Hi Chris,
My ex and I were in a very serious relationship for 15 months. To the point where we were making solid plans for the future together like investing and taking up post grads. We’re both 21 at this point and he started working about 3-4 months ago at a job I helped him get thru a friend who offered the position to me first. Anyway in the last few months of our relationship things got strained because we went from being together everyday to as little as once a week. What’s more I started noticing that even if he was making serious plans with me he kept wanting to draw closer to his girl friends. Mind you he has a lot of them. And he started texting this new girl at work (let’s call her Becky) a lot and I didn’t like that at all. I made it clear to him that I wasn’t okay with him not having boundaries with his girl friends but the more we kept going back to the issue the more toxic I turned out to be to him. Second I didn’t like how he kept wanting to go out with his office friends especially in lieu of the time we’d spend together. He’d invite me to join them but most of the time I just wanted to spend time with him after missing him all week. Fast forward to a week before he was supposed to get his knee operated on. He was planning to have a party that friday cause he’d be missing out on hanging out with his work friends but he’d still be going to work which was excessive for me. Then he had a couple of absences prior to that week so he was supposed to go overtime at work except he decided to cut it to go karaokeing with his friends. On top of that we were waiting for the results of his psychometrician board exam. I was busy with family stuff so I couldn’t go with him again but I raised that I wasn’t okay with how it seemed he was obsessed with going out with his friends so much but deep down I wasn’t okay with him hanging out with that Becky too. He took it wrong and ignored me the whole night. The next morning I check his results to see he passed but he never told me and instead celebrated it with his friends even posting on social media that he wouldn’t have known about it if it wasn’t for one of his girl best friends calling him that night. So I felt isolated. And I blocked him and told him it would be better if we broke things off. We decided to talk things thru first that coming friday but I found out from my mom that he had been ranting to her about me and saying that if I didn’t trust him we were really going to break up. It seemed like he was already decided so I told him it would be best we didn’t meet up anymore. But I was devastated. I tried to talk to him again but he just avoided me and pushed me away. A few days after when things slightly cooled down I visited him and took care of him at the hospital before his operation and we were okay. We planned on ending things as friends. In fact we admitted we still loved each other very much. But it turns out I stumbled upon his messages with Becky and one of his girl best friends and found out that he cheated on me and went out that friday and made out with Becky. From there things went horribly. He denied it but I recently found out from my friend who works with him that everyone in their office saw them make out and their boss even confronted him because he’s in HR and isn’t supposed to do that but he insists there was nothing wrong with what he did. He insisted he still loves me and still wants to be friends with me but that he just needed time on his own. Since then I told him I couldn’t be friends with him but I’ve also found from mutual friends that Becky is a pathological liar and an actual scammer. She’s sold numerous fake meet and greet passes for many concerts for money. My mom upon finding out told my ex and his parents about this but it doesn’t seem like it’s bothered my ex at all although his parents were definitely concerned. Since then I haven’t spoken to my ex nor his parents. At this point I’ve kept no contact for 11 days but Idk if I should consider my mom contacting him and his family as a break to the no contact rule. We’re still friends on social media and up until today he still views my ig stories. But today being our ex monthsary I noticed he’s stopped. I’m trying to do the no contact rule but it’s been very hard even trying to keep up with the Holy Trinity because it really seems like my ex is moving forward from me and doesn’t want to do anything with me. He’s really hung up on Becky and hasn’t spoken a word to me since. I still love him very much. He isn’t the first relationship I’ve been in but it’s the most sincere one I’ve had. Deep in my heart I know we belong together. It’s just been hard reconciling that feeling with the reality of what’s going on between us. Any words of advice on the direction I need to take from here would be hugely appreciated.

Hi Hanna,
If you’re mom is still contacting his family, ask her to stop because that just makes you look like you’re chasing him..

