and it brings me great comfort. If you can, try to find it on CD at your local library. I made a copy of it and listen to it in the car, it's great!
