    Okay, so I am one of those who needs your help directly.

    I was together with my ex for about 5-6 months and I loved him with a knowing that he wasn’t perfect or free of any bad characteristics. I’d get annoyed with him sometimes, but I loved him so much.
    He used to date a girl from my high school class, and they broke up half a year before he made a move on me. 14 days before he made said move he told me they had been together, that he still loved her and that she was the most amazing creature to ever have walked the Earth. Yeah, ouch. Needless to say this has been on my mind A LOT during our relationship. When I – after he properly asked me to become his girlfriend – asked him about this, he said that he wouldn’t deny it, but the past was the past and in time his feelings for me would be the only ones left. Some months later he’d take to tell me things like “I love you like I’ve never loved anyone before” and “I want you, you, YOU and only you” – and without me having made any implementions of my jealousy or forced him to it.
    However, he avoided the topic since that one time, but I could not forget it. I mean, how easy was it for me to feel like a replacement? Very. But since he always would avoid the question or get angry, I kept it inside. This resulted in me sometimes getting “irrationally” sad or rejecting his touch, which he hated. I never manned up enough to tell him what was on my mind and how I honestly deeply did not believe that he loved me. And three weeks ago he ended it, saying he did not have any more love to give and that he needed to find himself.
    When I was happy – which was the majority of the tlme – I was very happy. We fooled around, laughed, went to concerts and operas together, and I always focused on giving him my best to balance out my worst. I was never clingy at parties – in fact I stayed away and let him talk to his friends while I talked to mine. I hated it when he left me to go home, and it was clear to him. During the break up he told me he’d feel obliged to be there for me, aka always texting me, but I never told him any of that overly attached crap you’d hear on the internet. I was quite the martyr, now that I look closely at myself.
    When he came to pick up his things a week after the break up (during which I cried and smashed my cups) we talked like good friends, and he held me. He looked at me with so much love and when I told him I still loved him, he held my face tightly and told me that he also loved me deeply. He’d hold me a couple more times tightly and say my name into my hair. We endef up kissing a lot, but I resisted sex because a friend of mine was waiting outside in case I needed the support. I wanted to, and so did he, but we never did anything but kiss.
    I have kept the NC rule for 17 days. I’ve been stalking his Facebook profile though. I plan on extending it until university starts again and I can’t avoid him any more, but I’m also so anxious that if I do that, he’ll forget me and move on.

    I don’t know if I should move on or try to get him back. For the last week I’ve felt awful each day, despite having a social date with a friend every single day since the break up. I don’t know my chances. So I’m hoping for even a short voice of reason-reply, because I don’t know what to do of myself, and I’m sick of crying.

      Oh, your one of those…..

      No, I am just kidding, just kidding!

      I think you should try everything before you give up. What are you doing during NC to evolve?

      Thank you so much for taking your time to reply.

      I’ve picked up sewing to distract myself, and when I’m visiting my hometown, I go roller skating. I do my best to go out and get sunlight every day, and I’m – as I wrote – being social with my friends despite being an introvert to my core. I also reflect a lot on the relationship and where I went wrong and how I could better it if I had the chance, although that typically leads to me bawling my eyes out and listening to Adele.

      But I also fight with self-injury that started 8 years, and that’s difficult to abstain from during this period.

      Adele, I like the skyfall song and the rolling in the deep one haha.

      How about excerising? That is an amazing way to feel great about yourself.

    I find your article very informative. I was in a realationship with my ex for 4 years, and lived together for 3, at first his reason for the break up was that he was feeling emotionaless, because of his family situation and that he had to move back to his Dad to try and sort it out, I let him go purely because I respected his feelings and because I wanted him to get things sorted, then a week later he just told me his feelings for me disappeared, but still cares alot about me and we broke off, that was about 3 weeks ago,I also found out that he is seeing a lady that works with him. I didnt make contact with him and sent me an email saying that he can’t stop thinking about me and that he is very worried, I responded saying I’m well as I didnt want to let me know how I was really feeling. it’s been 5 days now that I haven’t had any contact with him. I just feel so hopeless at the moment becaue we were always happy until about a month ago…

      Hi Petula,

      I am sorry you feel hopeless.

      Do you think doing the stuff in this article will help?

    2. Petula

      July 31, 2013 at 7:53 am

      I’m sure it will help, I just need to give myself time, because I know that he could not have just lost all his feelings he had for me, we had a good relationship, we were happy most of the time and hardly ever had any arguments, we regularly spoke about everything. I’m just having a hard time dealing with it.

    I have a question: should I believe him, if he said he blocked my number, because I want to text him and it has been a month since we last spoke and he moved away to South Carolina, I still want to talk to him and have him in my life, what should I do?

    1. admin

    Thank you for your great advice. This really helped me cheer up.
    I was in a very serious relationship with my bf for 4years and he recently told me that we have to look away from each other because he is very interested in a girl and he has to explore it. We were already on a break when he told me this but i didn’t think he would really try to end our relationship. He currently lives in California (very busy going to a med school) and I am a singer based in new york. We have been on long distance for 2 years and never had trouble with it until his last visit in may. He was here for a week but during that time, I had to be out of town for concerts and only got to see him for 3 days. I live with my parents and my bf was always so close with them but this time, we all got in to a argument (because Its important time of my career and my parents thought he was in my way & might have said hurtful things to him) I was crying during his whole visit because of that and we decided to go on a break. We promised to each other that we will work very hard for now and when the right time comes, we will get married. I think I hurt his feelings too much that he really needed some space. He said that he really felt uncomfortable and uneasy feeling during his last visit and we had more arguments through text messages after he went back and he couldn’t concentrate well on his work. We were still talking during our “break” and even after he started dating his new gf, he texted me like “you are really the sweetest girl on earth” and since he is my first bf he thought I should be happy and explore as well. I started my NC rule three days ago when I first visited this page but my last messages were about our great memories and how I’m very happy to have met him and still hope to one day be with him again. I even told him that I appreciate his new gf for taking care of him during the time I can’t see him and apologized for hurting his feelings so deeply.
    My last text , I told him that his friend asked about us (since he took off our pic on fb) so I had to tell his friend and it made me really sad and I asked him to come back. Right after that I started googling what I can do and found this page so I remained silence and he texted me yesterday to let me know that he is studying for his test for tomorrow and to ask how I’m doing. I of course ignored it but I really don’t know if he will ever change his mind. He always make a decision and never really changes it. He told me he really always have huge respect for me and will always help me out but he can’t imagine romantic future with me anymore. He is always nice so I don’t know how I can check how he is after 30 days.
    I’m very sorry to take so much of your time.
    Thank you so much for your great help!!