Hi Amor,
Thank you for your reply “it says a lot on his character.. Rethink about your standards.. If he does it to them, wouldn’t be surprised if he’s going to do it to you..”
I completely agree with you if I only knew this information about him, i would run a mile and go nowhere near him!
However, all of this is completely out of character for him. There are things I don’t want to go into on here but he is in a bad place since our breakup and I’m only beginning to realise/know this now. Also, most likely the reason for our breakup too.
The OW is not someone he would ever “normally” be with… She’s a lot older, not who he would find attractive etc etc but I feel she is sort of a “sugar mommy” for him. This is why he gets with the other, more his type of women onboard the ship (different one each contract, so not flitting between women onboard).
Not excusing his behaviour AT ALL, just providing some insight.
I think when I see him in a few weeks, I will just lay everything out on the table and just ask him about it. Not sticking to the program but it’s been almost a year and I think I’m entitled to some answers.
Thanks again.

I’ve been broken up with my ex since January and have been working the program since.
We were/are LDR and he went straight into another LDR with OW. Who he has technically been with this whole time. He works on a cruise ship, so they have only really spent a month this summer together, whilst he was between contracts.
However, I have recently learnt that he cheated on OW with a girl from the ship from Feb-May. Hooked up with me when we met in July. Then got with a different girl from the ship from Aug to a few weeks ago. The reason they’ve broken up is because she found out about the OW.
He didn’t do anything like this in the 2 years we were together. He isn’t doing this to me now either because we’re not together and he has never mentioned ever being in a relationship with anyone in the whole time we’ve been talking.
But I’m conflicted because on one hand this is all good because it means he’s not in love with any of these women. However, on the other hand I hate who is right now, the man I know and love wouldn’t behave in such a disgusting way, so it’s a turn off.
My question is should I be concerned for these other women and how he’s treating them? I’m doing the being there method and our rapport is good, we’re seeing each other in a few weeks. So it’s all going well but knowing about all this leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

Hi Chris!
I’m from the Philippines. And I love reading your articles and it really helps me a lot with my situation right now. I’ve been in an 18 months relationship, but unfortunately he moved to another place and we became in a long distance relationship. The first and second month of our long distance relationship has been really good and I thought that we’re really working this out. But suddenly, he became really cold and decided to break up with me. It’s been a month since we broke up. And I think because he’s with someone new who he met there. He just broke up with me through chat and he wants us to meet in person to talk and clear some things. But I’m pretty sure he left me for someone else because I can see his post on facebook. Should I meet him? Is there still a chance to get him back? I think the reasons he wants to meet is just to get some closure. Thank you Chris and the team. I really hope I can get an advice. Thank you.

EBR 015: How To Get A Long Distance Boyfriend Back If He Has A New Girlfriend

November 21, 2017 at 7:51 pm
Hi!
My bf and I had a long distance and open relations hop. Hé started darling a friend from his office when I told him I wanted to stay longer and broke his heart. Hé says hé kept talking to her about How much he missed me. A couple of weeks After hé came to see me and travel es throw Europe together. I décides to come back home, he found out I was seeing some one and things I wanted to stay because of him.
The first months back home were hell because he was so weird and hurt. His feelings for this girl started growing to the point that he told me he thought he was inlove (completly drunk).
We broke up as Both got sick of the situation.
When we broke up he said I’m the love of his life and when he sets up his émotions (doubts, ánger, abandonment) we would be toguether. He actually said in 3-4 months.
I told him that wouldnt work for me as I Can’t live with that hope. He smiled and said I could think that but he knows we are ment for eachother. (I told him I didn’t want to talk for a couple of weeks)
Started NC next day, he texted ok day 3 to say I look pretty and kept texting “just tell me and I wont bother you again”. Didn’t answer since I had told him already when we brokeup.
Day 10 my friends tell me he’s kissing and holding hands with the other girl At a party, I’m sure he spent the night with her.
They don’t have a real relationship yet. Should I do 30 days NC or shorten to 21? I Can’t place thé girl on any category. Is she a rebound?
He’s in a really bad place right know and I think he Can’t be with anyone.

