My boyfriend ended things 3 days ago after dating 3 months. He said at the beginning he didn’t want to rush into anything as his ex really messed his head up, she was controlling and obsessive and made him feel bad all the time, she even hacked his bank accounts and social media. He saw a doctor last year for depression because of it. Thing is we used to date 10 years ago so it moved pretty quickly and we started spending so much time together, he also spoke about a future with me and kept telling me how much he likes me, how he misses me when we weren’t together. We were a perfect match, never argued, really laughed together and couldn’t keep our hands off eachother. He had a few wobbles as he was scared about rushing into another relationship and said his head was still messed up. The day he ended it he cried and said he couldn’t sleep, he feels bad for me and bad for his ex (he feels like he’s doing something wrong) his head is messed up and he needs to be on his own for a while. I stayed calm, showed him I cared but let him go.
He text that night saying sorry and explaining again he needs to sort his head out, I replied saying I think it’s a waste but I understand. The next day he messaged saying ‘hope you’re ok’. The next day he messages again saying he doesn’t understand why I don’t want him as a friend. I told him I can’t, I feel too much, have your time and then contact me when you’ve sorted your head out. He said ok… but then today he messaged again saying hope you’re ok!!
What is going on?? I want him back more than anything. I’m trying to do the nc but he’s not a bad guy, I don’t know what to do?

Hi Tracy, so doing the No Contact rule is nothing to do with if he is a good guy or a bad guy. It is about creating some space and time between you both to reset your situation. Giving you time to work on your holy trinity and then giving him the space that he feels he needs right now. Then start the texting phase sending the texts that Chris suggests in his articles.

What does it mean when your ex tests you (during NC) 1. thank you for a postcard that was sent months ago when we were still together, 2. congratulations (for completing something that he knew took uptime) and hope you enjoy your day? I didn’t answer, so, he texted let me know when you have time for me to give you your stuff. What does this mean?
It was a Harsh but, I think, mutual break up. Under stressful environmental conditions and after being four months apart due to my work.

Hi Nikki, your ex wanted to see if you would answer him I assume, trying to be “friends”. As for when to get your stuff back I would do this before your NC ends, of course if you are in an area where there is social distancing arrange this safely and follow guidelines

We have a son 30. My ex would never commit he always stated his family don’t like me. He had no contact with me or our son 26 years then got in touch. His parents are long deceased I thought he’d changed/grown up. He had vague contact with our son but was very interested in me (currently single). A short physical encounter lots of wonderful words and he disappears again. Now he’s back to trying to make contact leaving messages. We are 66 years old he refuses to bugger off and can’t maintain a normal relationship.

Hi Mary, I would just ignore all contact from him he can contact your son if he wants a father son relationship with him without you needing to be involved if you are not interested in talking with him

i broke up with this guy a few weeks ago, about once a week he will text me telling me hes thinking abou tme or ask how i am. He would send one or 2 messages tops and not reply. This is week 3,last time i told him to lose my number but he just sent the same type of deal. Am i supposed to just ignore his message? Even the 2nd time i had a strong feeling that i am supposed to ignore it. How do you know when a appropriate time to answer is Do you just wait and only answer if they chase a lot after a few weeks?

Hi Kris, I am sorry do you want this ex back? If you do not want this ex back then remain in NC and ignore their attempts for conversation unless you are attempting to be just friends

Hi QA so as he has reached out to you and wanted to have a friendly conversation I would suggest that you use this to build rapport with him if you want to try and get him back, but you need to take your time do not rush the process. Read about the value chain in this process so that you do not get carried away

Hi Ty, I am not sure what you mean between him sleeping. I am going to assume… As he has broken up with you, you need to go into a No Contact and give you and your ex some space and a chance for him to feel what it is like without you in his life

My ex broke up with me nearly 5 months ago. After a month of no contact, he texted me about giving me back a mug and catching up. I was busy with uni work so we met 3 weeks later and we slept together because in that moment I decided I didn’t want to wait for him to come around.
Around Christmas/new year we started texting again. At first the conversation would get serious, him telling me he didn’t think it would work and he was gonna try to explain everything to me. After one conversation about how we never communicated well enough, he said we now know if anything happens in the future.
Over the last two months, we decided to just chat and see how things go. He has messaged me regularly (usually responding to my social media stories), at times he has got upset about the idea of me seeing someone new or not responding to his texts. He had ended conversation asking me to message him soon. Recently, he ended up telling me that he doesn’t always feel like he’s going to be good enough and questions his worth at times.
I have only asked once in this time if he wanted to meet up and he agreed and I have him two dates I was free. But then neither of us bought it up again. Should I ask again? My only issue is I’m very impatient and don’t wanna waste my time just for him to tell me he just wants to be friends again.