      Why couldn’t you just text him after 30 days?

    Tomorrow is day 30 of no contact and I’m not sure what to do. He dumped me and I think he is in a rebound relationship. He didn’t give me a reason why he dumped me… Just used the ‘its not you, it’s me’ line…. He’s not tried to contact me but I know he really loved me. We were so happy together until the day before he walked out on me. What made it worse was that he has a daughter and she lived with us. She absolutely loved me. I’ve not seen her since he walked out and he wouldn’t let me when we were messaging as it would upset everyone. I don’t know what to do!!! Please help!

    Hi,

    Thanks so much for putting this together! I’d like to give your suggestions a shot. The thing is, my ex and I had moved really quickly.. he’d asked me to meet his parents after 4 dates and asked me to be his girlfriend after 5. I was a bit concerned about the pace, but was definitely falling in love with him. We hadn’t been together long at all when he did something that dashed my hopes and made me feel like I couldn’t rely on him. I was really disappointed in him and mad at myself for letting myself fall so deeply and quickly (which never happens) and I suggested step back and take a break. Via text. I know..I don’t know what I was thinking.

    He didn’t respond at all though I’d told him we should talk about it and I wanted his thoughts and called him to chat – he just ended the relationship on facebook. And then the next two weeks was essentially a situation where I’d send him an email detailing my feelings about the situation, he wouldn’t respond, then I’d get anxious about that and send him a text or a facebook message a day later trying to figure out why he wasn’t responding, to which he wouldn’t respond, etc. In a 2.5 week period, I sent about 6-7 messages or texts, and 2 emails a few of them being pretty irritated but still respectful. At one point he saw I was going on a date on facebook and unfriended me and I reached out to him about that (which he promptly responded to tell me he needed to not see that sort of thing if he was going to move on).

    He ultimately friended me again, but at that point I’d started to realize that I didn’t necessarily want him to get over me – and that I didn’t really want this to be over entirely, and wrote him an email essentially giving the reasons why I’d ended it (fear of how quickly we were going, being upset that I’d let him in only to be let down) and how I felt (that I still wanted to try this out but go much slower and that I didn’t really want to go on this date I had because I still had feelings for him – soul baring stuff. I was vulnerable and really put my feelings out there. For better or worse.

    After 3 days he didn’t respond to it and I just let it alone, but was told that he saw me at an event we both had attended 3 days after that email, did a double take, didn’t look too happy, and shortly left without saying anything to me – not even a quick wave. Which really hurt. At that point, that night, I sent him a message that told him I’d been told of this and being hurt and angry about how unresponsive and uncaring he’d been thus far, told him I wanted a clean break and wanted to end it for good.

    So, a lot has happened. It’s not even the worst part. The worst part is that my best friend, not believing that I didn’t want to be with him anymore and thinking we’d be perfect together, sent him a message behind my back a day later telling him she could help him fix this – they don’t even know each other! Being mortified, I now had to send him a text apologizing for her and making my position clear, to which he didn’t respond after waiting a day. The next day, I sent another message essentially saying that all I wanted was to apologize and that it was really juvenile that he’s just been ignoring me, which made him angry – he’d said he would think about responding and then he’d get a frustrated message from me that would change his mind. He didn’t want me to message/text him anymore despite my cooling down and asking if we could talk about all this. So the next day I left a doozy of a voicemail message – nothing hysterical, no swearing, etc. Just letting him know how ridiculous this cold shoulder situation had been and how disappointed I’d been in him and having lost respect for him I never wanted to contact him again. But, it was a long one.

    That was a little over a month ago. Since then, a little over two weeks later, I sent a quick message on facebook to apologize for my role in how everything went down. I realized he probably was silent because he was emotional, pissed, or didn’t know what to say and that I should have respected it rather than pushed it. The apology: “I feel like an a$$hole. My feelings were justified in their own way but I reacted more poorly than I should have at times which didn’t help & I truly feel bad. Some silence & ocean air helped me see that. I I may have made the right call but I went about that poorly too; now there’s bad blood & I don’t know how to make that better. I truly am sorry. Last msg, scout’s honor. I didn’t have your #.”

    That was 3 weeks ago. He never responded. Since, I’ve started to get casually involved with someone else who leaves really sweet things on my facebook wall (that my ex might have seen, I don’t know for sure). I’m still single and I can’t be with this guy because for whatever reason, I still have feelings for my ex. They’re strong feelings and this inexplicably strong connection we had isn’t something I want to let go of. But it seems hopeless – do you think in the midst of everything that’s happened that I’ve got a shot at making this better?

    I almost feel like I don’t because I already promised I wouldn’t message him in my apology, I don’t have his number anymore, and while we have mutual acquaintances, we don’t have mutual friends. I think I pushed him away so much every time he ignored me that I really botched this up at this point. Which sucks, because I can actually see us being together for a really, really long time…He’s on a charity board that’s hosting an event later this week – I think it’s my only shot at seeing him / speaking to him. How might you suggest I go about this – would you tweak any of the suggestions in your post to better fit this bizarre situation, or am I just S.O.L? Thank you for reading this really long comment, and I look forward to hearing your advice!