This website has been so helpful. Here’s a short version of my issues… my bf and I broke up 8 months ago. I did NC for a little more than 30 days, we started building rapport and he was very responsive, we got to the second “fun” date with friends, then to the movies and that’s when he said he was confused and just wanted to be friends. I said I coudn’t quite do friends at the moment and did limited contact for 30 days (since we are on med school together). After that we started texting again, he came over to my place and we spent a very romantic afternoon (no kissing or anything like it), and after he left he texted me saying that he was glad that we could be friends, so I started friendzoning him, ignoring him a bit, using a little jealousy and all that’s on the friendzone article on this site. Today I found out he’s been dating a girl for almost a month, he never told me we just bumped into a party. Even so, this past few days he’d been texting me, asking me to join him at the gym, having lunch with me, even a fun session of tickling involved. I honestly don’t know what to do now, we are on the same group of friends and he never mentioned this new girl to any of them, so I wasn’t concerned about being flirty sometimes because he flirted back and I didn’t now about that girl! Should I say something? Do limited contact again and then try the “being there” thing? Please… any thoughts are veeery welcome. Ps. I already read the article of “he want to date me and another girl” and I really think he doesn’t want anything like that.

Hi Confused,
nope, just keep building rapport.. and in your case, he didn’t say to you that he wants to date you too and the other girl, so you’re not supposed to know.. unless he mentions that he wants to date you, then bring that up but make it casual. So, that you don’t seem like you’re stalking him and that you’re so into him..

Dear Chris, My ex and I were long distance and he moved onto a new girlfriend in less than a month (after not telling me if the relationship was over or not). They’ve been together for at least two months. I did the EBR No Contact for 50 days, was very active with posting, and during this time he tried to reach out to me and called me (all ignored). When I first initiated contact he responded positively, and I immediately ended the conversation. I then waited and two weeks later he initiated contact on two different social media platforms with two different messages. I was busy so didn’t respond for 24 hours. When I replied, he responded immediately and reminisced about something we had done together. I didn’t respond and went to sleep. He then sent another message saying that ‘he missed those days’, and then at 4am my time, (UK) he tried ringing me. When I didn’t respond to that, he then corrected and reposted his other message (which I hadn’t responded to) on Instagram. I didn’t respond to either of his messages until 24 hrs later. My response was happy and upbeat, but I did not acknowledge his call, nor that he said he missed us. Are his messages a good sign, and was I wrong not to acknowledge the call or that he misses us? He has not responded to my reply. I didn’t want to say I missed him, nor pick up a late night phone call, for fear of looking too needy/available or that he was only looking for an ego boost. Should I initiate the next message soon or wait?

Hi Amor,
So it’s me, the one who has the ex who started dating his 19yr old student, I went into NC and intended to do the ‘being there’ thing bc remember he told me he would like to remain friends. It was 45 days NC last Saturday and I thought about messaging him. I’m too good for him haha and I’ve told him this before so I decided I’m better off without him but I would like to try and be his friend and JUST friends, do you think that’s possible? Also the oddest thing started happening this week, this girl he’s seeing is now stalking my instagram stories. What do you think this means?

My ex of 2 years broke up with me a little over a month ago and I started NC a week after the breakup. I have a few more days left and have the first contact message ready and everything. It was his birthday last week and I didn’t greet him, but I found out that he spent it with a friend from childhood (who he’s been hanging out with a lot since the breakup). I don’t know if they’re actually dating, but I’ve got that feeling they are. I don’t know if it’s a rebound relationship, something casual, or serious. And it’s difficult for me to keep an eye on their relationship, because I have no connections with the girl. I’m not quite sure how to approach the situation.

Yes, I’ve been working out and staying focused on other things. I do post on social media, but not all that much. I’m also worried that he might be caught offguard once I initiate conversation, especially since I missed greeting him on his birthday.

