    Please help me. My boyfriend of 4 years told me two days ago that we need to go our separate ways. I am devastated. We live together and have for 2 years. He’s met my family, I’ve met his. Four years of your life is a long time to give someone just to loose them in the end.
    I know I was wrong. I invaded his privacy by going through his phone. I made a huge deal out of a text his ex sent him and caused a huge argument but I apologized and we got over it that night. Two weeks later while I was out of town for work I told him about a conversation I had with a colleague over lunch. He flipped out on me so I flipped out on him bringing back up the situation with the text from his ex. He cheated on me 2 years ago and I gave him a second chance. I make one mistake going through his phone and he claims I’ve questioned his integrity and now he believes I don’t respect him.
    How did we get here? All I did was mention lunch with a colleague. I’m trying not to appear desperate but we can’t break up over something so silly. How can I make him understand. I don’t want to move out and get an apartment and commit to a year of living apart. Help me to show him that we can recover from this.

    Hello,
     I write to you from Pakistan with alot of hope that you will help me. I am going through hell and I came across your site. I need help. Me and my boyfriend broke up around a week ago since he thinks I cheated on him where as I went to see an old friend at his place when we were in a breakup because I wears rebellious and I wanted to do everything he had asked me not too, anyways I went and came out within 20 minutes because I felt wrong. Later we got back together but two months after this we broke up again now and I’m devastated, I don’t know what to do. He has been going around telling his friends I cheated on him where ass I haven’t. Please help me and guide me through.
    I could really use your guidance. We are going through a very complicated time where we both want to get back together but he pulls away each time he tries or I try, I tried your no contact rule but he started calling me and texting me and I replied in a very mature manner but he made it all about how we used to be and then how things could have had been and then he pulled away. I am to see him tomorrow on a wedding as well.
    Please please help me through.
    I’ll be waiting.
    Sincerely,
    Ayesha.

  3. A little broken hearted

    Hej Chris,

    I found your site yesterday and I hope that you will reply to this comment as I feel quite desperate and also a little heart broken.

    My boyfriend of two years broke up with me yesterday. He has been quite distant lately and said yesterday that he would try to work on things but changed his mind twenty minutes later saying that he just can’t do it anymore. We have been going through a hard time the last 6 months and it has been hard on the both of us. We just seemed to keep fighting and he felt I critisised him too much, which I did! He says that he has given up and doesn’t believe that it can get better. He also said that he hasn’t been feeling mentally well since January and has a lot of things on his mind and with the stress of our relationship issues it’s just too much for him.

    He said yesterday that wants a future with me and loves me very much but that his feelings just arent the same anymore and he doesn’t know if he is in love with me – we lost intimacy these last months. I was heart broken but not shocked. I want a future with him and I love him. I wrote him shortly after, this was the message: “Hej *****. (his name) I hope that you have gotten home safely. About your things, I have time to meet on Wednesday at this hour. I will also cancel our upcoming holiday together. I love you and I wish you the best. Kisses.

    He responded back today. “Hey. Thank you. That’s fine, I am available at 14.” My question is, I want him back. Should I meet him and give him his things and then start 30 days of no contact, or can I message him that I am not ready to see him and that I am sorry and just start my 30 days today? I don’t know if I can see him without getting emotional

    I might be wrong, but I thought that having his things gives me a good excuse to see him again after the 30 days. Also I suggested that I send his things via post and he suggested that we meet in person. I hope to hear back from you.

    I started dating this guy in February this year, we became
    pretty serious with one another.. We got really close and
    attached. Something came up and he asked if i had done an
    abortion before.. I lied and said no.. He kept asking and i
    said yes.
    I also lied i had broken up with my ex but i didn’t , i only
    stopped communication with him. He found out about that
    on facebook because the guy used my picture as his profile
    picture.
    He asked me the last time i saw the guy and i said
    November last year.. He later on discovered that it wasn’t
    November.
    Then i pleaded an pleaded and he asked me to call the guy
    on the phone and put it on speaker and ask him why he put
    up the picture as his wall paper since we were not dating
    but i couldn’t., i told him the number wasn’t reachable. So he
    asked for the number, i couldn’t give him so i gave him my
    mums, forgetting he has her number.
    I really love this guy to bits but i lied terrible to him. I wish i
    could undo all the lies i told.
    He sent a text saying i shouldn’t call or text him.
    He said he forgives me but he cant be my friend.
    He said some people can never change even if they were
    given a second chance .. I am who i am.
    I’ve sent a text begging him to take me back.
    Pls is there anything else i can do? I really love this guy. I
    dont know why i told so much lies.
    Please help me