      Eh, I have heard a lot worse. Hahaha.

      By not responding your ex is basically saying he isn’t ready to talk yet. That doesn’t mean the situation is hopeless it just means you are pushing him a little too much and he doesn’t like it.

      I say give him a lot of space for now. If you approach him at the charity board it might be too much too soon and then you really have issues.

    2. Nikki

      July 30, 2013 at 3:51 am

      Thanks. That’s what I’m worried about. I thought about not going to the event at all, but I hate the idea of changing my schedule because of him. I think I’ll go, and then send him a message in a week (which will mark the 30 day period) – unless you’re saying you think I should wait longer given the circumstances. Do you have any thoughts on sending messages when you’ve already said you wouldn’t send one again? Do I just reach out as though I never said it or acknowledge it? Does it matter?

    3. admin

      July 30, 2013 at 5:52 pm

      Reach out and don’t acknowledge it. It’s not that big of a deal.

    Hi

    This is a great article. I am going through a heart ache myself. My BF broke up with me just 2 days ago, Im totally devastated, I really love him and want him back in my life. His reason to break was I would not be able to adjust with his family and he has not even tried how can he say that. Also he lives in a different city. how do I get him back. I love him lots.

      The first of your name to comment here. Hahaha, AWESOME!

      Well, lets take things one step at a time. Have you started your NC rule? What do you plan on doing to evolve during that time?

    2. Vivinne

      July 30, 2013 at 12:08 pm

      Hi Chris, Thank you so much for your response.
      I have felt really relieved for many things after reading your article here.
      I’m preparing myself for the next, I am planning to get on new job as the existing one will only remind me of him and also would change my place, would move in to a new house. Planning to meet up old friends and new friends who don’t know him, so that I don’t think of him for sometime. He has planned to go home to meet his parents soon now, so I do not know the outcome. Just hoping that things work for me. I’m bit anxious about that also as his parents are asking him to see get married to someone of their choice. I’m worried. But at the same time thinking that I have someone wonderful like you to help me through .

      Hi Chris

      Its about a week now that we started talking and things are normal.He calls me every morning and every night which was usual and in between to check on what I do. he talks as normal and has still not come up with the topic about marriage but he did speak about it about 4 days back 🙂 but still the same thing that he has to decide and is not sure of what he wants to do..
      I talk very less to him and keep things very light so that he is not stressed with anything though I am! he says he misses me very much, the problem is that we cannot see each other very often as he lives in different city and unless he wants to come here I cannot do anything about it..
      Im still not on his facebook account but he does see if anyone writes anything to me on my posts as we have a lot of friends in common so he gets to know and can see my pics..
      Not sure why is he taking so much time coz this is keeping me also tensed..

      Not sure what I should do here? This is very crucial time and Im getting impatient and he is trying everything to see if im getting annoyedor jealous if he goes out with other women but still I have kept calm 🙁

      Hi Chris,

      Miracles do happen !! Looks like my chances are not over :)Last 2 days were amazing with lot of emotions…
      So after my last message here, I was totally upset but still somewhere in my heart I did believe that maybe there is something that will happen for me ..
      After everything I still did not break my NC rule and it did work! I was on my 20th day of NC period… though he tried calling me every other day.. but on 20th day many of his friends asked me what time is he reaching home, I was shocked to hear as I did not know that he is coming down here to the city where I live … and he did call me that time and I did not pick his call but then I thought I might have to take a call here and speak to him.. And I did call him back saying sorry was busy, you called? We started speaking normally and he reached the place but stayed at his friends place and early morning about 4.30 asked me to pick him up from his friends house.. I was happy to see him the next day but we spoke very normally and we spoke about lot of things, and he said he is not engaged he just could not, he asked for time from his family.. he said he did try to talk to his family about me but they were just not convinced.. He could not stop thinking about me on what I was upto for last 20 days and said he met many girls while in that process exchanged numbers but it did not mean a thing for him.. He says he is still confused and does not know what would be the right decision.. Im not sure if things are still in my favour or what I can do to make things better :):)

      August 18, 2013 at 4:13 am

      I think things are going well for you!

      He is clearly regretting his decision to break up with you. Now, bait him with your feminine charm and hook him.

      August 7, 2013 at 8:30 pm

      My best friends keep saying that he will never come back to me. As he was already thinking of breakup with me last year. But he just could not do because he did not want to hurt me. They said he had even discussed this with them:(
      We did have fight which led to a weeks break to us but he came back saying that he missed me a lot and asked my friends for help. But this time he told them that he just wants to be friends with me and I can speak to anytime as a friend and he would always be there for me.. He said he has planned to settle down either with me or anybody else but wants to do it end of this year.. So they were hinting me that I should move on and not to keep any hopes for him to come back to me.. 🙁 what do you think of this situation.. im getting nuts.. 🙁

    12. admin

      August 8, 2013 at 2:28 am

      Actually, I am not kidding you here.

      Sometimes moving on is the best way to get an ex back. hahaha

    13. Vivinne

      August 7, 2013 at 12:10 pm

      My best friends say that he will never come to me, despite me being the best girl till date for him. He thinks that he never got enough space from me, so he is happy with his new found freedom from the relationship and he thinks he has really thought it through. And even mentioned to them that he wanted to breakup last year but just couldn’t do because he really cares for me and did not want to hurt me. So he is not thinking of coming back and just wants to be friends with me. He says I am the best and closet he ever got to any girl and with whom he thought everything with.
      Dont know all this is worrying me a lot 🙁 I am really worried and stressed now. I really really love him and think that we are really good together as we were always known as the best couple who would compliment each other, even he himself would say this. Then what is wrong now? I am seriously worried! 🙁 🙁 🙁

      Hello Chris

      I was talking to my friends, and my best friends told me something that I wasn’t aware of. They keep saying that he will never come back!! They say that he wanted to breakup with you for quite sometime and this was his planned move. not sure what I should understand from this. What do you think ?? 🙁 🙁

      Can you maybe provide more details?