Hi Soph if you want to get him back then you need to work up the value chain and not ask to meet again until you have gone through the stages that we speak of, those are the texting phase, the phone calls, and then meet up after some weeks of talking. when you get him investing time in talking to you he is going to be more open to the idea of meeting up for coffee etc.

Hi Charley your ex sounds as if he is going through some emotional states where he is missing you and going back and forth on the idea of being with you. Usually when they are emotional they dont think things through so the fact he is messaging you shows he is thinking of you but then when he speaks to you he takes away the things he has said by telling you not to wait for him etc. So, I would suggest that you start ignoring your ex and following the no contact rule where if he does send an emotional message and just ignore him

My ex and I have been on and off for a couple of months now.. i told him recently i think we both need to see other people so that he can realize what he’s missing without me. He has told me that he’s seeing other people, but got mad when I told him I went on a date. I have not seen him in two months but he does text me quite often. Sometimes I break down and tell him I miss him, but he also tells me that he misses me. I told him yesterday that I don’t want to speak with him again and we need space. He texted me asking how my family was doing because my dad is very sick. Do I respond??
EBR Team Member: Shaunna
January 28, 2020 at 9:57 pm
Hey Cara, no do not respond to this if you want to make changes, even if he is being nice, he is just testing to see if you are willing to speak to him after telling him that you dont want to speak to him anymore

Hi
My BF broke up with me a week ago, he messaged me asking if I was coping when I said I was but missed him he replied saying he missed me too and was finding it very tough but thought it will get better and that he did the right thing .
What does this mean?
Will he come back to me?
EBR Team Member: Shaunna
January 22, 2020 at 9:09 pm
Hey Kate so ideally ignoring him would have been best response from him as he was testing to see how you were doing to justify his own feelings. If he reaches out again ignore him for at least 30 days and during this time you need to use social media to show you’re happy and getting on with your life

The guy I was seeing ended things very poorly by allowing the new girl he was seeing behind my back message me from his account that they were together. I even called and he let her answer his phone to tell me to stop contacting him.It came completely out of nowhere and I was heart broken. I didnt understand how we could go from something to nothing in literally seconds. I took the news like a strong woman should and walked away. I didnt seek answers. I knew if he could do that he wasn’t the guy for me. I ceased all communication but didnt block him. I didnt see the need. Well I got a couple messages from him about a week or so ago but didnt see them till today. The first was a link to something we shared similar interest in. The second came a couple days later in the form of “Yo”. I didnt want to respond but my curiosity got the better of me and I messaged back. I mirrored his message and have yet to get a response. He has read the message but it has been hours and still no response. How should I take this? Why even bother trying to contact me if he is just going to ignore me. I don’t get it.

Hey Alli, I would say that you have had a “lucky escape” from a guy who is clearly a cheat and wants to play games. Him sending that message, I would assume he was alone at the time or, not around that girl at the time. And then ignored because he was not able to speak to you after that. Ignore him and just focus on moving on from him!