HI France,
are you actively improving yourself and being active in posting? Initiate contact and slowly build rapport. Act like you don’t know so, that he doesn’t think you’re stalking him.

My ex and I dated on and off and then was consistent for 2 years and lived together. We known each other for 7 years. We broke up a couple months ago and he started dating his ex. I followed ebr. Now we at the point of consistent phone and in person contact. Recently he slept over we passed out while watching a movie but didn’t have sex I won’t do that without commitment and obviously not in a relationship. He will spend time with me during the day or really late( hr works 2 jobs and doesnt get done u til late and still will spend time with me(talking, games, cooking, etc). He told me I’m more confident and wish how am I now I was when we were together. He told me he is 70 percent invested in me and it’s effecting his relationship. First he said we shouldnt see eachother and then he changed what he said to not seeing each other at my place (I reacted very well). I notice that when we get close he lessen the contact. Omgosh help!!! I understand getting him back is going to take patience and I feel I’m heading in that direction Idk if I should keep doing what I’m doing or modify a bit…

My ex bf & I were together for 7 years & we were engaged. I cheated on him we broke up last June 2016 but we never really stopped talking or seeing each other from then till now. He dated other girls I only went out with 2 guys. June of this year we got back together & we were seeing each other everyday & I was staying at his place some. Thurs August the 24 we got into an argument that morning because he said he didn’t want me there at his house all the time. I got upset & said I won’t be at your house again to pack my stuff & bring it to me. He said he didn’t want that he wanted us together & he wanted to spend that weekend with me. I wouldn’t give in & just telling him to get my stuff to my house. He said he loved me didn’t want it so I insisted. Well he actually did it. He got my stuff & brought to my house. Then that Saturday he went out with a new girl & spent all Sunday with her as well. This whole we were talking to each other. Then this past Tuesday he shows up at my house to see me & we have sex then he leaves. Wednesday was good conversation to but then that night he tells me he asked that girl to go away for the weekend with him but she can’t go he says. Then I get upset at him & tell him he can have her & spend whatever weekends he wants with her cause I was done. That night he text & called me all night till about 1 AM. I never responded. Then Thursday he showed up at my house & he said let’s talk & I said what do we have to talk about with attitude & he gets upset & leaves. He sends me a long text stating he’s given me chance after I cheated he’s tried to fix us & he can’t be around as long as I have attitude. He also goes. On to say he’s never loved any body like he’s loved me, he loves me & always will but he’s not gonna bother me anyone more he’s gonna walk away & start a new life. I don’t respond till this morning. I text he text back he came over we talked he looked me dead in the eye said he loves me he wants back together he wants to give me my ring back he wants us to get married etc etc. I’m over joyed happy & smiling. Then he says he has to go he has somethings to do. Then a lil later he text me & said that the girl got whatever worked out so she could go with him this weekend & he was going out of town with her. He just left my house. I responded with ok & everything u just told me was a lie to have fun that I will go out with someone to. He replies with I’m being honest you ignored me those 2 days & I had made these plans. Then I did the ultimate mistake. I begged. Begged not to do it that I would let this weekend go if he would give us another chance that I loved him I was just hurt & i knew how he felt when I cheated on him. & I didn’t want him doing this. Then he replies with I’m driving it’s raining. So he’s with her now. I’m lost. What do ido? Where do I start to fix this?

I’ve been doing all of these. Things were going well( he took me out for lunch, he initiated texting and calling, responded to me quickly and it didn’t matter what time, he opened up to me). we hung out until 4am and his gf called him and was pissed. I will say I put boundaries up(as in I won’t and have not slept with him unless he ends his current relationship) after him and his gf fought (which wasn’t the first time) he contact me less and blew me off. If intimate contact he will text back but not as quick as before.
His gf knows that I’m still in the picture and she doesn’t like it and continues to post pics and tag his name so I can see it. She appears that she happy and unbothered and that their relationship is good. I don’t know if that’s true or for show.
Lastly my ex told me that his current relationship there communication and trust. And yet he didn’t tell her we contact each other and spend time together…she found out by snooping and well women know when something is up.
I’m trying to patient but I don’t know what to do. Feel like she won. I’m trying everything. Everything has worked up until now(I followed the EBR, unbearable girl, and texting bible, and the articles) Idk maybe I should give up…please help