    17. Vivinne

      August 4, 2013 at 6:58 am

      Yes I should keep away from Facebook or else I would keep thinking about all this and never focus on myself, but the thought continuously runs in my head about him and that makes things difficult for me 🙁
      Not sure what other things he will come up to make me upset

    18. Vivinne

      August 3, 2013 at 4:48 pm

      Hello Chris

      ahh here again I come with something 🙁 which upsets me yet again!!
      My BF comments on one of his ex-GF’s photos and very cheesy comments which I never saw him doing ever!! he use to be very careful what he writes on social networking sites and not write anything that would hurt me! And this is what he had told my friend for which I should not be in his friend list which is why he did the actions of deleting! I can see that he feels he is very free!!! And feeling like he can date talk to tons of women again without thinking of me 🙁
      Not sure what he is upto! I dont want this to spoil my mood but im 🙁 🙁

      August 4, 2013 at 3:11 am

      Maybe you shouldn’t get on Facebook for a while. There is no use letting something like a stupid comment affect your mood. You are stronger than that.

      August 1, 2013 at 3:49 pm

      Yes its lesson learnt..
      I so wanted to yell at him yesterday, But I did not reply to him.. But my friend yelled at him yesterday for those actions, she told me today.He felt bad and me too 🙁
      Tomorrow he is leaving for his home to meet his family.. And my heartbeat is racing, Im so getting tempted to talk. He tried contacting me today via messenger and email for something, which I did not reply but since it was important I asked my friend to reply with Info.. I so feel like talking to him. I miss him a lotttt..

    21. Vivinne

      July 31, 2013 at 9:13 pm

      today Im feeling very low again. He knew all my passwords, he unfriended him from my facebook account, deleted all the messages, some photographs, checked my emails.. I never knew he knew my password, though I knew his.. Im feeling terrible again.. he changed his banking passwords. Please help, I am not able to think but just feeling miserable..:( What do you think are my chances getting less to get him back. Why do you think he did such actions

      Well, those are the actions of someone really angry.

      Just take a deep breath and try not to have a freak out (even though you so badly want to.) Take this as a lesson that you should never give a significant other personal passwords.

    Wanted to add something :/ When i told a friend of mine that i’m going on no contact but i’m scared,she had the great idea to write him from my e-mail account saying: ”Hey just wanted to let you know that i’m not going to contact you for a while.Not because i moved on or i don’t have feelings for you anymore because i do.”So this messed up!!!What should i do?I won’t write him for a month but does this make a big difference?Because we were talking and if i just ended the conversation he would freak out.I’m confused.

      Well, here is the problem I have with that Lara.

      You are basically gifting him the power. It’s like saying. Hey, I am not going to contact you so you don’t have to contact me at all during the NC period.

    2. Lara

      July 30, 2013 at 9:42 am

      What if i do this NC for 1 week and talk to him for 2 days and then do it for 30 week without telling him?

      July 30, 2013 at 6:14 pm

      Sure I think thats worth a try.

    Hi,
    Okay well, my ex broke it off with me nearly a week ago after dating for quite afew months. What shocked me was I never saw it coming. What i’m having trouble with is I am a type of person who freaks out easily so when I see him (daily bases basically) I get so emotional. No, I wasn’t a clingy girlfriend, I even tried on purpose to let him have his space. Was that a bad idea?
    Another thing is just days after the break-up he was suggesting for a friend to ask me out. I felt so ashamed and hurt. So I was also wondering is this away of pretending to be over me? If so I really want it to stop because it doesn’t help with my emotional issues (I am not one of the crazy ex girlfriends who self harm, no way).
    One last question. What does it mean when a guy got upset (even cried) on how you (meaning me) reacted to the break-up?

    1. admin

      July 30, 2013 at 1:46 am

      Ok, I think that might be a way he is pretending to be over the breakup.

      I also think that he cares about you still which is why he got upset about how you reacted to the breakup.

      I would start with the NC rule first. I tink that would do wonders for you.

    Hey. Dear admin. My ex boyfriend and I were together for just 3 days. Its like. He was attracted to me. And he wanted to be with me. But then he realised that he didn’t really love me. And that I might end up getting hurt. So he asked for a breakup. I agreed coz I wasn’t that attached to him. And plus what he said made sense. Him and I , both weren’t completely over our past. But his bestfriend used to tell me stuff like he really loves me. That he keeps on asking about me. He talks about me all the time.

    I felt very wierd and. And upset. And yeah mad. Coz this wasn’t done. It’s not that was crazy in love with him or something but what they both were saying didn’t match. And it made no sense. He told his best friend that he would come back. At least that’s what his best friend told me. And his best friend also said that the real reason was that he was being pressurised. One of my ex and his friends etc were forcing him to breakup and stay away from me. They were threatening him. My best friend didn’t talk to me coz I got in a relationship with that guy. So out of sheer pressure and guilt that it was happening coz of him he broke up.

    Then the very same night. He calls up. And says that he’s sorry. And then he was at this restaurant where there was a live singer. He made that singer sing a love song and asked him to say that it was dedicated to me thrice. I could hear the singer saying that that song was dedicated to me through the phone.

    That guy was really really really sorry. He even cried out of guilt. He fixed things between my best friend and me that very night. He asked me to stop crying again and again. Said he hated it when I cried. I didn’t wanna cry in front of him. But I couldn’t control myself. It felt asif I was being made a joke. He came in my life when he wanted and then left. It wasn’t a joke. It was my life he was playing with. But his intentions were clean.

    His bestfriend always gave me the impression that my guy was head over heels in love with him. And once his brother also said to me that he loves you. But my guy was saying something .I was confused. I didn’t exactly know what was the truth or whom to believe.