My fiance and I have been together for over 8 years just recently in October he went in for surgery and aspirated almost Dying and which I was there The whole time and never Left His side. He recovered slowly from that and then went through the actual surgery because the 1st Time he aspirated prior to them cutting him. Then in November once he had 2 weeks to heal he went to Georgia to see family for Thanksgiving. He is on short term disability so he stayed until the beginning of December 2019 but when he was supposed to come back he never answered His phone and went to visit friends in Philadelphia. He said on his way back from Philadelphia he realized he loves me and cares for me but is not in love with me and cried the whole way Back To the state we live in not knowing how to tell me. 2 weeks go by with me begging and pleading and he agreed to take a break went back to Georgia on Christmas Day then came back the beginning of January in which he said he has decided hes over and done he doesn’t feel it anymore but everything ended on good terms and he still cares and loves me that needs to be Alone and not in a relationship right now. He said nobody convinced him and there’s no other girls but his dad and mom have had a rough time This last year then his mom had cancer and he has been working in seems very depressed so not sure what to do I feel like we belong together and told him I wait for him in which she replied I should move on and be happy. It’s now been over a month since to break and over a week since our official break up but we live together in a duplex something at my parents but he occasionly text me how am I and have a good night and be safe. Not sure if hes being nice or if hes having 2nd thoughts? because I feel the surgery Messed with him And it’s more of the depression now and not The normal Man I know. Like I said I still have faith hope for us I just feel he needs to take some time away and handle all the stuff is going Thorough but not sure. Sorry such a long comment just not sure what to take From When he texts me. I keep it Nice simple short replies back. i am just so lost and confused not sure what to do please help!

Hey Ms I think if he is in a deep depression he does need to focus on himself, but it does not mean that you wait on the sidelines for contact. Make sure you a living your life with your friends and family and enjoying life not putting yourself on hold for him while he works on himself.

My ex cheated on me for 6 months. He even went through moving to a new town with me knowing he was cheating. About a month after we moved I caught him with her. He pro,owed to stop and we wer going to work it out, but a month after that he got mad and left because I confronted hi, about how he was still acting shady. Again he reached out next wanted to try to work things out, but kept being shady, so I told him I was done. He gain convinced me to try and I wanted to because we were engaged and had been together for almost 3 years and went through a lot together. We had always been so good together before this, so I caved and gave him another chance. We even had a really great weekend together like old times, but then he went MIA on me for 1.5 days. By then I was done. I love him and it kills me but I knew he was still seeing this girl. I told him I was though and he got mad. I stopped talking to him and found out that a week after he was in a holiday trip with her and her family. I was devastated, but realized I needed to move on no matter how much I love him. So I went and got the apartment key from him and told him he needed to figure out how he will pay his part of the rent, after all he signed the lease with me knowing it would take both of us to pay for it. Then Christmas (a few days after he got back from his trip with the other woman) he text me “you will forever be the one that got away”. What the heck does that mean.? I’m so confused and trying to let go, but he cheated and chose her. And it’s even hard because she knew about me because I had originally confronted them both when I first found out. Why do they get to be happy and I’m stuck being manipulated.

Hey Bee, I am so sorry he is treating you like this and it is awful to say, but he did this because he didnt think you would walk away from him so good for you for standing up for yourself and showing your worth! He wont be happy with her, hes already tried to get you back, and you refused. She is going to know what he did to her and she will carry that around with her for some time knowing he is a cheat. Regardless of what he tells her, she was the other woman at one point. Build yourself up and get over the horrible situation you have been put through and come out the other side shining bright that you are better off without someone who is going to do that to you. He will be back to try and convince you that he has changed and wont see the other woman again

Hi,
I broke up with my ex boyfriend about a week ago (but the feeling was mutual). This is our second break up since we started dating 2.5 years ago. The reason why we broke up was the fact that he started being really rude ad disrespectful towards me.
We had a very nasty breakup and I haven’t spoken to him since.
He keeps messaging me trying to pick a fight with me. He was even rude in these messages. I haven’t replied to any of it because of the no contact rule and I feel like we both need space to figure stuff out for ourselves.
Why is he doing this?
EBR Team Member: Shaunna
December 8, 2019 at 9:33 pm
Hi Melissa, he is doing it for a reaction from you, and maybe he thinks that it isnt “over” and youll get back together. Keeping to your No Contact is the right thing to do as he needs to learn that you are not going to tolerate being spoken to like trash and he has to adjust if he wants to hear from you again. I would suggest that you do not break No Contact and reach out to him if you want to by the end of 45 days. I dont see him being too happy about being ignored at first but then he will start to assess why you are not speaking to him at this time.