    So I dated this guy for two months and everything was going great. We would hang out all the time and we even talked about long term future like getting married when we’re older. We got to the point that we’d even say “I love you”. All of these things he initiated. He was on that level well before I was he started saying it and at first it creeped me out but after getting to know him better and realizing we fit so well together because we have so much in common I started becoming more comfortable with it and it was great. Then the day he broke up with me not even 20 minutes before it happened he asked me what I wanted to do this upcoming weekend and we made a date. Then out of nowhere he said he wasn’t ready for a relationship, he doesn’t feel the same way anymore because we started off so fast that we burned out even quicker, he thought I was passive aggressive, and he didn’t like having to hide it from his parents anymore (we were in an interracial relationship and his parents are very against it). It’s been a little over a month since we’ve been apart and the initial pain of it has faded away but I’m still miss him and what we had. I didn’t contact him during the NC month. However, recently I had to call him because I got some news that would affect him so I sent him a text before saying to call me when he got the chance because I needed to talk to him and literally 5 minutes later he calls me and is like “Are we about to have a heart to heart?” And then he laughed the way he does when he’s being flirty trying to lighten the mood and I felt like part of him wanted to have a heart to heart? But I’m not sure because sometimes I overread things. Anyway we got off the phone and two days later I found out that the thing that was wrong wasn’t wrong anymore so I had to call him and correct my mistake and once again he answered my call and we were very nice to each other nothing was awkward and it felt like old times when we’d stay on the phone forever I really didn’t want to hang up but I ended the phone call after the information had been exchanged. We hang out in the same friend group and we go to the same school so we see each other frequently we make eye contact a lot but don’t really speak unless we need to. One time we hung out with my other friend and we threw rocks at each other and we were laughing. It might be a little immature, but I unfollowed him on all social media (snapchat, Twitter, insta, etc) so I wouldn’t be tempted to creep and when I see him in the hallway I won’t acknowledge him (smile or say hey I just avert my eyes) because that’s just how I’ve always been in just awkward like that and maybe he’s taking that as me hating him? I know the signs that your ex misses you is that they contact you but he hasn’t contacted me at all. Should I just let it go & let time erase the feelings/memories or speak up and tell him how I feel? Do you think he still likes me? Am I over reading everything?

      Hi Joanna,

      I am glad that you found the site.

      Something must have happened. I don’t think he is being completely honest with you about the breakup reasoning.

    Hey there!
    So my boyfriend and I didn’t date very long, but we were in a stage of “talking” for about two months before anything actually happened. We broke up almost two months ago (February 9th) and luckily I had seen it coming so I wasn’t absolutely devastated and we managed to remain on good terms. Since then we haven’t texted one another or talked alone very much but we’ve spoken in person while around friends and such. His reason for breaking up was “it’s not you, it’s me” with somewhat of an elaboration as he said he felt bad when he would forget to reply to my texts and he initially thought he was ready for a long-term relationship but had changed his mind. The first two weeks after we broke up he seemed upset around me and wouldn’t talk very much but now it looks from an outsiders viewpoint as though neither of us really care at all. Would I still have a chance at getting him back or does playing like I don’t care this entire time and his lack of interest mean I’ve lost my shot?

    Hi Chris,

    My ex of 1,5y broke up with me in the beggining of Dec 2014, at first he said the reasons he broke up was that he fell out of love and he thought i was too dependant on him. Now almost 4 months post BU he said the real reasons for breaking up was bc he thought i was “the one” for him and that we were too different…

    Do you think i even have a chance to get him back?

    Hey ,
    I broke up with my ex two months ago after being both brainwashed by my friend he was no good for me and not getting my own way which is ridiculous. We’d been together for over a yr with no arguments but had two situations of me breaking up with him in a short period both were while we’d been drinking . We have since spent the two month break up still going on dates saying we love each other etc but him being a little emotionally withdrawn. He has since re ended the relationship with the excuse that he never wants to feel as upset as when I broke up with him but still cares greatly for me and has feelings for me and needs space so we can get over these and be friends . I however have realised my mistakes and want him back . What do I do ?

