    In all honesty I don’t know what’s going on with me and my ‘boyfriend’ we met 3 months ago and were inseparable, we have absolutely everything in common and always joked that we were the male/female version of each other. He spent a lot of time at mine and met my kids and even my parents. He was the first one to say I Love You, and we even talked about him moving in later this year. Whenever he came over he said he felt like he was ‘home’ and was alway so excited to see me. We were planning a future together. We’ve both been married before, he only moved back to the UK 6 months ago after living abroad for 12 years with his ex wife. Two weeks ago he stopped talking and I didn’t hear from him for 2 days. He then called to say he was worried he won’t make me happy and was scared that I was going to start controlling him like his ex wife, then he said he didn’t know what to do and was worried it was starting to fail. I didn’t hear from him for a week, when he text to say sorry, he just didn’t know how to talk to me right now. He send about 15 messages just talking about random things, he was starting a new job the next day which i know he was worried about. I replied casually and got a couple of replies, he’s never mentioned anything to do with ‘us’… my last reply was two days ago which he read but hasn’t replied to. He’s struggling with the hours of his new job and his last message to me said ‘I’m also sick, and sulky!’ He’s not actually said we’re over, and his quietness is unlike him, he even apologised for it. Do I just give him space and leave him alone now and see if he comes back?

    Thanks Amor :). Hopefully these girls aren’t going to be serious with him especially as he’s still texting me and me not responding might make him try harder.

    This is my situation currently. My boyfriend of five months broke up with me a week ago, and I haven’t text him back or snapchatted him back for the past five days. He wants to stay friends and every night, around 1:30 AM he snapchats me or texts me jokes and pictures, but I don’t respond. I love him and desperately want him back. We broke up due to a build up of arguments and finally one pushed him over the edge. He swore I was “the one” and loved me dearly, but now it seems that is all gone and he is in constant hook ups with girls to “move on” from me. Is this situation hopeless? Should I just move on?

      Hi Sofia,

      That’s good that you’re not replying to him. Stick to nc.. Finish the process and be active in improving yourself and in posting in social media but do more of posts that just stays there and doesn’t disappear after 24 hours.

    This is my situation right now. I was seeing this guy long distance for 6 months (we met on holiday) we weren’t official & I was dating others and so was he (he’s a 32 commitment phobe/ player & never had a relationship). However we would talk every day and we saw each other 3 times in the space of 4 months. However a week ago he told me he was only dating a couple of girls and he was maybe going to get serious with one eventually. I asked whether it was because I was in a different country. He responded with something completely off topic. I didn’t respond & decided to go no contact. Two days later he sent me a funny pic, then a few days after that a funny recording and then yesterday two funny pics and then today he messaged about my funny profile pic of my cat. I wasn’t expecting to hear from him so soon since he said he wants to get serious with these girls. Do I continue no contact? Is it only because I’m not feeding his ego he’s messaging me?

      Hi Lauren,

      It’s because he’s used to talking to you and he probably expects you not to hold out on ignoring him.. Check this one:

    We had been together for a year and a half. Things seemed perfect! We have a baby on the way and at 7 months he told me he needed space… we were supposed to be getting married so of course I was so emotional, said things I didn’t mean, heart broken. Now he says he won’t get back with me after the things i said that he would never forget! We have been broken up for a month. I can go a week without talking to him, then we end up talking and I’ll end up super emotional all over again. I’m doing much better now & he is going to be training for a month with the army so it’ll be easier for no contact. Our baby is due in 6 weeks! Do you think theirs still a chance or have I ruined it. His family pretty much hates me now too. I literally did nothing bad toward him except be extremely emotion.

      Hi Erica,

      Frankly, your chances keep getting slimmer if you keep being emotional with him. It may be because your pregnant but that’s the truth is he doesn’t see it that way. If he’s tired of fighting with you or he sees you negatively, if you keep doing that, then it just makes him really believe that you’re not going to change.

    Hi,
    We were 4 years together, but we broke up 2,5 weeks ago. We still didn’t remove our relationship status on Facebook: I hide it from others, but it’s still visible to him (as I can hear from our best friend) and he didn’t hide it at all. I’m in no contact rule the whole time. I’m really hoping that we can come back together. I broke up with words, but actually he broke up first, but with completely ignoring me for a month, without saying what’s wrong and what he needs and wants with us. When he finally reached out, he told me that he still loves me, but he doesn’t feel any spark about me anymore… He said that he believes that our “love path can meet again” in the future. He wanted to stay friends, but I said that I can’t be just friend to him, maybe one day. He said that he hopes that “one day” will come as sooner as possible.
    1.) My question is, is it wrong if I just leave that status on? Will he miss me more/take me more serious, challenging if I delete our relationship status?
    2.) And should my first message after no contact be “I’m ready to be your friend” (even if I want much more…) or message where I bring one our memory I’ve “just bump” into, in a funny way?
    Thank you for existing!

