how often should you be texting your ex? Once every week or so? Or is that something i should be gauging on my own?

You want to start off slow and slowly pick up the pace until eventually you are speakign every day.
Now, everyone is diferent so in my opinion you have to gauge this yourself a bit.

I actually broke up with my boyfriend six months ago, not him breaking up with me. Our relationship had been on and off for almost two years anyway. I sent him a goodbye email on my decision to move on. He didn’t contact me for two months and then he text me. I was ignoring him, or being short and cold. He text me again and said he miss me a month later. I was short again and asked what he want. He asked me can we be friends. I kept silence. Another 2 months passed by, just went I thought I finally getting over him some what (I still miss him, he was still the first one I think about in the morning, and before I go to bed). He text me said he is thinking about me and asked me how’s life. I was actually quite angry at him at that moment because he didn’t ‘address the issues’ so to speak. He doesn’t and cannot give more, he didn’t give any feedback on my goodbye email, I just have had enough for asking myself ‘what does he really want from me?’. That if he cares pick up the damn phone. So I was very short, and that’s it. It’s been a month and he hasn’t text me.
I miss him, although I know there’s not going to be a future for us. I do want to keep him as friends, but I think it is too late, isn’t it?

Hi there. Interesting case for you,
I just was dumped by my boyfriend of almost 2 years a couple days ago. The reason for breaking up was because i am “irrational”. He and I had plans to be together that night and when he said he made other plans for the later part of the evening with his friends, I began to nag. I brought out the dirty laundry of similar occurances in the past and thats when he said he’d had enough.
We were often arguing. I was in need of attention and he was in need of space to do as he pleased. It was not a healthy relationship and perhaps we are better off moving on, but it bothers me that this was the singular, yet reoccurring issue we had. We never wronged each other in any major ways. We just always argued about time together and eventually started to argue about how much we argued.
We broke up and got back together many times over the past year. I somehow would convince him that if we wanted to make it work we could do that by being more considerate of each others needs. But unfortunately nothing changed, at least not longer than a week. The last time we got back together he said if we broke up again it would be the last time. And at some point I mentioned that I didn’t want to be in the relationship “because” I convinced him to be back with me. I wanted him out of his free will. I told him if he is serious about breaking up with me ever it would be best to completely shut me out, block me, etc., because I will always try to get him back.
Well this time I got what I asked for because he would not talk to me after the break up like he typically has done. For a solid 12 hours I tried texting and calling and didn’t get a response until this evening. He responded to a text I sent prior to finding your site that said I’d be calling him at 7pm tonight to make peace with him whether its for our future or for closure. He responded by saying that I could talk tomorrow night because he had a long day at work and felt crappy.
Now that you have a synopsis of the situation.. Even though I am afraid to call him from fear of being rejected and hurt more than I already am, Is there anything I can say tomorrow that will help me not only make him see that I do want to build a healthy relationship and I honestly don’t know why I haven’t been able to change? Because its not for lack of loving him. I do think he is worth the effort for me to better myself,but at the same time I want him to be in mutual agreement. I’d like for him to want to better himself as a friend to me and not just as a friend to his guys. It is a relationship and I feel that there does need to be a bit of a higher level of commitment to a loved one in comparison to buddies. We are only 23 and I know there is plenty of time ahead of us to move on, but I don’t want to lose him. When we aren’t arguing, I feel thankful to have him.

Ok, what exactly is the dirty laundry that you brought up?
Cait
November 26, 2014 at 4:14 pm
It’s maybe moderately soiled laundry. But I brought up the last couple instances where he said we’d be seeing each other and then took it back. I was going on a b**ch rant and in the middle of it he professed he was done and wanted to break up.
We did end up speaking last night. He opened the conversation by saying that his feelibg are still there and that he has missed me. I was able to explain my frustrations and I told him that I see now how I got carried away. I knew that it was human for me to be annoyed, but it was unnecessary for me to turn it into an argument. He said he just wanted me to call him a jerk and have that be the end of it, which I do understand. I even explained that I was able to see how I was being clingy and needy (when I feel him pulling away I react emotionally and I want to resolve our issues immediately). He also said that he didn’t want us to break up and that he doesn’t like threatening to break up when we fight, but its been going on for so long now. And he also said he doesn’t want to keep saying that the next time a breakup happens will be that last. All of which I understand and happen to agree with despite how much it hurts my heart and even my pride a little.
So the conversation did seem hopeful until I asked where we stand, and he said that we are broken up. He said that he hasn’t had the chance to remove himself from the situation or really miss me yet (which sort of contradicted what he said at the start of the conversation). That last part kind of hurt to hear and demolished some of the hope I had.
I’m not sure whether to feel hopeful while I embark on the “no contact” or to feel discouraged because there is the chance that he won’t miss me enough to want another chance :/

I would say feel hopeful because it raises the chances of him missing you exponentially.

