I had a boyfriend who turned into a guy friend on his terms and because I still had feelings for him it made it hard and we always ended up arguing. then 3 weeks ago he completely broke it off without even telling me, so I asked why and we both confirmed and it actually ended up being mutual. However, I still have feelings for him. we have talked in person bout it twice, but I saw him like 6 times, and been ignoring him and not saying hi. I found out that he has been telling someone else this, like talking bout our situation to help himself out, why would he do that? but then in person last night i was bout 20 feet behind him and he kept turning around to see if I was coming his way, which I was but not to him and he knew that, I was just heading inside from outside, and so I seen him slow down and stop and wait for me. I purposely ignored him and passed by him, and he hurried and ran in front of me to hold open the doors, which would be forcing me to pass by him and talk. he asked “everything alright?” and we started talking. he was telling me how obvious I am with another guy that I text and that he is going to talk to the guy and tell him to stop texting me b/c it is ruining HIS and the guys relationship by the other guy texting me…is he jealous or actually mean that? or both? idk…I want to know if he still has feelings for me.

Hey so I have been dating a guy for 1 year we broke up like 2 months ago. we didnt talk for about 3 weeks then bumped into each other and then we started talking and had a major talk where he told me that he believes that the break up was the right thing to do. After that he would still message me and ask me to go out to lunch with him. We met actually last friday. He hasnt messaged me since. I want to get together with him I just dont know what my next steps should be. If he wants to hang out should I hang out with him or should I ignore him?? When we hang out we hang out like its old times though like we have fun as if nothing has happened… I m confused :S

Well, I think you have to ask yourself something. Will hanging out with him at this point bring me closer to getting him back?

My boyfriend and I got into a argument this past weekend. I have issues that he is not making me a priority and prefers to hang at his friends house all day playing Xbox. Granted he does come home but it’s usually after 9pm when Im sleep. His son comes over every other weekend and I plan things for the kids to do together with us but all he wants to do is play that Xbox at his friends. I expressed how I felt about it. I told him I made adjustments to my life (partying every weekend and on the weekdays) and I feel he is not doing the same thing. He thinks it’s no big deal because he’s not “running the streets”. But if I’m compromising so should he. He says I’m what he wants, he loves me but actions speak louder then words. He came to my house and said nothing else about the issue, it hasn’t been resolved or talked about. I felt uncomfortable so I asked him to go home (he’s been at my house everyday for the past month). He said he would call me once I calmed myself down because I was upset and he does not want to argue. That was 3 days ago. I feel like I shouldn’t call him. I told him my concerns and now it’s his job to show me he cares and address them. Thoughts?

You shouldn’t call him. In fact, I would say wait till he contacts you.

My boyfriend and I have been together almost two years. We got into a petty argument and he broke things off with me. He says he still wants to be cool and still text me and calls. It seems he’s more responsive when I ignore his calls and text. I want to try some of your tactics and completely cut off contact from him but his bday is coming up. Should I still get him a gift or go ahead with ignoring his calls and text completely now?

My boyfriend and I were having the talk and he was like what do you want for the future. We have been together too way long (7yrs).I acted careless and we agreed to end it. He acts sweet and surprise, asking me do not you want more…then he has been distant but acting like hurt but attentive to my needs sometimes. Sometimes he is a jerk but most of the time he is sweet. We have been exclusive and we still are. The point here is that we have financial problems from so long, I am scare to have a family with him,,I would like to but is too risky. He is having a family problem with his dad is really sick almost to death. His parents are old. I have to admit he is a momy`s boy. I hate that. I used to love him but not much anymore,,,but deep inside I do not want to lose him..perhaps I am confuse for all the problems, financial, death, commitment…do you think he loves me? should I be brave with him and stick to him? His father was at the hospital a week ago, and yesterday was my bday and he forgot,,,he sent a sweet message the day after saying a lot of good things,,,I was furious and I rejected his message then I thanks him. I do not know what to do,,,Do you think is worthy to be with him?

Hi I just started no contact it’s day 4. me and my partner were together for 3 and a half years. He cheated on me but I gave him a second chance but I couldn’t get the thoughts of him and the girl out of my head he was seeing her for 2 weeks before I caught on. Anyways about two weeks after I caught him cheating he was talking to another girl off this chat site I wasn’t happy and kicked him out but I still loved him and let him back in well two months later the fights where bad and he dumped me yes he is a asshole but I still love him. Anyways he never gave me back all my stuff so I gave up on it but keeps promising to give it back what a joke anyways before I started no contact he was calling me twice sometime three times a day but than he lied about coming up I live 3 hours away now and his family live in the same town. I was excited to see him and get some of my stuff back but when I found out he lied I was really angry like he knew I would find out he wasn’t here. And while he was lieing he said he was going to see this girl Chloe his childhood friend but I know he fancys her but it was all lies. Anyways during our relationship we where always together I mean always. He would do anything for me and he loved me alot I miss that I miss him do u think we might get back together?