      Hi Nina,

      It would be better to just leave the status on and don’t send that message. Don’t ask to be friends, act friendly.

    Last year I had cancer and I cured (so far, so good, at least) and I am trying to do my best to chase all the negative thoughts away. I just don’t seem to be able to do it alone anymore.

    I had a 3,5 months affair with a married man (I am single) and it has been an amazing connection, the kind true love has. I’m 37 years old and I’ve never felt this way about anybody. I never had this urge to be kind. It’s a very weird feeling, I can’t explain it. It seems that both of us feel the same way when we say that it’s the first time we have such a profound connection with someone, in all possible ways. We are perfect for each other.
    Well, we were, actually, since he suddenly broke it off. From what he told me, it seems that his wife sensed he was emotionally and physically drifting away, more than before (he has been cheating on her since forever, with her allowing it to happen, knowing about his one night stands and sex parties); he also told her about me in the beginning, then, when things started to feel so damn right, he started to hide it) and he needed to stop seeing me, in order to stop thinking about me and be more present at home (not physically, since we were seeing each other once a week or so) and sleeping with her again (he had stopped doing that too, I had no idea). The break-up took place on the phone (he wanted to meet in person, but I refused) – we spent 30 minutes telling each other how perfect we are for each other. He told me that he doesn’t know how can one continue living knowing that there is one person perfect for him. He seemed to be very confused. To me this came like a huge shock. We had just had a great evening together, we talked and laughed 6 hours out of 7, the next day he sent me a love song, the next one we talked about how my dog should know who’s the man around when he comes over, then, a couple of days later, he broke it off. More than words, I know how it felt when he was around, so sweet, so tender, so in love.

    Maybe it’s important to mention that his father was an alcoholic, aggressive and his mom killed herself. His wife, currently an HR professional, is studying psychology and often threatens him with divorce (for instance, she told him she would divorce him unless he goes in therapy for getting angry in traffic) and plays the guilt card (when he told her once that he misses his daughter as a baby, she told him he wouldn’t miss her if he’d been more present – although I understand that she must be very frustrated and unhappy, I resent manipulation).

    One more detail to mention is that he was very much in love when he was 19-20 years old, he got his heart broken, then started to see different women deciding not to care again (cliche, I know), among these women was his wife. It’s like he married his rebound. On our second date he told me he wants to fall in love, and that he has been wanting that for a long time.

    We are both 37, we have strong emotional intelligence, we are highly educated. He has been married for 18 years, he has a 11 year old daughter. His mom killed herself 6 years ago. During his marriage he had threesomes (so many, he couldn’t remember the number of girls he and his friend had sex with), attended swing parties and so on. He stopped everything when he met me, he told me everything, he told me his wife generally knows everything, he got into a huge fight with his threesome friend, because he wouldn’t go with him to “perform” anymore. During the break-up phone conversation, he told me that he decided he would take my advice and stop directing his energy in all these sex fiestas.

    I’m in love, I believe him, I felt loved like never before. Yet, here we are, 12 days of silence after all the things we told each other on the phone.

    Is he thinking about me, does he miss me, will he come back? I never put pressure on him, never asked him to leave his wife, I was perfectly happy with our weekly dates and was ready to go on like this. I know it’s difficult to understand, but when cancer gets to you and you think you might die, living in the moment starts to really make sense. I was happy with whatever moments I could get.

    I haven’t tried to contact him at all since we broke up.

    Thank you so much for your time!

      Hi M,

      I can’t say I understand because I don’t have cancer and I’m not here to judge but for me, you should move on from him, you’ve survived cancer, but he’s more like the cancer in your life than the real cancer you over came. Be with quality people that value you. You’re renewed use it make new connections. It doesn’t have to be romantic, start with making quality friendship in the circle of your passion.

    My ex and I have been on and off for two years. We love each other but we’ve always argued. Everytime he wants to get back with me I am sweet to him and take him back, this time we didn’t talk for a month and he texted me again wishing me well so I replied but took my time. Now he’s texting me good mornings, should I reply or wait a bit again to reply?

