    Hi Chris,
    My ex and I broke up 4 days ago, we have 8 years of age gap, I am older. We started hanging out earlier this year and after 2 months of hanging out, I forced him to do something and he was not happy about it so I left his place in rush after that
    he said he wants a break his reasoning was that it feels like relationship when it’s not and he really can’t have a woman in his life at the moment so I let him go, he came back after nearly 2 months and then things stared from just where we left it. It was more than casual hook up this time, we admitted that we were seeing each other. I met his family once and his mom twice. Things were great and all of a sudden we broke up just 4 days ago, he feels that he is not good enough for me, he thinks I deserve way more that what he can give me. Since we have age gap, he thinks that I will be ready for a serious relationship way ahead than he will be and when that happens I will not wait for him and I will leave him leaving him heart broken and hurt. He said that the more he sees me the more he likes me and now that he loves me it’s even more hard, so he pulled the plug saying the more we spend time together the harder it is going to be, and it’s already hard because he loves me. He said he doesn’t want to wake up one day and find himself lost without me in his life. We admitted that we love each other. I told him that I want to be with him and he said he wants that too but at the same time we have to be real.
    I told him if he really wants to go I will let me go but he needs to tell me that he really wants to go he replied saying he doesn’t want to go but we can’t keep on doing this as it is going to be harder. So I let him go and told him that, this is his decision which he made for both of us. The whole time we were hugging each other and crying, we just couldn’t stop crying.I have realised that I really love him. I don’t know what to do. I have decided to give him space for now, because it didn’t feel like that was the goodbye, I could be wrong but my guts and my intuition says it’s not the good bye. I need your guidance and help.

    Hi,
    I recently mentioned moving in with my boyfriend (not anytime soon, but in the future) and his immediate response was “maybe we should take a break”. After talking calmly for about an hour, I expressed I didn’t believe in breaks, but he said that the honeymoon period ended rather quickly and he wanted to “lust after me still”. I assured him that we could work on that, as he said the rest of the relationship was perfect “all the pieces were there”, but the romance was missing. And he just didn’t know how to get that back…
    I recently have been at his place almost every night, and we have certainly fallen into a pretty consistent routine. I agree there is very little romance… the conversation ended very open ended, and I wasn’t sure there was any actual resolution. But that night he texted as though things were normal-I waited to reply. And the next day told him that i didn’t think we needed a break, but I hadn’t been respecting his personal time and that I thought we both needed some space for ourselves…he didn’t reply to that.
    But later that week asked to get a drink, and things seemed normal, although I wasn’t able to see him. Another week has passed and Ive only seen him once to visit with his nephew. We didn’t talk about ‘us’ at all.

    I don’t know where things stand, and am afraid to ask if he wants to break up. I still have things at his home, and he does too, but he’s never mentioned exchanging them. And his family was unaware of anything out of the ordinary.

    Am I right to think that he just needs some space, and time to himself (and his guys-which is what he’s been doing), or should I prepare for a break up?? I don’t want him to feel pressured, as I think thats what put us in this situation, me pressuring him about the future.

    Help please. I haven’t slept in days!

    Thanks!!

    Hi Chris, I just stumbled on your article now, but i already did all the “DON’TS”. I contacted him immediately after the break up, I apologized, promised him never to repeat the same mistakes again, he didn’t reply but after about 1 week he replied saying “You gonna be fine you are a great person, you will meet someone who is gonna treat you right”. I panicked, i told him we had to sit and talk over it again, but he was always busy to talk, I know i totally screwed up, I kept on texting and calling him after the break up. It’s been 2months now but we have been having short texts like Hi!! Do you think it’s too late to try the no contact period and bring him back?

    So, last week my guy texted stating that he didn’t want to go rounds with me and to get him a list of my belongings to be dropped off this week as he was unhappy and I made him feel repulsive and hasn’t contacted me or responded since. (I sent a message to him previously that was totally misperceived) Over the last six months, after we started hanging out again, I didn’t feel he desired me more than a friend. I truly thought this but turns out he did. I only reacted to what I seen in his actions (no physical intimacy) and accepted him as a friend. Do I want different, heck yeah, he has my heart, we enjoyed a ton together. I don’t understand because we were planning future things two weeks prior. How do I respond if he makes contact to return my belongings? or do I ignore it?