    Bella: My boyfriend broke up with me in December he caught me off guard. We did not talk until almost three weeks after because I insisted but I did text him many times in between, he never answered back. When we talked he said it was over and said a lot of things that really hurt me. I kept texting because I was desperate and almost a month after the first time we talked we talked again just as friends but it made me feel better. After that I kept sending texts and letters of over four pages and one day he called me after a text I guess he was upset but I did not answer and text him that if it was going to hurt then I didn’t want to talk to him, he then replied no it was not going to hurt but to please not text or call anymore but we ended up talking for almost an hour that afternoon at the end of February. He said I was pushy since the beginning and that he always told me which was true, he also expressed his frustration because of my childish behavior but I just told him that I just did not know how to handle the situation and that my behavior was not intentionally to make him feel the way he was feeling. He said we would not be friends anymore and for me to try to handle the situation on my own. I begged him to be my friend and also cried a lot. I also told him that I loved him, he didn’t say anything. He knew I had feeling for him because I would express it to him other times. Towards the end of the conversation he agreed to be my friend and was calm but he asked me not to text or call and waited for him to do it. I know he would do it, I’ve been thinking he just couldn’t take it anymore but I’m desperate and willing for him to call. I have controlled myself but it hasn’t been easy and have done the NC. I’ve thought of waiting between 30 and 45 days to text him. At the end of March will be the 30 days. Give me your advice I know if I wait all that time he will be wondering why I haven’t done it even though he told me to keep on with my life or should I wait for him to call but what if he does it in 6 month. I can’t wait that much. I know he is a good man and I don’t want to lose him. If I use the confession text and he answers back I’ve been thinking to saying something like “I regret that my behavior cause this relationship to not work and I would like to offer you the real me a caring, loving and funny person and not the one I became during this relationship because of not knowing how to handle it.” A friendship with no stress or drama. I know even if he questions himself about what I’m saying he would know I would be saying the truth about me and he might want to give it a try to this friendship. He would always say that I was nice to him and that he liked me and I also know that I would insist and would get things my way, but he also said sometimes that I scared him maybe because of my behavior but I want to prove him wrong that all that I was doing was reacting and that in reality that is not the person I am. I was just scared of losing him and that was exactly what happened. I don’t know if it would work now. I even had to get professional help and he knows about it and also knowing the person he is I know he must be asking himself how am I doing? This was a long distance relationship and lasted about six months. When it happened everything was kind of ok but something came up that I had not mentioned before and he totally flipped and ended the relationship and we were together that day that it happened. That’s why I think I can’t get over it because I wasn’t expecting that to happen. Please help me, tell me what to do. I just want him to miss be and text and call the way I did so that he can see how I felt but I do have feelings for him. I’m willing to do anything and everything to get him back.

    My boyfriend and I broke up roughly a month ago. We have been toegther on and off for a total of 7 years. The longest we have ever been broken up has been for 7 months. I feel like I have messed things up pretty bad and it’s due to my temper and me snapping. I made an empty threat simply because I got upset. I have not had any contact with him for almost two weeks. I admit I tried calling, texting, and even showed up to his house to try to work things out but to no avail. I made a huge mistake and I feel like I’m losing the love of my life.

    My ex broke up with me 3 months ago I did a 3 wk no contact, tried the first text.. He responded but in a neutral way.. Tried the second text a few days later instead of waiting a week..and he didn’t respond, then I stupidly sent another.. Didn’t respond..should I do another 30 day no contact? Haha I feel so stupid!! Or should I just let it go and never contact him again

      March 8, 2015 at 3:16 pm

      Well, what texts exactly are you sending.

    2. Jess

      March 8, 2015 at 11:49 pm

      The first was the I have a confession to make.. He responded neutral.. the next a couple days later was trying to remind him of a good time together and he didn’t respond…then the next a few days after I invited him out somewhere and he just wrote “no can do” .. It’s been 2 weeks since then.. Should I wait another 2 weeks and do it properly and be more patient? Or just forget it altogether I don’t want to look like a crazy ex gf!!!

    3. Jess

      March 10, 2015 at 11:56 pm

      I feel like the longer time goes by the less chance I have of getting him back! It’s been 2 weeks since those messages should I wait another 2 or try again?

      Should I start off with the “just been thinking lately and you popped into my head?”

      March 15, 2015 at 5:23 pm

      No, I would say go a different route.

      Less about him and more general I would say.

    7. Jess

      March 16, 2015 at 4:08 am

      He didn’t reply, so I suppose ill wait another 2 weeks and try again? And if he doesn’t reply to that then it’s time to let go, what do u think?