For about 2 or 3 weeks. Nothing that time his current gf has Facebook messaged me and Ignored it. She has delete my profile from his netflix. He asked me if I texted his gf our messages and I told him I didn’t. I think she snooped through his phone but I didn’t say that to him. After we spend time together until 4am and he and his gf had another argument I noticed he has been distant and she took a pic of herself tagged him. I notice he doesn’t reach out as much but will respond when I texted. Currently this is my 3rd not initiating text. He’s been acting this way for a week now

Lauren Richardson
August 26, 2017 at 2:22 pm
Hello Chris,
Before seeing this post I started no contact. The guy and I were not official at the time, but he basically ended things with me because we had began to argue a lot, and he started dealing with someone else (I know he’s dealing with someone but he didn’t come out and say it, even though he technically was “single.”) I stopped talking to him, then started back when his mom contacted me when something bad happened. I was there for him, then he said something that made me mad (it was NOT about another female), and plus though he reached out to me and his mom did, I felt he was still involved with someone else, so my feelings were still fragile. So I told him to kiss my backside when he said what made me mad and I then started no contact. This is the first post I’ve read on this site that doesn’t suggest doing NC first. Unless I’m missing something… Anyhow, I’m 15 days into NC and he has called and texted the whole time, and popped up at my place, catching me before I went in, twice, questioning me about not answering his calls/texts. He has always talked to me because I know his secrets and he trusts me with his personal business and thoughts. I know this is something he misses because he texted saying he missed it and that I’m the only one to ever really listen to him. So do I end no contact and follow the steps in this post??? What to do!?
EBR Team Member: Amor
August 27, 2017 at 1:33 pm
did you mean the being there method? actually the advice above should be done after the no contact period.. If you’re friendzoned and you’ve already built up rapport, but of course you’re friendzoned, it would be better to say a clean slate message or text first before starting nc. Like, being friends is not workable for me now and then start nc.

Hi it’s me again. I have been doing all these things, but my ex boyfriend is having problems with he easily get a attached to people. He’s attached to me still, but he’s still attached to his current girlfriend. She is controlling, and all they do is fight and argue. So my question is, how can I help so my ex boyfriend won’t feel like he will regret making a decision to break up with her? He told me that himself, and he said he feels like he will one day realize that he can’t live without her. He’s attached to her and me. Please help, thanks in advance!

He’s not.. He just wants the best option for him and him alone.. He thinks about which choice he’s going to be happier, you think about how he’s going to be happier too..
Who thinks about your self respect?
If he wants you, he has to be a man and deserve you..
Dont make yourself as just “one of” his options. If you respect yourself enough, you know he shouldn’t even be thinking like that..
If he really loves the other girl, he has to man up and leave you.. If he really wants you, he has to man up and make it work with you..

So I don’t want to be mean. Ibe already told him a lot of times that he needs to make the decision up now. But they have no clue that my ex boyfriend is the father of my baby. I know he is, but they don’t. So until then they’re both waiting until the DNA test comes back and if it’s positive, his current girlfriend is going to leave him. Thanks for your advice, I understand that my ex doesn’t need to wait this out any longer, but his current girlfriend is controlling and I can’t text him unless he does first, because he has to text me certain hours when she isn’t there at the house. I know that the DNA test will come back positive, I’m going to wait and let the breaking up part happen; last year I’ve made a lot of mistakes and this time I’m going to wait until the DNA test, and then afterwards I’m going to tell him that he’s the father and we have a son together and we need to be a family.
EBR Team Member: Amor

It’s ok to talk to him about the baby once the DNA is out.. He’s a grown man, he can make his own decisions..unless the girl is pointing a gun at him, all decisions made at this point is his own..