    Next day I read something and it gave me the strength to forget it and forgive them. Co its humans only that make mistakes and . And yeah he didn’t wanna hurt me. His intentions were clean. I want him back. I really do.Coz I bbelieve that him and I can be extraordinary together than ordinary apart. We both can make it last. Have something serious. He made so many promises that he wanted to keep. I can tell this coz it showed in his eyes. But something was stopping him. I want him back. Coz I know we both can work out and we both can lost. We’re good for each other.

    Please please help me. I request you. I know I wrote too much. But I wanted you to know everything. Help. Please. 😐

      July 30, 2013 at 1:45 am

      I think you can do everything on this page. If you haven’t read it then I suggest you do it. However, if you have a more specific question due to your situation you can ask.

    2. Sanaya

      July 29, 2013 at 4:12 pm

      By sorry he meant sorry for hurting me. Coz I blocked him on whatsapp and wasn’t picking up his calls . He was upset that he hurt me. He didn’t say sorry coz he wanted to get back together or something. He was sorry that he had to break up. He was sorry for not being able to keep his promises.

      He wants us to be great friends. Coz he said it felt nice. I agreed. But I’m not really sure that what I’m doing would get him back. He calls me about 2- 3 times a day.

      I think there’s still hope. Can you please suggest me what to do in order to get him back?

    3. admin

      July 30, 2013 at 1:56 am

      Ah, I misunderstood. My bad. I think you have a real opportunity. I would say that it is a really good idea to do a no contact rule and just for now focus on getting through that.

    It’s Rianna again. Thank you for the advice 🙂 if I’ve understood it correctly:
    – improve myself
    – just be his friend and don’t force the LDR issue. If he wants one, he’d have made it happen
    – be patient. If it’s supposed to happen, it’ll happen later
    Working on staying positive. Thank you for hearing me out.

    Hi there,
    I was engaged to this man for 5 1/2 years. We lived together and adopted a cat. In December, he was having work issues and didn’t communicate w me that he was feeling down. Instead he woke me up one morning and said he no longer wanted a house, kids or anything we had planned for the future. I was shocked and said I needed to evaluate the relation as I ended up breaking up w him. I started talking to this new guy as I was working on moving out, he was a friend to me, but the ex fiance got ideas and assumed he was more. I came home to liquor bottles on the floor and him asleep.on the couch watching a memory video of us that he made on repeat. I sat there beside him and cried. I didn’t know he was mourning the relationship until then, he seemed so set in his ways and I was hurt. After 3 weeks and when he discovered I stopped talking to that friend he told me he wanted all of those things w me and that he realised a lot. We gave it another chance to where he began provoking me w snotty comments and irritating me. Seemed to be on purpose. I went fishy and discovered he was enrolled on dating sites etc. I got angry and confronted him. He said they were from the past. So we moved forward. Then one DAT after a few months he told me he was going g to start weed. I said okay…enough w the games. Its weed or me. He picked it so I signed my termination and said as you have asked me to move out, I will give u that. He got upset and looked hurt. I tried to work it out but he began giving mW the cold shoulder. I found out by going through Hus phone that he was talking and flirting w this girl from Hus past that he once used to get over me before we even started dating and he was making himself better than what he really was. I was hurt and angry that he had no.problem staying up late and talking to her when he had always made a hassle about going out w me or staying up late w me. He blamed me and said I ruined his schedule by always asking for sex. I moved out 3weeks earlier than I was supposed to so he could start dating her quickly and he could miss me as he claimed he needed to do. He did miss me but called Hus vest friend to remind him of all the fights. On July 18, he posted on Feb that he is in a relationship w her. Is this in fact a rebound? We broke up last week of May. I have contacted him throughtout the first month since I moved out. Then stopped. He contacted me and I would reply back either to pick up mail or about the cat which he now gave away and to pick up my stuff because he threw away the memory boxes and kept my albums to give me back. I was hurt but composed myself. I am very much in love w him, just hated the games. Do you see hope in us getting back together and working this out? Will he contact me? He said he didn’t want to be friends and even if in 10yrs he realises we were good together he isn’t coming back because his life is better now and stress free.

      July 29, 2013 at 3:47 am

      Wow, he seems really angry.

      Definitely give him some space. You are going to have some work ahead of you but I am of the mind that you should try everything before you give up completely.

    2. lisa

      July 29, 2013 at 1:07 pm

      So, this new relationship he is in I shouldn’t be intimidated by? How much space would u say for the no contact period?

      July 30, 2013 at 1:43 am

      Give it 30 days and then extend an olive branch and reasses.

    Hi, I would like to know your opinion a what to do next. My bf broke up with me about 7 weeks ago. We had been together for 4 years. He told me that reason for our breakup was, that we don ´t have same hobbies and I didn ´t want to move with him and many other reasons. I couldn´t go live with him, becasue I didn´t have money, I was a student. I know that I didn´t have much time for him becasue of my final exams at universtiy. During the period that I was learning for my exams he visited me only once, but we had a great time a he told me that he loves me. After my university graduation he told me that is over. I can say that he never supported me in my studies. He doesn´t have university degree, I think that he is jealous because of that. We had some up and downs during our relationship, but we never broke up before. Immediately after the breakup I went for no contact for 5 weeks. I knew that if I have called him or text he would not respond at all. So I went visit him. He wasn´t at home, so I waited him with his parents about 2 hours. I have very good relationship with them. He was very surprised when he saw me. At first he was cold to me, but we started to talk more btw his first question to me was if I have a boyfriend. I said no and I asked him the same question. He told me that he has a lot of girlfriends and told me that has something on Friday. But during this conversation he told me that he wants me back, but it can last 1 or 2 months when we get together. Few days later we met for a bike ride. We had a great time and I felt that he cares about me. At the end of our meeting I asked him if that what he said that he wants me back is still stand. He said yes, but he must think about it and he adds that I shouldn ´t be upset if we don ´t get back. 2 days later I called him for a meeting, but as I said before he didn´t answer. I am so confused he told me that he wants me back, but he never initiate the contact. 3 days ago I was at his mother´s birthday party. He was acting very comfortable with me and he went see to off me to my parents house. I asked him to go out on Friday but he told me that he has something. I really feel that he is hiding another girl before me and his family only one month after the breakup! Because it is second Friday when he has „something“. Maybe they are not dating yet, but I really don´t understand him. He also calls me by nickname he gave me during our relationship. I know if I do nothing I lose him and he will be with her. I love him so much and I want him back. I see there is a hope and I think he doesn´t know what he wants.