    Hey Chris,
    I really need an advice. My ex boyfriend named Ivan broke up with me back in May because his ex while being drunk gave him a second chance and almost immediately took it away. I had a talk with him and applied the no contact rule for 25 days. On day 6 he contacted me in person (we go to same college but study different majors), I told him that I had no reason to talk to him and we left it at that before he contacted me again in person on day 25th. Pretty much we left for summer on a happy note. Once we met again in September, we didn’t talk at all all summer, he pretty much pulled into a prolonged hug, saying how much he missed. He also told me that he’s ‘friend’ sleeping with his ex while she’s in another relationship of her own. I pretty much got mad and got into relationship as well as a rebound. He got jealous too and officially hooked up with his ex. I should be happy for him. I know it but I still really love him. I know that she sleeps with other men beside him. His best friend told me that she even slept with him before hooking back with Ivan. I know that he does love her a lotband I’m afraid she will dumt him again or he’ll find out that she’s cheating on him. He took their ‘reconciliation’ hard that he almost killed himself but this might do it.
    Our relationship is not actually friend-zoned but without his ‘girlfriend’ around, it’s actually really flirtatious. We dirty joke, touch and laugh like back then, minus the texting and ‘kissing’. We both appear in Aladdin with us taking the lead. Pretty much we see each other twice a week due to college and rehearsals. We don’t text each other, unless I send some info about the play, we only talk in person.
    Chris, really I’m confused what to do anymore. I want him to be happy since he loves her so much, yet me and his best friend both know how their relationship will end. I really do love him. He completes my artistic and spiritual side. We both are musicians and actors. We would share and combine our ideas to create some new.
    Right now, we’re on rehearsal break (no rehearsals for 2 weeks) but we will see each other on Monday, rehearsals are on Friday.
    Should I apply the no contact rule again and only then start sending text messages? If so I can only apply till next rehearsal which is in 2 weeks on Friday.
    Any advice would be appreciated, no matter how hard or tough it may be. His happiness is my own, even if it means I have to let him go. (Which is too horrible ?)
    Thank you for your time.

    Hi Chris,
    My story is half success, half not. I followed your ex boyfriend guide avidly and it worked! He came back and for a few weeks everything was great, he was so into me even though we had both decided to take it slow. However the last few days hes been distant, very ill and stressed and busy at work. This all culminated last night with him texting me saying we were over again as hes not emotionally invested in the relationship. This came as a shock as a week ago he was telling me how much he wanted to make things work together.

    So my question is this, will your recovery work a second time? Or is not being emotionally invested too personal to overcome?

    Please write back, you’ve been a saviour to me so far, dont give up on me now.

    My ex boyfriend and I broke up a little over 2 weeks ago and I have been absolutely devastated the entire time we’ve been apart. Granted, this was my first real relationship, i’m still in high school (18 – senior) and he is out of school (20). I always thought that the age difference was going to be an issue since we first started dating but he always said no.

    We fought all the time because we both have trust issues for whatever reason and he was very jealous as am I, but we always new that breaking up was way to extreme. I feel as if I am being too emotional about my problem here because I know its not the end of the world, but the biggest issue I’m having is that he never explained to me why we he wanted to end it, besides him saying we don’t communicate.. but I ALWAYS tried to get him to talk about the problems but he is super super stubborn.

    Because he was my first real boyfriend, I feel like that is really why I am having such a hard time with all of this. I know that I am super young but there has always been something about him that has told me there is something worth holding on too, ever since I first saw him. I guess I’m just stuck as to what to do. I really do want to get back together with him, i’m just worried that he really doesn’t miss me or care that i’m missing him so much.. even though I haven’t talked to him since we broke up because he is refusing to talk to me.

    Any advice as to what I should do?