    We have been in a relationship for 6 years, and last month July, he proposed. So we are engaged to be married in three weeks. It’s a long distance relationship and we haven’t seen in the last 9 months. He is coming down for the wedding and i am doing most of the planning. Truth is that i have been stressed and very sensitive lately. He picked on it and texted to say that he’s struggling to adjust mentally and emotionally in the relationship and that i have been rude and insulting on some occasions. He says it seems I won’t make him happier than he already is and that he’s not ready for it. He asks that I don’t call because he needs time to think. I texted him back saying that i admit that I have been sensitive lately and it’s because of the stress of planning the wedding. I apologized and then said that I respect his decision to have some time to think.

    We have already sent out IVs and wedding plans are ongoing.
    I love him and can’t think of living without him.

    Is it really over?

      That’s probably out of emotions and his way to take back his power.. Yes, you should go to the wedding.. Don’t miss it just because of him

    Sorry, I’m not sure where you are, so I’ll assume mid year last year? If yes, that’s so long ago..so, at least now that you are in limited contact, focus in establishing your new routine and having your own life while co parenting with him.. He has to think you’re moving on, not chasing and improving..

    Hi

    My partner and I broke up 5 weeks ago after our 2.5 year relationship, I was dumped by him just before Christmas. 2 months before that he told me he wasn’t sure about how things were going in our relationship and then we both agreed we would try again. This is also he’s first relationship, I’m 39 and he’s 28.

    We never really spoke any our problems and just carried on as normal, our relationship wasn’t toxic nor did we argue that much. He went away to Istanbul (he’s Turkish) and I was supposed to be going with him for the holidays, because of the breakup I didn’t attend the holiday with him.

    Whilst he was away I reached out a few times but he was telling me that he was trying to have fun with family and friends, so from this I stopped contacting him as much.

    He reached out to me on my birthday on NYD, to wish me hb, I just replied ‘thank you’. He returned 2 weeks ago back to london where we both share an apartment together. We spoke a few times since he came back, but he’s still in the mind set that he doesn’t want our relationship to continue and that we are both different (maybe culturally as I’m britsh and he’s Turkish).

    He has recently been working away for his company during the weeks and comes back at the weekends, recently I have decided to move out, I have told him his but I explained it will be in 2 weeks time, I’m actually leave today and he will return Friday (to an empty apartment). The last time we spoke was last Sunday (in person), we haven’t communicated since.

    Do I apply the no contact rule since last Sunday, he will obviously be txting me to ask about where I have gone, and about our bills etc (all of which I will be paying to the end of feb 2018). I’m confused as I won’t be saying goodbye to him, and I don’t want to come across me leaving to be playing games, but I really don’t want to contact during this time.

    What shall I do???

      January 20, 2018 at 1:34 am

      Hi Russel,

      Yes, you can start the nc from Sunday. It’s ok to talk to him about necessary stuff like bills as long as it’s only about that.

    My ex broke up with me exactly 2 weeks ago,today! We were having a heated argument(mainly bc i love to argue) i screamed at him several times sayimg “just leave” finally he said okay amd packed up EVERYTHING and has been staying at his mothers since! Approximately 2 weeks prior the breakup we did have a long talk about how he was not happy with me anymore but he still loved me! We havent slept together, well we did once in the last 3 months….. Anyways, i want to start the NC asap(well i have today is day 1) but im a little confused on how too considering we have kids and he gets them i guess every other weekend, also we have unpaid bills that he is going to help .me catch up on! Any advice on how i can do NC when we have a lot of obstacles that we have to take care of? What if i use my older son to be the middle man? I hate to do that but i kinda dont know what else to do! Oh yeah, one more thing before i came across this page i made a HUGE MISTAKE and basically begged him to come home? How long of a NC period should i use? Thanks…. Good luck to all on getting him/her back!

    Hi,
    My ex broke up with me a couple of years ago. We have kids together and kept on living together for the first 5 months or so before we told the kids and he moved out.

    Some months later, he lost his job and moved abroad for work. Since the split, we have kept on being in touch, gone on holidays together with the kids and get on quite well. I was very upset for a long while, and probably did all the wrong things, but feel much calmer lately and in a good space.