      Hi Anita,

      I am going to say to you because of your situation that you need to do what you feel is right in your gut. However, realize that there is a risk with doing that. I think the new girl he is hiding could be a rebound relationship which is common.

    July 28, 2013 at 2:00 pm

    Please try to follow my story, i feel like youre such a sensible person to talk to and give me advice! My ex boyfriend and I dated for 4 months, then he left me for no reason (just over the phone, didn’t give me a reason, and we were young then with no foundation so it’s understandable.) Then, after 6 months of seeing eachother from here and there (mutual friends) and me being with other people, he came back to me. I remember how confident I was during the break up, I helped him with another girl (even though he just wanted me at that point) and we got along great. He told me how he was jealous when he heard I was with other people, and how he made a stupid mistake breaking up with me and still can’t find a reason for it. Then we dated for just about 2 years! We were very close (vacations together, spending so much time together, everyone was jealous of our relationship) but the last 6 months I could just tell things were dying out. For the past 3 months we’ve been getting into such small arguments over him either doing something like not giving me attention or just knowing he’s not in love with me anymore. For the past month everytime he was around his friends, I’d find him around a certain girl. He broke up with me 3 weeks ago (was coming over for a “break” for a month, but i convinced him he just needs to break up with me then :/) for reasons like “I don’t feel the same anymore” “I lost attraction” “we fight to much” “I need alone time to work on myself.” I texted him every day for 3 days after begging for him back, saying how itd work out. For the 2 weeks after I’d text him from time to time, but he said he’s not changing his mind. Then I find out he’s already with that girl that I KNEW he had something for. He told me a few days ago that they have a lot of common interests and she’s very nice. It sucks hearing this, because there’s just so much stuff I saved where he literally begged me to believe he’d never leave me again like the first time, but here he is doing that but 10x worse! It’s very hard to do the no contact rule because we have some mutual friends. I’ve seen him twice in person after the break up.. One with his friends and one with that girl. Both times we said hi and bye, just simple waves and a smile. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not a snob and I was actually talking to the girl in person (she came up to me) since we have known eachother for a while. His face was brick red when he saw me that night ha! But in less than a month I have to be at a party with him, his new girl, and my “new guy” (his friends all think I’m with somebody already.) I know his friends definitely want him with her, because she’s his best friends girlfriends best friend.. And he’s very friend oriented. It sucks being so close to him and even his parents, and he can just leave me like this for a possible girl who’s leaving 50 min away for college in 30 days. I’m really sorry this is so long, but I don’t know who to turn to. I love him, he’s my best friend and there are plenty of reasons I want him back. I’ve fought for him for 5 years 🙁

    1. C

      August 17, 2013 at 2:23 pm

      But what is he thinking if he writes that online, tells my friend it’s about me, then kisses his girl in front of me? What’s he doing?!?!?

    2. admin

      August 18, 2013 at 4:09 am

      Trying to “stick” it to you I think.

      August 18, 2013 at 4:46 pm

      As in try to make me jealous? Or just trying to show me it’s over? I ended up not talking to him at all at the party. His girlfriend just left today for college, she plays sports and is over an hour away so I know they won’t have time for each other. In 4 days, It would’ve been 2 years dating. Since she won’t be around, I’m thinking about texting him something, since it’ll be one month NC. Wish I knew what he was thinking 🙁

    4. C

      August 30, 2013 at 4:40 am

      I’m definitely going to go over all the articles tomorrow! But I also wanted to add how a few days ago I favourited a post of song lyrics he dedicated to me when I broke up with him years ago. I did this to try to bring back the feelings he felt when I left him, so he’d picture how I felt. It’s a song about how he’d walk through hell for a girl because he’s useless without her. Then today, he posted the SAME song TO HER. It honestly really hurt. One of my friends thinks it’s to get me jealous because he has too much pride to come back to me, but seriously how far can you go for jealousy? My other friend thinks that song lost meaning for me. Now I know you’re not him so it’s hard for you to guide me, and I may just over analyse everything and give you so much detail, but him doing this made me want to pour my heart out and just ask him how he could be doing this. It really doesn’t make sense, I have no idea what he feels or wants! And I’m assuming it’d be bad to contact him at this point

    5. admin

      August 31, 2013 at 2:10 am

      Man what a d*ck move.

      I wouldn’t pour my heart out b/c then that will make him think he can have you whenever he wants.

    6. C

      August 27, 2013 at 9:21 pm

      I hope you’re right! That night he left for 15 minutes to go get something, and I realised when he came back he was wearing my cologne! (he wore it the beginning of our relationship, and stopped because he got sick of it). I didn’t say anything, but I think it’s kind of strange he was wearing it when he came back! I may sound crazy, but at this point those little things mean a lot to me.

      The way I got him back the first time was by talking to him a lot, texting and hanging out with friends. Thats why I feel like I’m at a standstill right now, as in if he wasn’t with her, I could communicate with him and maybe get him back. Do you have any input? Or is there a certain article you’ve written that I could focus on? Opinions are always a plus 🙂

      Honestly, the best thing you can do is read the entire site. Read every article.