    Hi Chris,

    My ex and I broke up recently (Sept1). The breakup is quite confusing on my part. By the way, he initiated the breakup thru text. We argued over something and he asked me if it would be okay if we breakup. I agreed and said we stay as friends for awhile out of ego? angry?. It was quite a rash decision for both of us or maybe just for me. Then he post so many fb statuses. Like I just let him go. That a person can only see the true worth of someone if they are gone in your life. He changed his status into single that exact day! without us talking out yet. 2days after he’s asking how i was (through chat). I just said, “what?”. Then we got into some arguments via text. Pointing out our mistakes. Why he initiated the breakup. Why I agreed. Then he asked me if I still want to fix things. He called me but his quite drunk. I said I’ll tell him the answer the next day when his sober. He wanted an answer straight away and told me if I hang up, it’s over. But I hang up. I texted him that if he can wait for my answer the next day so we can talk it out straight and that we need to think things out. He replied that if I really want to, i should answer right away. I still insist for tomorrow’s answer. He said ok. The next day, I said i want to talk to him personally. He declined and said he already has a final decision. And that’s to really breakup with me. I panicked! I said why so sudden. I asked if there’s no chance of reconciling. Of 2nd chance. His too guarded. He doesnt listen and want to end things with me. He said we can have out last date on Sept20. I still text him, the way I never used before. Things get worst. He still dont want to have a 2nd chance. Saying he’s too afraid to try again. His too cold. But he always reply when I text him. I begged. I pleaded for him to have me back. His answer is NO. He told me he still love me but not the same as before. He said he moved on. He told me that I taught him to be prepared for the breakup situation for almost 1 year even when we’re together. (That’s the time I started working.. While his still studying. I graduated first.) Without me knowing. Without communicating his issues. HE told me I wont listen anyway! Then, he told me there are things he don’t know about me. We’re been together for almost 4years! After 20days, we met again for the last date. Same scenario. Same reasons. And he has already starting chatting someone. After a week we broke up, he admitted he started to chat his crush which is also his friend. I cried harder. I said I want to fight for him. He told me his afraid to try again. That he already made a decision. That he’ll think about it but i should not expect too much.. We parted ways. But we still have communication thru text. I texted him that i’m willing to wait for him if he changed his mind. If he wanted us to start again. HOnestly, i dont want to lose him. Its too hard. I felt like we had a unacceptable reason for breaking up. I’m confused too. Should I start the no contact rule? (BTW, i’m not a type of person who used to text him everyday, every hour, every minute when we’re together. I dont want to suffocate him. His the one who does it always.) Does it make sense if I apply the no contact after I told him that I would change for him. That i will fight for us?

    Thanks a lot!

    So glad I found this site!

    I am a woman over 45 who started dating again 7 months ago. I had a few that did not work out at all. The last man I met from the same dating site, we got along very well. He has health issues of BP and diabetes and ED (erectile dysfunction x 1 yr now!). We did a lot of things together, we never had one upset or bad word. He took me for dinners, to a festival where he bought me a gorgeous crystal necklace with earring, we watched movies in his place, played tennis, hiked, swam, listened to music together (he loves disco so do I!). So after one month things went well then on a Friday I had not heard from him by 700 pm, so I checked the dating site chatroom and he left a me ssage at 630 am that he did not want to see me anymore, he does not feel hes the right man for me, and he has to focus on his health, good luck! We chatted a bit later but he did not call me for 5 days, this was very hurtful to me. His issue is his health mine is I am not working for awhile now. So I was very hurt and upset, then when he did not call (as the last thing he stated he wanted to stay friends!)….I said I am not steak u can order when u feel like it! and I blocked him in my dating site. Next day he messaged me a note that he really cares for me but again does not think we are a match and has to focus on his work more. Then he gave me advise about my life and issues Im facing which I did like. He offered he would help with money if I needed help. Then two days later he called and said he missed me, and that we can still do activities together and he would take me out for dinners (so I assumed we were back dating). That evening he called to ask me for diner, I accepted. He picked me up and the whole evening he never reached out to touch me (not even in the car) but he was tired from work too. So he spent over 100 on the meal, dropped me home as it was pouring rain. He kissed me and said’nice seeing you again, enjoy the rest of your evening”…and I said same to you. No word for 4 days. I called him and left a voicemail what is going on, are we dating or what? So 8 hours later he called me back. He was out with his son for his birthday. So he was nice enough on the phone, I told him I got a new job, he was happy for me. He gave me advise. He asked if my family knew about it (as they live far away), I said yes. Then he got into his life, that he has a busy life, his health is getting better and he mentioned he meants female idiots on the dating site and I laughed! So at the end he tried to say I need and deserve a healther man than him. The man I was with before him was sick half the time and he died in april. Then in the end he mentioned his ED issue (which is a very private thing to bring up for a man) and hes had it for close to 1.5 years, he had zero erection and feeling. He told me he had 2 releases that he did himself (by watching porn) (sorry to be blunt here but!)……so then the call ended. After I thought why would he bring up that to me if Im just a friend now? He knows I care deeply for him and Im the one who got him a lot better by getting him of BP meds and onto vitamins to improve his health bigtime. He even said he sleeps 7 hrs straight the best sleep in 5 years now…Im very very confused. This is a man who wanted to get me pregnant and talked of me moving in!