Have you completed a full No Contact? If not then you need to go 30 days without speaking to your ex at all. Do not reply to anything including phone calls and texts

I’m curious why my ex will text me, I’ll reply and then there are no more replies from him. So I assume it was just a moment of missing me and so I try to move on and work on myself. Then a few days later, I get another text again. Same thing. Ill reply and poof, hes gone! There was a text where he did express he was missing me and still loved me and he did respond to one of my responses, then dissapeared again. Most of the texts are about how he’s trying to get a job or how updates about his current ones. See, I broke up with him after 5 years for the 3rd time cause he has a drinking problem, always made excuses for why he wasn’t working or why he wasn’t trying to better himself. He basically lived off me for free for 5 years. No ambition, just laziness mixed in with drinking, weed and video games. I wanted to have kids with him, go and do things and have a life with him. He was struggling and even was going through a deep depression. He knows he was wrong and apologized to me. His whole family still loves me and says I’m still a part of the family. He messed up big time and he knows it. The other two times we broke up, I was the one trying to get him back, not him. So I’m very confused on these messages. I feel like he’s either just lonely and missing me or is wanting to eventually get back together so is giving me progress reports on how hes doing. Its just so weird. Its like someone giving me the weather report lol. But my biggest question is why text me then ignore me? I keep telling myself I’m not going to respond anymore. Then he sent that “I miss you and still love you” text. Now its back to work updates. I really am not sure what he wants from me. Oh, and they are not not drunk texts. Usually sent during the day or evening when he’s working or at his sisters.

Hey,
What does it mean if my ex texted me after our second break up during NC? The break up wasn’t nice I was ghosted for a few days and he said it was an unhealthy/hard relationship from before the first break up and was just distancing himself up to the second Break up which was 6 months but we had no problems just a few misunderstandings. I made major improvements during our reconnection i definitely followed the UG rules but still got dumped again.
There’s been some intense social media stalking and even looking at my friends pages… both texts were friendly and one offered to talk if needed but why bother now after saying horrible things? I have completed my NC rule but I feel as if I should wait for another message before talking again