      Ummm… the cologne thing might be something..

      August 25, 2013 at 4:35 am

      And also just to add to that, he was at a party tonight that he knew i’d be at. He actually said bye to me, but was texting his girlfriend the absolute whole time, and posted something online to her right after I left.

      I made sure to be extremely happy the whole time, I caught him looking once! But still no signs of them drifting apart. It’s hard because for some reason I feel that I could have control over this situation, but I know I can’t

    9. admin

      August 27, 2013 at 3:06 am

      You are approaching the situation with dignity and I know it is hard. Glad you caught him looking once. Maybe my old age has made me cynical but when I hear about those relationships where the guy is constantly texting the girl the entire time I think “Oh, it won’t last.” Usually I am right.

    10. C

      August 24, 2013 at 12:02 pm

      I may of left 1 or 2 pages out but yeah I read a lot! I wouldn’t want to break them up either, but I really think his friends had a lot of influence on him. Plus, she’s a very easy girl. I was at a party yesterday and he told someone he didn’t want to go because I was there. That’s why I have absolutely no hope that things will ever turn, because now he doesn’t even want to be near me. And again, thank you for always responding and helping 🙂

    11. admin

      August 25, 2013 at 11:35 pm

      Man, I feel bad like I let you down somehow :(.

      Well, I think maybe you should focus on getting better now, on healing from this breakup.

    12. C

      August 22, 2013 at 1:32 pm

      But I feel like the longer it takes, the less of a chance I have, and the more time they have a relationship to develop. I’ve had the opportunity to see some things between them and when I say she literally replaced me, she LITERALLY did. Everything he said to me, he says to her, things like insiders! I read through every one of your pages yesterday, and it’s hard to know what to do while he has a girlfriend you know?

    13. admin

      August 23, 2013 at 6:37 pm

      Every single one of my pages, really?

      The reason it is hard to know what to do in your case is that there isn’t a whole lot you can do until they crash and burn. I am not really into breaking up relationships. I am into letting him decide he wants you more than the new girl. If she replaced you then do you think that he chose her on purpose?

    14. C

      August 21, 2013 at 1:27 pm

      Our conversation was 3 text messages, just wishing us both luck in college and to have fun. He specifically said for me to have fun, so I’m taking that as “do whatever you want because I don’t care anymore” kind of thing. He never tried contacting me during NC at all, and still doesn’t try to really talk to me.

      I had high expectations that when his GF left for college, he’d try talking to me, but no. Tomorrow would’ve been our 2 year anniversary, I know he won’t text me. I feel that if I write anything else to him, I’ll look desperate. So I guess I should give up 🙁 This is such a let down.

    15. admin

      August 22, 2013 at 3:17 am

      Hahaha just give it some time. I am the same way as you. I freak out way too soon before anything has had a chance to develop.

    16. C

      August 19, 2013 at 7:33 am

      I’m not sure. Since he’s in a relationship, nothing about our old one. I’m going to read some of your pages to come up with something good

    17. admin

      August 19, 2013 at 3:35 am

      What do you plan on texting him?

    18. admin

      July 29, 2013 at 3:26 am

      Hi there,

      I think you should read this article: https://www.exboyfriendrecovery.com/how-to-know-if-your-ex-boyfriend-is-in-a-rebound-relationship-how-long-will-it-last/

      It will make you feel a little better. As for what to do. I think right now you need to give him space. Going in guns a blazing trying to break up him and his new girl isn’t a great idea and won’t end well for you. Really focus on evolving into an “ungettable” girl during the NC rule!

    19. C

      July 30, 2013 at 11:03 pm

      I read that but he seems to actually really like her. He’s very down to earth and I think he actually developed feelings for her, trying to replace me. I’d never try to break them up and I’ve been giving him space. Seeing how he likes everything about her in social networking was beartbreaking as well, so I’ve been avoiding everything about him. Do you have any personal advice on how to get him back? I’m not sure what I should focus on most out of all the info I’ve read

    20. admin

      July 31, 2013 at 2:31 am

      I would say focus only on what you can control. Only what you have 100% control over.

      For a lot of women that is just evolving and improving themselves.

    21. C

      August 16, 2013 at 1:10 pm

      So after I saw him a few days ago, he wrote online “Every story’s made before it’s told” from a song that means wanting to get back together and start over. I took it as fate is fate, and that maybe it’s not even about me. I have been improving day by day, appearance and attitude. I showed this at a party I was at yesterday with him and his girlfriend. After watching them make out a lot (I still kept smiling the whole night, and I looked great, he kept looking my way), my friend got a chance to talk to him privately and he admitted the what he wrote it was about me! I felt a lot of progress at that point, but I’m still confused. From a guys perceptive, what do you think the deal is? I don’t see how he could write something like that, but make out with his girl 100+ times in front of me.

      And on another note, his girl was going around to EVERYONE at the party saying “why is she here? this is so awkward” (what, am I in the 3rd grade again?) I have to see them again tomorrow at my friends going away party, and I’m unsure if I should say hi and talk to him or not. I haven’t said a word to him in public, because no contact and I don’t wanna ruin his relationship (who know’s if she’ll get mad). They’ve been dating for a week, and she leaves for college in a week, but this will be the last time I’ll see him as far as I know. Any opinions or helpful tips?

      If you decide to talk to him.

      You should be very cordial and polite and don’t shy away from confrontation. Kill him with kindness and let the new girl hang herself.

      Well, I’ve just discovered that they’re officially dating. I feel absolutely lost and so torn. It’s been exactly a month since the break up, and he can already ask another girl out? Talk to her like he talked to me? Now where do I go from here? I’ve never needed advice from anyone as bad as I do now 🙁

      I am really sorry to hear that.

      Have you read my rebound relationship page? It does a good job of explaining the mindset of a man going into a rebound relationship.