So me and my ex were together for 6 months we met through a social networking date thing and we’ve hung out like 6 or 7 times I fell deeply in love with him he broke up with me 2 month feel that I may have over stepped my boundaries by telling how I felt about a lot of times and he never was open with his feelings and I wish that I could lose weight so he would take me back but he told me he lost interest in me I miss him a lot he’s the only guy I’ve been that I feel this way for. What do I do?

Why can’t you lose weight?

Cause I can’t lose it just like that because I’m a type 2 diabetic so I just can’t stop eating like I want to.

I have been dating my boyfriend for almost 2 years now and we broke up a week ago. He says that he loves me and wants to stay with me but need to figure things out and what he really wants. he has always talked about how sometimes he wants to be single and enjoy life but at the same time he wants to be in a relationship. I can’t live with that so i told him to go figure things out, but did not say anything about waiting for him. I told him I would continue with my life. He text me hi, share funny texts, and calls me to check on me. But he does agree he needs to figure things out to be fair to both of us. I politely text him back just hi there and do not extend the conversation. We actually broke off over the phone as it seems every time we try to talk about a break when we see each other we are both not strong enough and end up together. I love him and it is difficult for me and he said he miss me but he needs the time. I really think he needs to figure things out and I am not sure why he keeps contacting me if he does not seem to care to let me go. What should I do forward. Should I completely ignore him for a while then what?
Thx! 🙂

Hiya. I had been dating this guy for about two months. The first time we met I was so happy that he asked me to be his girlfriend right away. I didn’t know he was going through a divorce however, and also had a baby with his ex. From the start out relationship was hard because of her. She didn’t want to lose control of him or for him to be happy, so she made it as difficult as she could for us. We managed to work through it, and he asked me to start staying the night with him at his parents, he was working on getting his own place, and I was happy to. I thought he cared about me, he wanted me to stay with him, he asked me out, he told me he loved me first. I didn’t rush him, I just obliged thinking how lucky I was that he wants these things from me. We broke up a time before because he said he wanted some space, I was more than willing to give it to him, I mean, I need alone time too and time with my friends. So we got back together and last night I go to his house to spend the week with him as usually and he says I shouldn’t stay tonight. I ask why he says his parents are bitching at him. I’m sad but I say okay.. But he seems distant, I tell him he doesn’t have to be with me if he doesn’t want to. He says okay really quickly and says we should just be friends until he gets his own place and his stuff figured out… But I’ve been hurt badly and told this before. I don’t know if I should wait for him? I don’t know if he really wants to get back together or is using it as an excuse. He says he’s not hurting because this is what he needs right now… But don’t you hold onto someone you love? And I don’t know how to be friends with him… Does he want out for good? Or is it just a break? Please help. :/

My boyfriend and I broke up only a few days ago. I broke up with him and I told him that I don’t deserve him and everything he did to me( I listed absolutely everything ever for him ) I thought that I was horrible and I wouldve made him feel really bad but the thing is… I don’t think he cared enough about me in all the time we were together to ever be able to miss me. I want him to… I want him to feel the way he shouldve felt when we were together and I want him to regret only ever thinking about himself. I want him to want me but I don’t think I want him back. Do you think he ever will?

Hello,
This might be a strange story… I was with a guy for more than 8 months. I was his first sort of girlfriend (he (in his mid twenties) never had a girlfriend before or let anyone close to him, I am the first, because I didn’t let him push me away). He is the sweetest guy, but whenever it comes too close, he pushes me away (he has a low self esteem) but I never gave up. He is ignoring me, and than all of the sudden he is back. I had a lot of patience, because I could tell he had two faces, one is a kind and gentle person, the other is his defense mechanism (cynical, not so kind). As I did not know everything about him yet, it frustrated me that he never acknowledged that we were in a relationship. While everyone could see that we are made for each other. We had so much fun all the time! However, we went on holiday together, which went perfect and I told myself, that when we got back he should say we have a relationship. Well he didn’t. The one thing he told me was that he never was in love with me. He did say we are perfect for each other and he likes me a lot, but he now don’t want a relationship, because he can’t handle it. He knows we are good when we are together and that we have so much fun, but he chooses to ignore it. Well, that made me cry of course, and I was chasing him a bit, mostly because I couldn’t understand… his actions did not match his words. He shows he likes me, but he says the opposite. Now he told his friends that he is sort of done with me, because of the drama. But we have the same friends, so we went out together.. I told him I was done as well, very relieved and that I want us to stay friends… And then he is suddenly so kind to me! Giving me a kiss on the cheek, putting his arms around me. Seriously, I don’t get it. Could you please explain to me what to do… do you think that NC will work with this kind of guy? A guy that is so afraid of love, while on the other hand he wants it. But I will not tell him not to contact me, I was thinking about just to disappear out of his life for a while. So he will be wondering what I am doing… Or do you think that after the drama, this won’t work? What are your thoughts?
Thank you.
Tammy Kath.

hey
my noncommittal ex (on/off for 2 years..cheated once and gave him another try) and I stopped talking 6 months ago when we ended up taking jobs in different cities. If he was more committal, I would have taken a job closer to his, but would have been a poor career move for me. He and I still had 4 months in the same place, before moving. I heard he started dating someone new and she moved with him.
I sent him an email a month before moving to say goodbye and he didnt respond. I saw him at a bar with his new girl, and he just looked at me, hesitated..and walked away. 2 months later he sent me an email saying “I hope I didnt hurt you, and hope you find happiness”….I never responded.
2 months later, I got a text from him..I hope all is well and hope you werent affected by the flooding (huge disaster where I live)…I still havent responded. I still miss him and want him back…i’m not sure if he is still with his new gf…Should I respond? and if so what would be good to say?