Chris, despite following every single step, I’m finally at a point where my ex-boyfriend is considering a reconcililation but has left things as “we’ll see” and hasn’t contacted me as much as before. It’s so strange, because there was build up, romance, and we even kissed and talked about how great it was to be around each other. When I finally asked him if he was looking to patch things up, he got nervous and said he had been thinking about it but was worried about another break up. How do I take it from here? I feel like I’m waiting around.

My boyfriend of 6 months left suddenly after I accepted him into my home while he found a place of his own, He moved here from out of state (we were maintaining a long-distance relationship) once he found a job here. After less than a week of him living here, when I asked him for help around the house (completely non-nagging, and quite kindly asked him), he left and said simply that he thought I was here to “help him” since he left his previous “life” for me (which included a live-in ex girlfriend and two kids).
He has now turned the entire situation back onto me. He admits no wrongdoing and said I should have helped him while he stayed with me (laundry, cooking, expenses, etc). I work full time and am a single mom. At 44 I’m thinking he should be capable of a partnership.
Fast forward 3 weeks and I miss him terribly. I did reach out to him during the first 2 weeks and received less than ideal responses – cold, distant, angry. I decided to try the NC and in a mere 3 days, he has now started to message me. Do I continue the NC? I don’t know what he intent is and I don’t want to be hurt again since I’m still hurting from the original breakup. But, I’ve not ever felt this way about someone and at 44, this has been my most difficult breakup.
Looking for guidance. Thank you.

My bf broke up with me a week ago Sunday after a long time where we were in ‘limbo’ (we had dated for 1.5 years and had been rocky since July this year). We tried to take breaks but they were never longer than a week. This time we broke up, no ‘break’ in our relationship. No limbo. I am struggling with NC but haven’t reached out to him since Sunday and since he ended it. I unfriended him on FB because that is what he wanted (and I tend to check if he is online anyway, so to keep NC it is easier for me not having him on FB. He is not very active on social media posting but rather only uses it to keep in touch with friends here and where he’s lived before.
I’ve been keeping busy, even went on one date (but I don’t feel like dating so it felt strange). It is still very difficult.
So even after we’ve had several hick-ups in our relationship and him breaking all ties with me for now, is there a chance that we can reconcile after the NC period? I like this guy, and I know he still likes me, but he doesn’t love me like he used to (the honeymoon phase ended). I am his longest relationship in 9 years and we used to talk about everything every day. I miss this, and I often wonder if he does too.

After 33 days of no contact, I texted my bf via whatsapp. He answered me, and we had a short conversation but it was good, he told me he was studying,and asked a few things about me. 4 days after that first contact, I talked to him again and this time he was colder, he just answered what I asked, but didn’t ask about me, and he ended the conversation by saying he was going for dinner, and we would talk later. He didn´t talk to me again.
I want some advice: how long should I wait to contact him again?

Thank you! Chris I contacted him again and we had a longer conversation, and he asked things about me like the first talk. It has been 3 days since that conversation and we didn’t talk.
Should I contact him again? Or wait until he makes the first contact this time?

I was dating a guy & we broke up and during the time we weren’t together one of his good friends one night pushed himself on me after I gave him a ride home it was the worst thing I ever experienced needless to say it didn’t go far & I got out of there as fast as I could. I was really scared & didn’t say a word to anyone we started talking again & his friend told him we slept together. He asked me about it & I denied anything happened at all because I was worried he wouldn’t believe me about what really happened. We started dating again & in that time I saw pictures of naked girls on his phone he said it was old & i let it go & believed him then the topic of his friend & me got brought up again the other night & I finally tried to tell him what really happened & he wouldn’t listen he just said I was a liar & cheat we had all been drinking & I said I would go but he said no so I stayed & we slept together & as soon as we were done he left his room & my girlfriend was on the couch I found out they hooked up & he was really rude to me about it saying how were even now. I have ditched my so called good girlfriend & am contemplating on what to do about him. I know I hurt him by lying & not telling him what happened right off the get go but should I even waste my time trying to fix this relationship or is it ruined for good?!