    hey chris.
    i meet this guy few weeks back when i was on holiday, so when i was at the beach he came up to me and we spoke a bit then i gave him my number i didnt take his and then he called. i honestly did not expect him to call, things happened very fast cause we dated after 3 days we meet at the beach.
    i dont know if its crazy or what but i fell inlove with him, but he lives in another country, he promised to come back and visit and i was gonna move in at his country after studying which is next year. it was really nice, but his communication skills sucked and that frustruated me so i kind of started nagging him a bit, he also video called me few days back and after that things were totally different i dont know what went wrong but he sent a whatsapp message saying me and him are way too different and im a nice person but our relationship is not working out and staff.
    i know that i was nagging him a bit all because i wanted his attention maybe thats why, i have no idea.

    im really heartbroken cause i loved this guy and i still do alot,i tried getting him to change his mind but he doesnt seem intrested , i think he doesnt find me physically attractive cause all this drama happened after our video call and i had my natural hair(lol) when he called . i love him alot when he broke up with me i literally sat on the floor and broke down, thank God i was alone.
    im inlove with this guy and his just perfect but i think i pushed him away or he just doesnt want to be with me anymore. so now i`ve totally lost hope in men.

    1. Very lost and hurt

      October 25, 2015 at 5:10 am

      Aw…we are exactly in the same position. we were in LD relationship and he initial broke up via text with the similar reason as he give you. I am still deeply in love with him very much and I felt the same as you do.
      I replied text tried calling etc but no respond at all. Just a total cut off.. I don’t even know why how a guy can suddenly turn so cold especially after all the promises he has made:(

    Hi Chris
    I just broke with my bf I’m 21 and he is 37. I broke up with him because I felt like he was ignoring me. The first time I brought up the idea of breaking he begged me not to break up with him he said that we could work it out. But shortly after, I once again was dissatisfied and proposed to break up. This time with out any hesitation he agreed and completely cut contact with me. After a few days of consideration I felt like I had made a mistake. And now I want him back. I have read your articles. But I am not how I should go about things after the 30 day no contact rule .

