HEY!
<Makes Kramer-esque/Sienfeld entrance>
Hi! Hello! HEY!
How are you?
I wandered away for a while, for no real reason that I can articulate, but life got busy, and work got busy, and I don't really know, but my head was not in the game for a while somehow. I think I've been dealing with some low-level depression, compounded by this crazy menopause journey I've been on for a few years now, and sprinkle on a little not enough hours in the day to just sit and BE...and, well...here I am.
But I don't want to talk about me (of course). I want to talk about you.
So, come over here, and sit next to me for a while, and tell me EVERYTHING.
Pretty please?

Re: HEY!
Hey Ms Kim, Here's a wave from an oldy moldy!I still check in and it's been mighty quiet out there...I'm two years out of a looonnggg A,like 13 years? A few weird contacts that went nowhere but really done. The only hard thing is that once in a while I find myself missing "it" sometimes, not the xAP at all, but the "it" - the buzz. That makes me go down in the social media rabbit hole and look for things. But 90/10 I am so happy I am annoying to be around and wish everyone who is struggling to just get out one hr/day at a time. I've been there and could not have done it without the boards! Post, find a buddy, make friends. A's are a serious addiction but we all can get out the other side. XO Daisy

Re: HEY!
All great here. I saw some post two years ago due to FB memory of my ex and I promptly deleted them. No emotion. Time and No contact is a must.

Re: HEY!
Daisy, I'm in precisely the same spot as you are. 2+ yrs out of a really long term A, better and happier but still prone to an occasional late night internet deep dive. All to no end of course. Why oh Why?Lucky for me AP has no social media presence at all and I know to stay away from professional sources.
And you're right about missing the thrill of it all. Does that ever dissipate I wonder?
But onward and upward, life is better on this side for sure.Thank goodness for the support here, didn't post much but oh did I lurk!
--- Just keep swimming.

Re: HEY!
Hi all - I am new to the EAS-ASS and see that it is basically inactive. Is there anywhere else I can get support.
The old posts have been really helpful -- I truly wish it was still active.

Hello and welcome - yes, things have been quiet around here, but I know that some of us are still checking in, and are ready to sit and chat with you for a while.
How are you - how can we help?

Re: HEY!
Hi - Well I'm in the soup. After reading many posts I'm afraid I might get lambasted here (not really)-- but I am doing an in person ending this Thurs. Things aren't desperately bad --- yet. Thankfully, I did research and also found this board. I just see the writing on the wall with my AP and it is starting to get unnecessarily hurtful. No half measure. Just end it.
The Pavlov dog conditioned response thing to texts, etc. really resonates and so I've turned sounds off. I'm doing the fade out, I guess. I contact him less and less and I think he is accepting that I won't see him since he is seeing another woman now. It hurts but deep down I believe I was concubine number 1. What I don't get is his hissy fits of reduced contact. Hey man -- YOU started seeing someone. But I understand he is hedging his bets. I'm married after all and he is widowed. It just really SNAFU feeling right now. He lives so far away -- sex is a memory - that memory is not keeping me going anymore.

Re: HEY!
No lambasting here.
Encouragement, voices of experience, advice, support and if/when necessary, a gentle kick in the ass now and then.
But it never comes from a mean-spirited place - only from our own experience with BTDT and wanting to help you get off of this ride, so I really do hope you will stick around and use the support as just another tool in your arsenal.