Hey there, looking for a bit of insight into how to proceed with my old flame.
We met at a festival, and totally hit it off. We spent the entire weekend together, and exchanged contact info to meet up again once we were back in our hometowns (<20mins away from each other). We went on a lot of fun, planned dates, dinner, a ball game, hikes, etc, and spent a decent amount of low-key, movie watching, cuddling and talking time. Over the month following the festival, things couldn't have been going any better. He met my parents, I met his friends (I'm the first girl to do so in a long, long time), and we totally clicked.
About five weeks in he started to get a little distant. This was only apparent when we were not together, as things were 100% normal when we did see each other over that last week we were "dating". During that week I didn't hear from him for two days (we had talked every day at some point, so this was out of character). When I finally asked what was going on, he stated he had way too many things going on in his life at the moment, and that he wasn't able to give 100% to a relationship, which is what I deserve. He badly injured his shoulder, and is expected to have surgery in the coming weeks. This injury may have affected his chances of being employed as a firefighter, which is his dream. He had to withdraw an application that had been accepted at a fireball due to the injury. He is working long hours, often 10-12 hr days, 6-7 days a week managing a store. He had a legal matter to deal with (which has since been resolved). He explained to me that although he really liked me, he "needed to get his shit together". Our conversation ended with me expressing that once he figures out his stuff, if he wants to try things out again, to let me know, and his response was that i would "be the first to know" when that happens. He said I hadnt done anything wrong, and that he really likes me, really enjoys spending time with me, that he loved our dates, and that his family would have loved me. He said it wasn't a case of him losing any feelings for me, or that he just wasn't into it, it was just bad timing. Overall, the conversation seemed incredibly genuine, and he hasn't given me any reason not to trust what he is telling me. Two weeks later his best friend had told someone else the exact same reasonings my guy said to me, when they asked what hadhappened to my guy and myself, so I am thinking that this is a good sign??
My question is, what the heck do I do? I am totally fine with giving him the space he needs to deal with his current situations, but I don't want to wait around/I do want to wait for him. How do I know he was being genuine? I am struggling following this NC idea — does this still apply to my situation?? Please help!!

He started to like a few of my quotey posts on Facebook, about two weeks post split. He then messaged me one night after liking a post, to tell me he enjoyed what I had put up. I responded with a simple, “i liked it too :). About a week later, he liked another post, this time it was a relationshippy one. I sent him a text saying I found it interesting that he had liked it, and asked how he was. Naturally he played dumb, asking why I thought it was interesting, when he very well knew why!!! I told him to never mind, that I hoped he was doing well, and that I was going to hide under a rock! He replied with “Don’t do that. I do miss you that was never an issue and it sucks i’m just a moron”….. I asked why he thought he was a moron, he basically said because he doesn’t know how to deal with his crap.” Since then we haven’t talked… do I need to reinstate a NC type of thing? Do you think he will come around?

Personally I’d say leave “relationship” talk out of it for now and just talk about whatever. I know I pushed my ex too hard by pushing him and putting pressure on him when he felt uncertain. It caused us to drift further and further apart until he broke it off completely.
I think him liking your FB stuff again is a sign that he’s paying attention to it. Don’t overthink what exactly he is liking and don’t monitor him liking it (i.e. don’t point out you noticed he liked it).
He might come around if you give him his space.

I was needy and clingy and I begged and pleaded with him to show me affection the entire time we were together. He warned me to back off, which scared me and caused me to be that much more needy.I know I should have gave him space, but now I don’t know what to do. He’s not the jealous type and I’m afraid if I don’t do something soon, he will move on and find someone else. Is there any way I can reverse the damage I have done, or should I just give up?

Hi Chris,
My ex texted me after NC is up asking me to return his books that he don’t rly use. Then few days later he texted me twice but we didn’t really conversate I just play it cool back since he was also been cold to me. A few days later after i texted him and something else happened – he was warm, friendly, flirty if I’m not misreading – a change from his cold responses. We texted for 3-4hours. Now its been 3 days since that warm chat. Why do you think this is? Is he still not sure abt us, doesnt wanna seem desperate or plainly friendzoning me? What should I do.. I’m lost 🙁 Thanks!