    Hi, Chris,

    your page is very helpful and funny in a way! Enjoy reading it! Can I please ask you for 5 minutes of your time for reading what is going on in my life? I dated a guy – he is an extreme workaholic, businessman. All his life is about work and I always had a feeling he is running away from life and use work for this. Before me he had only one relationship in his life and after that – for 7 years – he was single. It was very hard for him to start a relationship with me and I could clearly see he was scared doing so..I suppose his ex might have hurt him but not sure. He was the one who started chasing me – relationship was developing very very slowly since he is Chinese and here in China such things just take ages..Anyways we got together and it was a very happy time – he praised me, complimented me, we spent time together, he introduced me to some family members of his, we travelled together, he invited me to his business dinners with clients and colleagues and old friends, I received amazing gifts from him (Chinese tradition – guys who chase you just bombard you with gifts). He told me first – I love you. It was very emotional and romantic. But it was super hard for him to pronounce those words later..During our relationship I started to be the one who was not satisfied after a while – I think I made a mistake and I started to require more of his attention. He was always busy and even when we were together he spoke over the phone sometimes talking about business. Sometimes we met only twice a month and it was not enough for me. He also wrote me rarely by himself. So I started to be nervous and I was complaining all the time and criticizing him. Once I had health issue here and instead of going to the hospital with me he sent his colleague to go there. I was very disappointed and we had a fight. I knew he is super busy – apart from his several businesses he also study MBA program in another city…
    Anyways how we broke up – he broke up with me. All happened after we signed a contract for my new renting (he wanted me to move to the city center to be closer to him and he paid for my new apartment) he invited me to a dinner and said we can’t go on like this any longer. he said he felt too much pressure, that every time I criticized him he felt himself terrible, that he tried his best but he evidently failed, then he said I am the best woman in his life, closer than all of his friends and that I don’t have to worry about my renting – that for him I will always be like family member and he will help me with this. I told him that I respect his decision. Then he got crazy – when we talked and when I started to tell him he is great, that everything will be fine, that I was very happy with him anyways – like never before and that I am grateful for this – he got crazy, he started to hug me, kiss me, then he drove me to my place and near the entrance to my building he hugged me and said – I love you, that’s what my heart tells me,. He asked me to stay one more minute longer with him, telling me he wants to travel the world with me, that he must be dreaming, that I am his angel,etc. He just got crazy – I must say it was the best break up ever!!!:)) Then after getting home he texted me a lot again. But next day silence. Later we communicated and almost all the time he controlled his emotions but sometimes got crazy like this…We met twice after this “break up”, being basically a couple…The first meeting after a break up we were together with his friends and one handsome friend of him (who didn’t know we are together) just started to flirt with me. When my ex saw it he started to behave and show others like I am his..So he was jealous…Then we also were together with his family in another city – everybody loved me, introduced me as his GF…but this evening he said to me again about the pressure, that he needs someone to understand him and that we are different, but that he still loves me…After the was an accident where I lost my temper and I said many bad things to him (texting him) like he was never a good bf, that he can’t be even a good friend cause he actually never asks me how am I doing, etc. So he stopped answering me. I then wrote him countless messages but no reply. He never deleted me but just didn’t reply. My last email to him was saying that I am very sorry for what I have said, that I just got too emotional, that he definitely can love and be very good in a relationship and that he tried his best. I wished him to find someone whom he can love and who can love him back..So 6 months like this without him but I could not forget him….
    Two weeks ago in a big city of Shanghai with its 25 mln people I met him….acccidentally….It was like in a movie….We were both very happy, he hugged me and there were some friendly kisses. We talked a bit but then I excused myself and left him. When I was talking with him I realized that I still love him very much and i saw he loves me too….
    After two days I wrote him a message saying it was a crazy accident that we have met – that I was not supposed to be at that place at that time at all. He said it was the same for him. Then He told me he hopes I am happy every day. I said I enjoy my work so much these days and that it is quite successful however I feel that I was more happy back then than now..He told me I am always the best and that hopes to see me again. I said that he has to ask me out then. And he said – my honor. Then he disappeared again for a week – so I decided to write him again – I said that I need help with my Chinese because I am gonna have a placement test at my school and need to communicate as much as possible. He said – how can I help you (BTW, he replied only second later after I messaged him…) and i asked him to communicate with me in Chinese. We had a short conversation during which he said – wait until I come back to SH and I will ask you out for a dinner. He complimented me twice – he said I look great now. Then i told him I have to go to a gym in half an hour, but he soon finished the conversation FIRST (:((() saying – ok, you go now. And it has been already one week again – we are not in contact.
    I AM VERY SORRY i used so much details and not sure you will have time to read all this, but I hope very much that you will find time for this. Personally I think and it looks like that he really do love me, I believe him when he says so, but it looks like he tries every time to control his feelings…What do you think Chris? DO I STILL HAVE A CHANCE TO GET HIM BACK? WHAT IS YOUR ADVICE – WHAT SHOULD I DO NOW? JUST WAIT UNTIL HE ASKS ME OUT AS HE SAID?
    Thank you!!!!!