Hello, my bf just broke up with me abt 1 mnth ago. And we were together for 10 yrs. We have 3 children together. I love him like crazy he has my heart and always will. The reason he broke up with me was because he says he doesn’t feel the same way for me anymore as he used to feel. He cheated on me with my former middle/high school friend tht now works with him at his job. And now he says he’s going to be moving out soon but not just quite yet cause he can’t afford it just yet so as of right now he’s still living here with us but sometimes he’ll leave and won’t come back for days he’ll be sleeping with her at her place now. He says he needs some space from me and tht he loves me still but can’t be with someone who accuses him of cheating all the time. Please help I need some advice because I still love this guy to death. He has my heart and he’s my world!!!! Thank u jessica

My boyfriend and I dated for about 8 months. Its been 3 months now since the breakup and I think I pushed him away by trying too hard to make him want a more serious relationship. I’d send him long texts telling him how I feel because I was scared of losing him(even though I knew he cared) and he hated it(always told me to relax) until he had to leave to a different city for work which made things get worse. When he came back we had a huge fight at his house that I left not talking to him and deleted his contact details even though he said he was sorry. Ever since then there are times he’d text me asking if I can call him but he wouldn’t say anything much. The past 2months went past without hearing from him and apparently he’d lost his phone. He recently contacted me saying that he misses me on facebook and I replied the following day saying I miss him too. We exchanged contact details days later but then he just went quiet until I decided to text him on bbm saying I wanted to work things out with him. He said it wouldn’t work because he’s now working in a different city and I got the vibe he was angry for some reason. Days went past and he invited me to his place(well it turns out he’s temporarily back in my city) but I made excuses not to go because I wasn’t feeling right at the time. Five days later I told him I’ll be nearby his place(hoping he might wanna see me” but he did not reply. I’m frustrated and confused. Do you think there’s hope for us? Have I ruined it by texting him? What should I do?

I don’t think you have ruined things. I just think you are approaching things the wrong way. You pretty much did the opposite of what this site suggests and so far the results aren’t great. I say take a risk and employ what this site teaches.

We were together a year and he was also separated a year when we met and started talking. After two months we were in love. our families were acquainted and it was a real love story. We were happy until his divorce became final four weeks ago. We started arguing, but small silly things. He seemed angry and irrational in response to things that happened at work and in relationship. I told him to work on this anger, asked if he needed space and he said no. but during this time he still prepared for wedding next year by buying things which would help us to be one. After two more weeks of arguing the relationship was strained but we knew we loved one another. He became cold and seemed to withdraw, told me he wanted a relationship with no expectations, wanted to take it day by day and get to know me better. After a year?? We talked every day for a year and at least 10 times a day. That didn’t sit well with me so I told him I needed space and told him we agreed in the beginning that we were the one for each other and I don’t want to switch up and see what happens just because of arguing over miscommunication or silly things. I told him he was a great friend and boyfriend but I wanted the assurance that this was going where we agreed it was going. He got mad and hung up on me. I called a day later and he didn’t pick up. I sent email thanking him for space and asking if he was willing to talk. Nothing. It feels completely over or am I being punished for pointing out major issue in our relationship and taking time to think?

I don’t think you are being punished at all. I think that your main problem is that you are the one doing the chasing.
Jessie
September 30, 2013 at 12:12 am
Point taken. He sent me a very text last night and said he didn’t think I knew how heartbroken he was that I needed time away from him, that he was paying money each month for the ring, he loved me and tried his best, and he will understand if I can’t wait for him to think things through. I told him to take his time. NC on my end now, but if I don’t hear from him in 30 days is it safe to assume that he’s no longer interested?

I was dating a guy for 3 months. One night we were drinking and he asked me if I wanna be his gf. I didn’t expect that because in my opinion you don’t ask something like that when you’re drunk. I didn’t really tell him if I wanna be his gf, because I thought that well talk about it when we are sober. When we met next time he was really angry and told me that he’s moving back up north cuz he didnt find anyone here. He also told me that he was using me all this time. Now he’s ignoring my calls and texts. I feel like I’m chasing him. I mean, what is your opinion on that? How to make him regret?
admin
September 29, 2013 at 11:43 pm
Thats the problem!
YOU CAN’T CHASE HIM. That is why the NC rule is so important.