    I have told him I would like us to be together again, but he seems scared and hesitant, and has been seeing someone the last 1,5 years. He has also introduced his girlfriend to our kids and they have spent time with her and her kids when visiting their dad abroad.

    I lead a busy life, work full time and look after myself physically. For more than a week I have not sent or replied to any texts or mails from him, he has kept sending me new ones. I also did not contact him on his birthday, which made him angry.

    My question is whether you think time is running out? I am happy with my life, but would love us to be together as a family. But not unless he also wants to, of course. And living in different countries makes it complicated.

    Hello,

    My ex and I have broken up before. We were together for over a year and split for 5 months. We got back together but didn’t really discuss what went wrong. He suffers from depression but is not willing admit it, instead he just assumed I was the issue. The second time around we were together for another 6 months. He ended things again saying it was because he hasn’t felt quite the same but I believe it’s his mental health. It’s been a month since. We work together so I can’t cut contact altogether but we are civil and professional.

    When we broke up this time I didn’t beg, I just walked away. He tried to be more chatty with me but I would cut it down as suggested in no contact. Between Christmas and New Year, I was away for two weeks and halfway through he text checking I was doing well and enjoying the holidays. I text back hours later saying I was well.

    A girl who used to tell me she was better for him than me and that I meant nothing and she would end up with him (they weren’t together, she was just stalking him a lot) kept appearing on my social media and adding all of my friends. I messaged (I know I shouldn’t) to ask him that if he was seeing someone new that information came from him. He didn’t reply. Back at work he told me that message hurt him and that he had been told I was asking loads of questions about him (I wasn’t). I was hurt he thought I would do that, it isn’t me at all! The two of us spoke about that but not about us and we both cried a lot. He asked for a hug and I said no. He asks for a hug a lot and I always refuse. We then continued the conversation outside of work and he asked for a hug and I caved and gave him one but he didn’t let go and gave me a kiss on the head, which I told him was a little cruel to me. He apologised. We have been civil since but had no more contact.

    If it gets close to us talking about us he shuts down and leaves. I never push it. My anger and upset at him assuming things about me made me think I was over it but that has since gone. I don’t know what else to do. I get the impression he has no feelings for me at all, but I don’t know if it’s true.

    Okay so my boyfriend broke up with me 2 weeks back and it wasn’t that bad and then later I got know that he left me because I used to crib a lot that he didn’t have time for me.(we’ve broken up in the past also for the same reason but somehow got back ) and then last week we had a fight and it was his fault after which I decided to do the no contact rule. And he’s been constantly calling and texting and asking to forgive him and wanting to meet. Also his friends were telling me that it doesn’t look like he wants to get back. But how can it be true when he’s calling me so much and he also texted saying that I’ve got a gift for you that I’ve been wanting to give you for a long time.and since I’m ignoring him he’s even ready to give it to my friend to give it to me. I’m very much positive and stable right now. So should I continue my nc or should I start talking to him in a few days? Also I’ve been posting a lot of pictures on social media lately which I’m guessing has made him believe that I’m very happy. I’ve also got a makeover recently. Please tell me what to do

      Hi Sarah,

      That’s good that you’re actively improving yourself. You can do 21 days.. if he literally says he wants to get back together, you can break it.

    Hi,

    My exboyfriend broke up with me 11 days ago, and i went into nc 7 days ago. We have been together for 2,5 years. The thing is that I belive some of the reason he broke up with me was bc he felt I didnt spend enough time with him (I work a lot) , that I proritized friends and other stuff over him, and that I didnt tell him i loved him enough, Even tough we talked about the fact that we show love in different ways, and I love him extremly much. Therefore I’m afraid that the nc will show him what he believed was true, that I dont give him enough attention? When I post stuff on social media “being busy”, I’m afraid that it will confirm his thoughts about me rather wanting to do that, than being with him. How can I show him i changed after the nc without coming of as desperate to show him I really love him? But still being “cool” and “not wanting him back” when that was a part of the problem?

      Hi Lisa,

      If that’s really the reason, why not talk to him about first? Ask him if that’s really the reason, if he says, talk to him if you could work it out. If he says no, then start nc…

    Tara did 30 days of NC with the ex she was living with? Is that because she had to restart a few times or because she got some negative responses when she reached out and had to add some time? I’m in the same living situation, and one of the other articles here recommended 14 days. Any advice is great advice!

      Hi Cather,

      Because of both..In your situation, tell him you need space from him.. If you’re moving back home and you’re still in nc, that means it would be limited nc..