      I think right now your best play is to sit back and work on evolving and improving yourself as a human being!

      So by the time I’m forced to see him at a party, it’ll be no contact for just under a month. I feel like he hardly misses me, and is enjoying life without me, but I also feel like it’s immature to not say something in person. So what should I do? His girl is going to be there, who I’ve actually talked to while they’ve been “together” (I actually really like her, and have talked to her in front of him recently.) Should I start talking to him friendly when I see him? I have some things I know I can say that’ll be bringing up some past but at the same time just be small talk. Any thing I should keep in mind? And again, thank you so much for listening and responding so quickly

      Yes, I think you should be friendly when you see him defintely.

      Sorry for the short response I am way behind today :/

      Thank you! And he actually broke up with me the first time for no reason (dated for 4 months, then he left me for 6 months, & came back for 2 years.) He used to say he was immature back then so he just didn’t know what he’s doing (to me it seems nothing has changed!) But when he broke up with me the first time, there wasn’t another girl. He came back after 6 months too. This time, the girl was always around, and right when he breaks it off, BAM he’s with her! So, I have no idea what to classify it as.. A rebound? A better relationship? Or just a temporary fling till one of them gets bored? I was very confident about him coming back, but since she was there the day he was gone, I’m not sure what to think of it. Do you have an opinion? It’s nice hearing advice from a guy for once!

      All signs point towards rebound/fling. Nothing serious. Of course, I am just speculating here but thats my initial opinion

      I’ve improved myself a lot the past 5 days, I’m an incoming freshman in college and going to orientation helped me realise how different life will be and how I can be happy on my own. But, I still want to be with him because I was very happy with him as well. I saw him yesterday again in a large group of people, we didn’t speak or look at each other. I was with my “new guy” who’s been my best friend for years, even through mine and my ex’s relationship.. Shouldn’t that bother him? Nope, he could care less. He’s already together with that new girl for a fact. He met her parents and everything. His friend wrote online “no one wants you here” last night, and he liked it. How could we go from love, to not even speaking, “moving on”, and “hating eachother” in 3 weeks? I really love this kid, for so many positive reasons. It was the most healthy relationship I’ve ever had with any person in general 🙁

      Congrats on being an incoming freshman. Don’t take those years for granted TRUST ME!

      He seems a little immature. That sounds like a high school reaction.

    My boyfriend and I broke up last week after 7 months. In May I told him I loved him and he did not return it. He almost dumped me but I convinced him that it would still be worth trying to date if he is unsure he ever will love me. He agreed and we went into summer. I became very insecure and he became distant. He stopped worrying about me going to parties and I became naggy because I kept getting the insecure feeling he did not like me anymore. We did fun things in between but I kept bringing things up that bothered me and we would both get upset and then last week he said he was unsure what to do. He said a part of him wants to keep going cause of the good times. Then he said he thought his feelings had changed about me and he is unsure if he wants me as a girlfriend anymore. He also said he felt I liked him more than he liked me and that he wants to remain friends. I am crushed. I have been in NC for a week now. Since the break up, he has liked two facebook statuses I posted about general things. What i am wondering is, is getting him back even gonna work for me? Or should I just accept it is over and he really has no feelings for me anymore? Our break up conversation ended with us both crying and saying nice things about each other. I just don’t know what to do.

      Breakups are always so tough. I feel you Bethany.

      I can’t guarantee a success for anyone. However, I think you should see it through. He still has feelings for you but you may need to just let things cool off a bit before you try anything.

    Thanks for your response Admin. I have been reading this page and will follow the strategies you outlined.

    There is also an extra level of complication to our relationship. Even though I moved out today, and will follow the NS rule, I am also moving to a different state in 6 weeks. We had originally planned a LDR for 2-3 years(we have already lived together for 6). Should I still wait 30 days before making contact; though that will be about 2 weeks before my flight?

    A part of me wants to go through with NC and give him his space and another part of me desires reconciliation and closure sooner given that i will be leaving in 6 weeks.

    Please help.

    Thanks a lot.

      I think you should go through NC first.

      You shouldn’t try to rush this process b/c if you do it might not end well.

    Hi,
    First off, this is a great website!
    My boyfriend and I have been together for 1 and a half years. We were in a serious relationship and we really were deeply in love. Trust and honesty was the number one rule in our relationship and he has broken this rule a couple of times but i can tell that he does feel very sorry and guilty. So 2 weeks ago he told me he was going to do abit of gambling with his friends just for fun and it wasnt until yesterday that i found out that he lied. He went to a strip club with his friends instead so straight away i said its over and that i didnt love him anymore. This morning we gave each other the official break up text and what he sent me made me think twice whether i really want to move on or not. He said he’s truly sorry for all the pain hes caused me , that he doesnt deserve me and still loves me and hopes we’ll be together again in the future. What should i do? I’m really confused.

      Hi Dee,

      I am sorry that he did that. Look on the bright side it could have been a lot worse. People do make mistakes. In any case, I think everything on this page applies to you. Start with the NC rule and go from there!

    After two years of dating, my boyfriend and I had a huge blowout last week. I said some mean things and he ignored me for days. During the time he ignored me I had a heart to heart with my dad and he really helped me to understand why I get upset and angry with my boyfriend. Last night though, my boyfriend broke up with me. To make matters worse, his mom drove him to my house to do it and she made him do it in less than 5 minutes. I love my ex with all my heart and I plan on sticking to this plan. NC for 30 days starts tomorrow. Hopefully I can get the love of my life back.

      I also bought the Text Your Ex Back system. I’m really excited to get started. It’s a little painful waiting to say anything at all but I have a great support system, i sent my best friend his number and deleted it from my phone

      Sweet! Good luck and we are all behind you here.

      Oh, and Steph, I am working on writing a killer ebook that will be even better than Text Your Ex Back. I hope to have it done in a few weeks. So, keep an eye out for that.
