Am I Doing This Right?

| feels kinda good to shut her out. To force myself to ignore her and not acknowledge her existence.

If that's what feels good Dan, do it!! I don't wanna hear you being treated like a door-mat, man!!

But look man, your situation (from my past reading in this sub) your situation is the worst on here (in my eyes), it's not a competition, we're all going thru shit - but hands down, yours takes the cake! (So congratulations!!!\o/ whooOP. jks bruv, ok. - you have a 2yo with her. Most of what I read on here... highschool / uni age students are just going through the "usual" break-up. Now, I've had over 15 of those fucking breakups. Serious relationships, and even living with 9 of them, BUT. One thing I don't have is a child in my custody or any joint parenting arrangement (apparently I do have a child but that's another story). Your situation is pretty fucking serious, Dan... I really really feel for you. To be brutal, I don't know if giving her the cold shoulder is the best thing. The one that'll get hurt the most in all this will be your 2yo daughter. For the benefit of the child, it'd be great if you were to get along with your separated partner, sure, but if you're really cut - you may still need time to heal - that's near impossible, I understand because you need to see your little one. I know this should be about no contact, but had you considered asking her if she'd be willing to pursue relationship / marriage counselling?