I dated my bf for about 10 months, he was a nice person and did nice things however at times i felt like being unvalued and he treated me bad,calling me names and disrespecting or judging me out of anger. He was also very family oriented and then soon after he started giving me less time and everything and at that point our relation was at stake.He mentioned that he will have to reduce everything he does for me cuz his fam is getting affected. Both our fams didnt know about our relation.
Then one day, after he mentioned he will give me less of everything when in fact i felt like he needed to put more effort, I started begging for him to come back and fix it (stupid ik). Everytime we met, it was normal but we did fight A LOT during our relation. Cuz his culture and mentality were very different to mine. After he had said that we he will do less for me and I begged, I gave up on him cuz i was absolutely hurt. He had also out of anger called me names like ‘piece of shit’, ‘worthless’ and also hurt my feelings cuz he made fun and insulted me for not being able to do things upto standard for his family when I put effort with all my heart. (our fams were family friends but didnt know about us). After all this, I got extremely hurt and minimized contacting him. Then one day he came to meet me and we were both crying cuz we had argued. He started blaming me for not wiping off his tears and insulted me in the worst ways possible. I was crying too and so hurt, he kept saying things like ‘why did i ever love you’, ‘you dont deserve love or even my hatred’ and so much more. I walked away but still he kept following me and kept clapping, saying that stuff out loud for about 10 mins straight or til we talked 2 streets.
But the point is that he always apologised for all his behaviour, sometimes it felt genuine but then he hasnt changed and doesnt want me. I know for sure that he loves me and cares for me, and at times he does so much and makes me feel so good, safe and special but other times I feel hurt by how unvalued and mistreated I am by him. And it would be most of the day during our relation that I would go to bed crying, hurt and I was the type of person who would always be happy.
I had also changed for him so much cuz our cultural differences, I adapted to his lifestyle because he gave me an option of either changing myself (a bit- in terms of what i wear, how i talk and act) or he would leave me. I loved him the most and thus agreed to changing. Idm changing but in return i wanted to be appreciated, wanted and valued, ALL THE TIME!
Anyways after the day that he mistreated me in person, I had stopped talking to him completely. He came again to meet me just to apologise and i met him to listen, i always gave him chances to speak and apologise throughout our relation. That same day, our fams found out somehow about us, and as our culture is pretty strict or Id rather say doesnt allow dating, they talked to his parents that I cant be with him and told him directly that he doesnt treat me right. I did understand it would get hard once fams find out and try to separate us, all I wanted was for him to stick by me so we could try and make it work long term, convincing our fams. But I was heartbroken and felt betrayed when he stated ‘nothing can happen, theres no future’ Ofc he had made promises and we knew there would be obstacles in the way, but I wanted him to fight for me and if not then atleast to me, he could’ve made it seem like he wants us to put effort and make it effort. But then again, even before all this happened, he had made up his mind of not giving me what he used to and do ‘less’ so I guess thats why… But at that point I realised not only he treated me bad MULTIPLE TIMES, UNVALUED ME but also doesnt want me or wont fight for me. He would still talk to me, meet me sometimes and then made me feel this way.So i stopped contacting him for a week (note- our fams knew but we were still in contact). he would blame me for ignoring when i did what i shouldve considering I feel betrayed when he ddint fight for me. You know how people say, words matter nothing but at that point his actions or even words proved alot to me.
After not contacting him for a week, since I had strong feelings for him, i ended up talking to him and we were on and off, I was pissed at him and angry at what he did and would argue and he would get pissed. My intention was to make him realise and want me (FOOLISH). This went on for over a month until i decided to stop hurting each other, meet and if he left me i decided to stop expecting and chasing and instead of showing how hurt emotionally he made me and express my anger and hurt to him, I decided for us to meet, spend a good last time, apologise and thank for everything and part ways. Because I wanted to go into no contact period to make him realise how he left and treated me. But I didnt wanna do it straight after i had been sending angry texts to him so I wanted to say sorry if I had hurt him. Even he lowered contact but came to wish me when i graduated (one of the good qualities i was mentioning- he was a nice person after all).
But then when we did meet and end properly, every time it ddint work, we would either argue or start missing the other and start the meeting on a new day. On one of these meetings, he blamed me for blocking him when I had deactivated my accounts so he doesnt get hurt if i block, and I deactivated cuz he hurt me by unfollowing me and posting ‘time to find myself again’. In return of not trying to hurt him, I deactivated so i dont have to see any of that and be hurt also ensuring that he doesnt get hurt. But once again, he HURT me deeply by all the blames me put. He used really bad words and said alot of stuff to hurt me. Another time, he blamed me for talking to guys and would find proofs to show me. However, i did not even have my phone (my parents had took it) to be doing any of that. He judged my character and love. he called me ‘fake; and said he doesnt love or respect me. But I got so hurt and fed up, i couldnt bare the insult. i finally wrote him a final email, explaining his proofs and how defended myself. And then said he tested enough of my patience ik i wanted to end properly so i said the sorrys and thank yous in the same email, also making it clear whatever he did was too much for me to move on. Currently, after that email , i havent contacted or seen him and Im planning on it if i can control, but I genuinely am trying to move on considering that he judged my character and love. He crossed all limits, the day after he said sorry if he hurt me,not clearly admitting that he went wrong or wants me back. i bet he doesnt, he only wanted me to keep in touch but it doesnt work that way for me And tbh I just dont want to handle more of what he does and says,i feel like he has crossed all dots. Its my 5th day of no contact and pretty much every day he said sorry, or tried some sort of communication. I am the type of person who overthinks everything and even tho i was the victim, i feel bad ignoring, hurting someone or not responding. And after all he did, i still love him deep down but i cant tolerate him treating me that way or disrespecting and judging me.
WARNING: Ik im only saying all this from my perspective but i do know that i probs made mistakes too and hurt him at times too. Im not trying to portray myself as perfect and him as the bad guy, I did mention that he had good qualities and the fact that I fell in love with him, ofc I did think he was worth it,. I guess in terms of the relation itself, i dont feel like he valued me enough.
Ik this is too much, but if someone can read and tell me if Im doing the right thing and what I need to continue with. Also just anaylze the overall breakup and relation and see where and how things went wrong because I feel confused and this overthinking just makes me anxious and hurt. Thank youu

Hi Annie, so yes this is form your perspective and he probably has his own so thats where we tell clients to look at themselves and be brutally honest about their own faults and work on those to improve themselves during the no contact. You need to stick with a complete nc and then plan your texts and what youre going to talk to him about whent he time comes. keeping conversations positive light and short and NOT mentioning the relationship or break up. Good Luck