    Hi Chris,
    Your articles are really helpful and I need your advice. Me and my bf had relationship for last 3 years.it was he who proposed me.nearly for 2years I was ungetable girl for him but finally I fall in love with him.during our relationship loved me and took good care of me.
    There was no cheating from both of us. As we planned for marriage issues started arising form parents.
    He is stubborn n short tempered.he used to break up with me and I used to beg every time.
    Recently again he broke up with me and block me frm whts app,not answering my msgs and calls.reason is his parents wants to him to get married so as his mother is ill and I asked him to wait till I get job. Few moths earlier he agreed with me and as now his family n friends pressuring him he broke up with me.as earlier I begged him but response.
    I came to know about your site and find it helpful.i am following no contact policy since last 2 weeks.but I broke no contact rule last week because it was his b’day.i wished him.but again no response.
    I know as I broke no contact rule I have to start it again from the beginning. But I am afraid. Will it work for me? Because from last experiences he knows that I won’t leave him and I will beg for his love.he might think that I don’t care for him now.
    He cutoff contact from me for last 3weeks. Do I have chances of getting him back?I was loyal to him all the time.we planned future together. How can he suddenly go away?or I was just “ungetable thing”he wanted to get and as he got me now he is least bothered about me?
    I am still waiting for him.i want him back.as it has happened before also I am still hoping for him.plz help

      I think you have a chance of getting him back but how well do you follow directions?

      Will you be able to implement the ideas on this site?

    Is this worth investing in when we’ve been broken up for 2 months already? He broke up with me because I was always nagging in a sense. Since the breakup I completed no contact for 40 some days. I’ve had a chance to really address my issues and I’m in a great place.

    I Initiated contact last week for a couple days on and off. He replied but doesn’t really seem in to communicating with me. On Friday I let him know I was attending his friends bday celebration that I was invited to out of respect. Said he wasn’t going but wouldn’t have minded if I went. He showed up him at The bday celebration. Walked up to me at the bar. We Talked and laughed and he told me what he’d been up to. Said he thought I was mad at him and everyone asks if he’s spoken to me. Told him I’d fill him in at another time if he wanted to know. We hugged and went our separate ways. Sat night I reached out to see if he was available but he said he wasn’t (replies were unenthusiastic). Haven’t heard from him or reached out sense.

    Seemed like we mutually missed each other but now I’m not sure. I feel like I’ve failed at my attempt to reconnect.

    Did I blow it?

      I don’t think you did but don’t chase him. Just go back and forth with no contact and texting him. You cant rush getting back together.

    Hi chris,
    My bf and I had relationship for last 3years
    He broke up with me 2 weeks ago
    After one week of begging n pleading I came to knw about your site which is very helpful
    I am following no contact rule since 1 week.
    Resaon for break was general one as you categorised. But it’s not for the first time
    He use to broke up with me and I used to beg and after that he used to say sorry & used to came back.we were planning our wedding.
    Both were serious about relationship.
    He is short tempered and stubborn
    But he loves and I love him too.
    His b’day is coming and I am still in 2nd week of no contact
    Should I wish him or not?
    As I am following no contact I should not wish him
    But he is stubborn n short tempered he might think that I don’t care about him any more
    Or just showing him attitude?!because earlier I was the one who talks 1st
    What should I do?
    I really want him back
    Please help

    Hello. Im in a bad place atm. My ex left me three days ago since then i cant eat or sleep and im really down all i do is cry. He said maybe one day we can try again because hes not ready for a relationship atm. which annoyed me as from the start i asked him if he was ready and he was always full on with me saying yes and about moving out etc and how amazing i am. When he left me he said I was great an would like to keep in touch. I havnt heard anything from him i guess hes just being nice? what i want to know is if i leave him alone will he eventually try again?will he miss me im wondering if he just needed space.
