First, I had to realize that I had a RIGHT to be happy with myself and with my life again; if I let the ex diminish my happiness in any way, then I was still allowing him to affect me negatively.
Second, I had to choose to trust other men; if I let the fears and trust issues caused by the ex get in the way of having any other relationships, then I was still allowing him to affect my life negatively.
Either way, I was not about to let the ex have any more say-so over MY life. That's when I realized that the ultimate victory was to be perfectly content in my life, with or without a man. Granted, I would still like to meet a quality man for a long-term relationship; I would still like to unleash all the love I have left to give, but until the situation is right, I will continue being as happy and as active as I normally am. so yeah, my life is very, very good. Point for me, zero for the ex.
Good post.................
