    Hi Chris,
    I have been with my ex for 4 years and he moved out and ended the relationship July 31. He said I was to much and all I wanted to do is argue but that was not the case he didn’t like it when I would tell him the things he was doing was not acceptable. 2 weeks after he left we bumped into each other and he stopped and said hi. I text him and told him It’s better if we not speak to each other. He was upset and said he will not say nothing to me. Now when he see me he just stares and watch me walk down the street. I ignore him. I haven’t spoken to him in 3 months. He is the one that ended our relationship. Am I doing the right thing? I think the only reason he wanted to speak is to see if I was miserable without him and that’s why I decided to ignore him altogether

      Hi Taya!

      Sometimes guys get hurt and they just quiet and into denial. Focus on your self growth and he is a big boy. If he wants to pursue you, he can.

    I think this is wrong. You’re giving women hope that there’s a chance to get back with him.. There is always a reason relationships end. And if it ends, and if he’s the one who breaks it off, then he isn’t worthy of a second chance. And vise versa. I like the no contact rule, but I would encourage this: go 30 days without contact. After that you have proved to yourself that you are strong and that you are worth something better. Go another 30 days. Don’t try to get back, that alone is desperation. Believe in yourself enough to know that there’s someone better out there for you, who won’t break up with you. Why put yourself through the misery of trying to go back to a relationship that has failed?

    I’m sorry but your article is giving people false hope. Be better than that.

      Thank you for your thoughts. Everybody’s situation is unique and calls for different approaches. Some people are not compatible and they come to learn that. But others do have a chance, yet conflict for all kinds of reasons will arise and sometimes it takes time and perspective and experience and maturity to work thru this. I wish we lived in a world where there were no breakups and everybody chose wisely, but unfortunately, relationships can be confusing, complex, messy, and a dozen other things. But not all of them should be abandoned.

    Hello! Quick question, got back in touch with my ex yesterday after just short of 3 weeks, and he seemed really receptive, hoped I was looking after myself, wished me luck in my exams and I said I’d let him know how he got on and he said “please do I really want to know”, he wanted to know what I’d been up to etc. He’s on holiday for the rest of the week so I understand he’s busy, but he’s stopped replying and it’s bothered me more than I thought it would. Should I restart no contact at this point and do the full 30 days, or wait to see if he messages me when he’s back (while maintaining no contact)?

      Hi Katie! Thanks for stopping by, glad to have you! He seems to be pushing back. Perhaps an abbreviated NC…to give him space and an opportunity to initiate contact…then try again.

      That’s not a no contact rule anymore.. That means you should move on.

    Followed NC from day 2 of being broken up. I only begged him to give me a second chance the night of the actual breakup.
    During NC I worked on myself to be the Ungettable Girl. Lots of inward reflection to not make mistakes going forward, spent time with friends and I’m even starting a new and rewarding job soon.
    At day 21 I sent him a message about how a certain tv show reminded me of him and asked how he was. He responded within the hour. After another hour, I responded with casual chat and after another half hour he indicated he was on a snowboarding trip. I let a few more hours pass before responding again, I saw that he read it right away but said nothing. So after another half hour I asked if he would be open to talking about some things when he was back from vacay and he responded right away saying “ok, I’ll text you when I’m back”. It’s been 2 weeks now and I know he’s home. I’ve just continued to give him his space. I really want to talk to him. How should I proceed? Thank you for your time!

      Hi Dawn,

      It looks like you rushed it on the first day of texting.. Are you continuously improving yourself and being in posting in social media?

    Hey,

    What if after two months he said he’s still angry with me (but we were exchanging texts after NC). Where do I go from there and is this a form of punishment?

      After two months of texting? Either let him initiate, or move on.

    How to stop texting the ex on Facebook messenger?

    I have deleted his phone number/his whatsapp, so that I can never call or text him as I know (when I am sane) that I shouldn’t and do not want to. However, how can I block myself from contacting him on Facebook Messenger? Deleting or blocking him on FB seems too spiteful. How can I do it without seeming spiteful and preferably not letting him know?