My ex and I have been broken up for a year. I’m 30 and he’s 26. I got pregnant during our shaky times and had moved to another city. I was accused of cheating because I was talking to my other exes as well as a guy friend. He later told me he had looked through my phone and saw where I was talking to other guys inappropriately. He also told me he cheated on me with 3 other women because he thought I had. Which I actually hadn’t. Well physically at least. Fast forward some, he ignored me a lot, we couldn’t stopped arguing, he wasn’t helping with the preparation of our child and I would say things in spite to try and force him to care. Finally we reached the breaking point and we never wanted to speak to each other again. Fast forward 3 months, I called him. I lost the baby due to stress and other factors. He actually answered and we caught up and the bad blood seemed to had disappeared. I had also loaned him money to fix a tire because he didn’t have it. Things were fine. We both agreed that we didn’t want relationships with each other, he had moved on to just hanging out with other women and so did I. Until I actually came to visit. We slept together and at the time he had other friends he slept with as did I, jealousy reared his ugly head for both of us. I became controlling because I didn’t want him to like anyone else or anyone else dating him and he was upset at the fact at I didn’t consider him #1. Push come to shove he ignored me on purpose, said he did as a matter fact, he already was bad at communication. That I shouldn’t have the sort of expectations of him like I did. A couple of days after I left he said that I had no clue what he had been through in the last 48 hours after I lashed out at him. When I asked what happened he said that it wasn’t of my concern because it was obvious I didn’t care about him. He didn’t want my help because he was a man and could do it by himself. I said all I could including threatening until he said he never wanted to speak to me again or deal with me because I was psycho, obsessed and to leave him alone. He even said he would get a restraining order. His last words included “Stalker…smh, obsessed with nothing cause I ain’t shit. You’re no good for me, I don’t care if I never get into a relationship anyone else for the rest of my life. I texted and called repeatedly and still no response. Waited out 30 days and finally texted him something simple, he replied with who is this, I said it was me and no response. I still love him and everyone who I have tried to date and he still rings in my ear. When we lived together we seldom fought as well as anytime we’re around each other. My friends and family think I’m crazy for wanting someone who most would say is below my standards. But I don’t know what to do from here. What happens now?

Hi there,
I was wondering if you could give me some insight into my break up situation. My boyfriend broke up with me about a week ago. I have known him for 3 years. When I met him three years ago, we were basically hooking up and just about to head back to college (we go to diff colleges) and he started to play the disappearing act. We were never official at this point, but one day after visiting me at school, he texted me saying he tried to make a relationship with me but he couldn’t and he hoped we could still be friends. I was upset and I told him that we could not be friends because I still liked him as more than a friend. After that happened, I stopped contacting him altogether, and even started dating someone new. Then, two months later Tony texted me on Valentine’s Day to wish me a happy Valentine’s Day. I was shocked but I was with someone else so I just acted casually. A few months down the road, I broke up with my boyfriend at the time and Tony and I started hanging out/hooking up again. He was always flaky though, cancelling plans last minute or not texting at all to cancel. During this time, I met a new guy named Ryan at school. We totally hit it off and I could see myself dating him. Of course, when this happens Tony contacts me out of the blue saying how he was so stupid in the past, he was scared of a relationship, and how he is serious about me, really likes me, and wants a relationship. I was obviously hesitant to believe him since he had bailed on us before. But he ended up convincing me to choose him over Ryan. This was February of this year. We spent spring break together, and all of summer. We had so much fun together and rarely argued. I met his family and his friends, and things were great between us. Then we left for school in August, and I visited him at his school a week ago for 5 days. We barely left his apartment, which he had to himself, and I was so tired and bored of watching tv inside all day I thought I was losing my mind. The only time we left the house was because I basically forced him to come to the bars with me one night because I couldn’t stand being inside watching movies anymore. The night went well, but the next day Tony was very distant, not really talking at all, and he even refused to sit on the couch next to me or run to the grocery store with me. I was hurt and confused when he wouldn’t even kiss me or anything, so you could say I was ready to leave as much as he wanted me to leave. Shortly after I got home, Tony texted me saying “sooo after this weekend I think we both have nothing in common” and insisted he didn’t see us dating anymore because we are too different blah blah. We exchanged maybe 12 texts altogether and I stopped responding and cut off all contact with him after saying “what’s over is over I think its best as well.” Personally, I feel like we just weren’t used to spending that much time with one another. Do you think my situation can even be repaired, or do you think he is already checked out?
Thank you so much!