    8. Jess

      March 16, 2015 at 4:09 am

      And also the women who got their exes back in the 3-8 month period, did some of their exs not reply to their first attempts? Or is it a really bad sign and looks like there is no hope

    9. Jess

      March 15, 2015 at 9:36 am

      If he doesn’t reply to this one, in your book you say to wait another 2 weeks and try again.. If you have already used the confession text, the just been thinking lately and u popped into me head text and failed…Then what do you use next?!

    It’s been almost a week since he broke up with me. I was not really expecting it but was always a little worried because he told me from the beginning nothing ever works out. Anyways I met him a year after I let my kids dad who was very mean to me.. when I met let’s call him D our first date was the best date I had ever been on then a few days later I had to take my girls to see their dad out of state. D and i talked everyday I was gone for hours and when I came back without my kids bc they stayed with their dad for the summer D and i spent every day together the whole summer and he was their for me when my ex tried to keep my kids. When my girls got home D finally met them after a few weeks and they loved him right away. Everything was great other then I’m stuck living at home with my parents till I can get my own place and that was hard on the relationship. We’ll I had not fully gotten my life in order I still have a lot I need to work on and things no matter how positive I stay things go wrong a lot. D and i talked about moving in together when I got a place. Everything we did together was great we had wonderful dates what was wrong is he told me I have a hard time leaving things alone which I was working on and i would ask him for comments when I was said which would make him feel like you said like he was not doing enough. We’ll I did it again and I just count not understand where he was coming from and then some things went bad in my life and he said it was over he could not handle it anymore. He told me he was not happy. This was hard for me to understand because we were always so happy together but after thinking I could understand. The thing is he is told me he needed to get some distance from us. Which I understand but am having a really hard time with. I text him on Saturday left him alone on Monday they emailed him on Monday which in simple said i was sorry I would give him time and want to stay friends. But I was sick today and down and called and text him. I know I need to give him space but it’s so hard everything reminds me of him and i keep hoping I’ll call or text and he will be happy i did :(.help what do I do and do you think we can work it out?

      I really want about this too. I started seeing this man for several months before we started dating, which we dated for a year and a few months. He just called it off out of the blue. The thing is he said it was that it was because he couldn’t handle the child, which he knew about my child well before we went on our first date. He was so good with her. He would always say “he want to teach her this, we need to do this for her.” When she got upset he would be the first to talk to her. He told me he thinks she’s a great kid when we broke up. I also have the same living situation as Carol. But it was hours away from him. This bothered him. I’ve never gotten along with someone so well and had a lot of the same views. I talked to some mutual friends, who are honestly closer to him, and they think it’s an excuse. I haven’t contacted him yet. I would like to know if Carol and I have a shot. I know her situation is different. I still would like to see a single mom have a happy ending, even if it’s not me.

    Hi Chris. My ex “broke-up” with me New Year’s Day. We had only been dating a few months and it was long distance (4 hour drive). We talked every day and spent almost every weekend together. He “vanished” after a disagreement we had on New Year’s Eve. This was the second time he had done this. The first time was early December for a few days. He said when he has a lot on his mind he tries to “fix” them on his own. We talked about it and discussed that we were in this together and need to talk things through. He even said, “we were either going to talk it out today or put a bullet in it. You deserved more than that, and I never would have forgiven myself.” So I thought we were ok. (He is also an Vet with PTSD).

    At any rate, we discussed spending NYE together. He did not want to since I had to work (in a very public place) and then stopped returning my calls and texts. For the next two/three days, I called non-stop (I know, TERRIBLE decision) and sent some “colorful” emails/texts/Facebook messages (another bad decision). After I calmed a bit I sent a nicer message hoping to encourage contact. A few more days passed (absolute NC) and I sent him a text saying I missed him. He responded, “You broke me.” THAT absolutely broke my heart. We talked a few days later about trivial things but not about what had happened. Then, when we were to talk about it he disappeared again. We last spoke over a month ago.

    Should I just let it go? I know we had only been together for a few months but he was like a mirror image of me. He understood my weird quirks, and I got his. We talked about future plans and what we wanted out of life. We just worked. He constantly told me, “You complete me.” Part of me just wants to know what happened, even if we don’t get back together. I’m in my early 30s so I’m not new to break-ups, lol! (He’s mid-30s.) Would reaching out to him be a big mistake? …like picking at an old scab…?

    Thanks