He’s not.. He just wants the best option for him and him alone.. He thinks about which choice he’s going to be happier, you think about how he’s going to be happier too..
Who thinks about your self respect?
If he wants you, he has to be a man and deserve you..
Dont make yourself as just “one of” his options. If you respect yourself enough, you know he shouldn’t even be thinking like that..
If he really loves the other girl, he has to man up and leave you.. If he really wants you, he has to man up and make it work with you..

Thanks, you’re right,I wont try to prove…we meet 2-3times a week,and say goodbye at my door.Before, he was reluctant and said it’s not allowed to come up to my place(I think he referred to the fact he has a gf), but the last two times I was surprised bacause he came up.(to repair my self and then to drink a glass of water)I didn’t expect it because I heard what he said before and I didnt push it after that.When he came up, it happened naturally,I didn’t make it a big deal.What changed for him?Do you think I should use this occasions to get closer to him a little?

Hi:)
We meet two times a week, and last time I had an idea and I showed him our first text messages from 2,5 years ago.He smiled when he read them,and he asked questions from me to put the memories together. When we said goodbye he was sweet and hugged me more strongly for a few seconds. Do you think I should continue to talk about sweet memories, show pictures…? And is this a good idea to behave confident and show and tell him that I can give more to him than his girlfriend? Thanks in advance 🙂

Continue building rapport but dont over do showing memories, because it would be obvious that you’re trying to get him back

Thanks:)I don’t really know how to make him miss me,I was never good at that…Should I disappear for few days when he usually can expect me?My problem that I’m afraid that then he won’t trust me.So he had never had a chance to miss me. Is this would be a good way to make a man miss me?And plus what any further ways are there?

My ex has a new girlfriend they have been together about three months going on four so she’s not a rebound plus it’s the second girl he’s been with since we split up.
We split up almost a year ago and we stayed talking to each other apart from when he got with his first girlfriend after me I stopped talking to him for a month or so and when he got with his current one I did the same.
Each time he came back to me and told me he missed me.
Lately my ex told me he still loved me and what’s us to give it another go in the future but he still has his girlfriend he tells me not to believe everything I see on social media but the things I see they both seem so happy together declaring their love for rachel other and it’s honestly killing me..
As far as she knows me and him don’t talk at all but he’s coming to see me tomorrow and she has no idea he went away for the weekend with her and we haven’t really spoke because don’t talk to him when he’s with her…
I’m so lost I’ve no idea what to do I love him so much and I really don’t want to lose him. Can you help please!

Hi Emma,
If he knows you know that he has a gf, it’s either you set a limit on until when you’re going to try with him or move on..

So my ex has a problem with depression and he broke up with me because he needed to work on himself and get his drinking under control. Which I am understanding about because I too suffer from depression but i get help for mine, he does not, yet. He said he loved me and that he was sorry, he didn’t want to hurt me. We officially broke up on July 3rd, I decided to try NC, he said happy birthday to me on the 17th. Then he posts a picture on the 21st of him and this girl. So now I am even more heartbroken and even more confused. I had noticed that she posted the same picture 1 hour before he posted on his Instagram. Her caption was kind of lovey but his caption on his post was the emoji:
So idk if she’s just a rebound and she’s taking it more seriously than he is. Idk why he would post a picture like that so soon after our brake up do you think it’s to make me jealous?. We had a great relationship for 2 1/2 years but towards the end his depression was getting the better of him and he didn’t want a relationship anymore. That’s what he told me. I also found out that she just graduated higschool this year, so she’s 19 and he’s 21, I just turned 22. She’s moving to Georgia for college this August. Should I continue with the NC and then move to the being there method?

The emoji didn’t show up, but it’s the grimacing face one

she’s probably a rebound and yes, continue on with nc and use the being there method after.