after the first initial text to me ex there wasn’t much of a conversation. i am still planning on sending a second text to establish more of a conversation with him and see what happens/where it all goes. but now a new guy started texting me but i’ve been getting red flags from him and i am just not ready for anything right now. he’s already mentioned ‘future family’ and sending me heart icons and wink faces, i get that they’re all playful and harmless but i am still just not ready for this. this seems weird to ask but i wanted to see if you had advice on what to do. how do i stop talking to him/stop anything from happening to early?

i broke up with my boyfriend about a week ago. it started when her accused me of still being into another guy even though i proved to him that we were just friends. i thought we were okay until her randomly texted me saying that i didnt do enough for him and that he was tempted by other girls. it was really stupid and he was being a huge douche so i broke up with him.. no more than 5 minutes later he poured his heart out in paragraphs saying that he was crying and stuff like that, so i gave in and gave him a second chance….THE NEXT DAY he hooked up with another girl and i found out because our mutual friend sent me a video of it. i completely lashed out at him and said some pretty harsh things.. i was upset! anyway, the other day he was face-timing me and my friend and i kinda fell for him again:/ although i didnt say anything. well, by 5:30 in the morning i told him i still loved him and i wanted to see him. so the next day we met up with a bunch of friends and everyone was talking about us hooking up and such and i wanted to as well and he said he did too. it didnt end up happening and i was really upset. we talk often and he always asks me how it is possible that i still love him.. and he makes up excuses that i hate him and stuff but deep down i feel like hes just saying that because he doesnt like me and he wants me to admit it first or something. i really want to get back together but all my friends tell me it would be a mistake… did i mention we have been on and off for 2 years… well ya… now i dont know what to do:( i feel so trapped.

I should add, I told him I wanted to go our separate ways (citing it was too hard and the non-committal/sex situation was upsetting me) before I did the recent NC – so he thought I didn’t want to hear from him and wanted to move on:
3. Do I address this or ignore it? I obvs don’t want to say ‘i want to be FRIENDS’! ?

I really would appreciate some help. I have known my bf for three months. We got past the “L” word and were serious. However, we are 5 years apart. At first, this never mattered to us, it was really true love. We were such a cute match and everybody said so. I will not lie that our relationship was a curious one. He lived in another city, about 20 min. away. We are both very busy so we hardly saw each other ever at all during that three months. In fact, we the last time we saw each other was in June. It was over the phone that he asked me if I loved him and so forth. We never had any reason to doubt each other, we constantly assured one another we missed each other. We texted nearly every day (sometimes there was a quiet spell, things would get really busy) and chatted on phone. Last night, I was on the phone with him. He has an accent, and i misunderstood what he was saying and was laughing. He hung up om me and then I texted him asking what happened to the phone connection. Basically, it all came out that i was so young for him, and couldn’t understand the gravity of such a relationship and then he said i was never going to hear his voice again and i said fine, he could whatever he wanted. This was all via text. Maybe he had a really stressful day. I want to know if this is considered a breakup or just a little fight that will cure up within a few days. Should I do the one month silence spell? Please, I need an answer. I still feel for him and want him, regardless of what I said last night. I don’t want to lose him, and I know we are made for each other and things can work out out. I don’t believe age has any prevalence in love.

I think the issue is the fact that you didn’t see each other that much.

yes, i know. it’s so hard to see each other though. how can we patch this up and get back together? He is French, so if you’ve ever met a french person, you will know what i mean

Not completely. But you guessed it. It’s just a characteristic for all french guys to have a slight ego! So, yes, they can appear stubborn, especially when you ask them to change a habit or something they like doing. They hate change.

Update:
It’s all patched up! I followed my gut instinct which was to write an email, explaining how I felt and my views on everything.( without begging him to come back, of course!) In fact, I left that out entirely. I didn’t mention me wanting him,or missing him. Just how I felt, what caused this, and that if he wanted to end this for good, I would respect his decision. And it worked. We’re back together and promised each other to not let this happen again.
Something I notice is that French guys like frankness, they don’t like cat/mouse games. They’re very open.
Thanks, Chris. You have an amazing site, I love it and will refer any of my friends who are having problems w/t their relationships to you! I really learned a lot just from reading your articles 🙂