    My ex brokeup with me a month ago. It was a rocky relationship because he wasnt sure about us since his parents didnt approve. We still talked everyday for another month. And just like that he told me we shouldnt talk for a while. That we cant be. I have been crying every single day since. A lot! I havnt spoke to him in 21 days. I was his first g.f. he is 28! I am doing everything possible to move on but the crying doesnt stop and now im itching to text him. I havent heard from him. We were together for 5 months and 2 days before we stopped contact he was saying how much he loves me. Now i dont believe anything he said. How can i stop crying? Will texting him make me feel better? Im emotionally drained

    He tried to end things last week, but after we talked in person he told me he wanted to keep seeing me and that he saw a future with us but wanted to take it slow and take a step back. We had plans to meet up this week until he sent me a text message saying he was thinking about it and he isn’t in the right place and ended it completely. I tried to call him with no answer so I responded to his text that I care about him and I’m sorry things have to be like this. He didn’t reply and is not talking to me at all. Is there anything I can do to try and flip this around, or get some closure?

      HI Nellie,

      Start the nc rule… be active in improving yourself and be active in posting.. Your posts are your indirect way of showing that you’re moving on and not chasing..

    I did what the articles said, after 21 days of no contact, had a good first post nc conversation. After trying the second time after waiting a few days, he didn’t seem interested in the conversation, but continued it, and shortly stopped replying. What do I do now? I’m lost and confused

    Me and my ex broke up 3 months ago and it’s been a constant back and forth with each other. Neither one of us cheated he just felt like I was stressing him out and wanted space after I first broke up then he broke up with me . We went with no contact for 20 days he texted me for my birthday in between . And we finally saw each other last week . We were intimate but after all of it he said I know where this leads and I’m not ready for a relationship . I’ve used the digital romance maybe not down to a tee but I honestly don’t know what to do anymore. I just wanted him to chase me and it seems like I’m doing the chasing .

    Hi,
    I did all off you said in the all articles.I completed 21 days of NC. and I inittiated interesting text but no reply after 1 week I tried 2nd time a text ‘You wantto hear that thing I just saw’ but no reply again I was active on the social media and he saw all of them, but he dont wantto talk anymore it is clear. Any suggestion ? I miss him so much I try to keep myself to write a letter to him that future gonna be okay I changed etc. all of the things that I wantto say. I lost my hope can you help me?

      Hi Lis,

      what was the email add you used in your previous comments? Because there’s no other comment in this one. When you said you shared in Whats app, you mean you sent it to him personally? If yes, that’s the wrong way.. Restart nc, do at least 30 days, do public posts that doesn’t disappear in 24 hours in Facebook and Instagram.. It has to be indirect, so that you look like you’re moving on, and not just changing for him and making him see it.

    hey! so my ex recently just broke up with me and we have been together for 1 year and 7 months and i am barely going to try the NC because i have tried to talk to him as friends and i tried to talk to him but i know i cant force him to talk to me but i realized to let him have his space and mine as well but i seen that him and his ex recently added each other on instagram so i know there talkinig because before we had an arguement and she even gave him advice but like i feel like theyve been talking right now and so i was wondering what if he does not talk to me or hit me up after the 30 days do i just move on and take the advice that my friend sayed that she said if a man really wants you hell do anything to show and prove it. because if someone is friends with there ex they still have feelings for eachother i dont know what to think after the 30 days happen hopefully it works

    My ex bf and I broke up 4 months ago. We were together almost 2 years. It was a long distance relationship (he lives 4 hours away), but we have known each other for years. I had drove up to see him, and he told me he had to help his buddy. I wasnt feeling well so i stayed behind. After 5 hours of him being gone i text and he told me it would be a couple more hours. I got mad and drove back home. He was upset with me but still talking to me but i didnt like his tone. So i stopped comtacting him and waited for him to initiate. He never did so after a month i texted him and he responded. Over the phone he told me we could never be together again and he didn’t want to be in a relationship and have to answer to someone. He let me come see him again but was confusing me as one minute he was calling me baby and next minute telling me we are just friends. I backed off and stopped contacting. Then started texting again. We saw each other at a public place where friends were at. I started texting him on daily basis. He normally replies. Although sometimes he doesnt. Especially if I ask to see him. When i am in his presence his face lights up and he is warm to me. When not in his presence he keeps me at arms length and is cold towards me. How do I turn this around when he won’t let me come see him?

      HI Tracie,

      even if you didn’t for a month before, it’s not a no contact period if you weren’t active in improving yourself and in posting during and after it while slowly rebuilding rapport.. DO you want to try it?
