I’m on day 8 of NC. I am going crazy. I want to know what he’s doing, thinking, feeling. I don’t understand how he doesn’t care after 5 and a half years of a relationship. I saw a facebook message he sent to a friend about thinking one of his neighbors was attractive. I’m so scared that by not talking to him, it’s just helping him get closer to that girl. How do you know that’s not the case?

Well I found this all very informative, but I do not know if this is too late for me to use? My boyfriend and I broke up about 4 months ago and I did not necessarily take these actions first because I did not know what exactly to do and second because I was rather angry. I do not know if it is still possible to make him miss me because I may have done a few thing incorrectly. For example, we were best friends before we started dating and when we broke up we made it a point of emphasis we wanted to still be good friends after. So this meant we had immediate contact right after. There was a period where I choose to hang out with other groups of people so all hope regarding that may not be lost. Also since he broke up with me the tactic I resorted to was to try and make him jealous, or just get his attention. I started “dating” this guy that my ex hated everything about. I knew he was really mad but never exactly revealed that to me, I knew through our mutual friend, but he did make little underhanded remarks. So I thought initially this is good right? But then it took a turn for the worse. He told me that this isn’t me and he doesn’t know what I’m doing. We’re still really good friends, and we spend alot of time together, but I just don’t know if it’s too late, or if I even have a chance to get him back?

hello,
I just had a break up on 31st dec. he called off our 3 years relationship, because he cannot give up his family for me. I saw immediately on 1st Jan he unfriended me from facebook. this way we are not in any touch unless we contact each other. He won’t do that as he is a guy and he is the one who broke up. I think he lost the feelings for me, for he developed it for other woman. we live in different cities and we hardly meet in months. it was alwaz me who would initiate the contact. I really felt pathetic and we would have fights on the same issue. And finally we broke up. I am so sad and guilty, I am trying hard to get over. I didn’t contacted him since the last call wen he called off the relationship finally. Do you think you can help me either get over this feeling of having him back. I think I really loved him deeply and I cant believe he cheated on me so badly.

Hey,
3 years ago—-> Okay so basically i met this guy 3 years ago and everything started out great.a in fact, we would talk on the phone until morning and we would say sweet things to each other. The only problem back then is that he had a girlfriend but they were going through a break up at that time and it was really confusing for me too so i ended up things with him even though nothing happened between us(only me falling for him of course). So after that, we stopped speaking and i met other great guys and i didn’t even think about him twice. At the end of that same year, we startedto speak again and he was the one that time that really wanted things to work out but it was almost summer and a lot of pretty awesome things were happening in my life and i just didn’t think of him that way anymore so i pushed him away and we stopped talking once again. Maybe a few times now and then we would text each other to see how the other one was doing but nothing more.
2 years ago—> We started to speak to each other again and it was on/off love/feelings that we discussed about but we never jumped into the relationship kind of thing. We almost made out once but it didnt even happen. During all that time, i failed to mention that he was always there for me and even helped me when my friends needed help. He really cared for me and it showed. Anyways since it was always on and off and both of us didnt know what the other wanted we stopped again and again speaking to each other and he once admitted that the summer i pushed him away he considered me as: “the one that got away.”
1year ago—> same old story, we woud talk on and off never knowing how the other felt. we would once in a while see each other…but nothing like a real relationship.
fee months/now—> we finally got to kiss each other. the only problem is that there was nothing magical about it. nothing felt right on my part. i kissed him truly and passionatly but nothing happened with my heart or in my stomach. I had been waiting a long time for that day but i realized maybe it was TO long.. anyways i told him that day that i didnt want a relationship just that we continu seing eachother for now and he agreed. So we started texting everyday(actually he texted me everyday) It was sweet but maybe too much for me? because i felt myself wanting to take a step back each time..wanting him to stop but when he would there was like a hole.. anyways it was his birthday a bit over a month ago and we saw each other. I got him a cake because i didnt want to come empty handed and we had fun during the time we spent together. we kissed and got a bit closer.. Anyways i didnt have the symptoms of a girl falling in love and i knew it each time he would kiss me. I will agree that i love being in his arms and him holding me but i felt like it wasnt fair to do this to him. That i had to tell him the truth eventually about how i trully felt because i taught that he was falling for me. Just tge fact that he called to see how i was doing..texting me sweet adorable stuff and talking bout me to his friends… etc. I couldnt do this to him
what should i do seriously??
Thank you a lot,
Jessica xx

after 2-3weeks of not seing each other(because of school) and me being more and more distant in the texts he realized and i told him we needed to talk..at that point he knew a bit about what was going on because it was not the first time we had that awkward talk. Anyways we saw each other right before christmas and we walked.. i told him exactly how i felt and he responded really well.. i told him that i didnt have feelings for him and that i couldnt do this because it was just wrong for me to be with someone i didnt have feelings for. He understood pretty well. attge end of our walk i looked at him and told him that it would maybe be for the best to stop talking to each other since we never really were friends..so wd could never be just that now. he said okay and we agreed on never texting ourself again. Right before we were about to go our seperate ways, he tried to kiss me one last time but i didnt let him cause i didnt want us to end on that note so we hugged and we said our last goodbyes.
Since that day (at least 2 weeks) we didnt txt, i deleted him from my contact(but i know his phone number by heart-.-) deleted him from everywhere unless facebook and the problem is that i cant stop thinking boht hin and my descison. Maybe i just miss the part where someone had feelings for me or maybe i do really just miss him. anyhow now its kind of too late because we said that it was finally over. but i dont know what to do anymore! damn i think bout him a lot.

I’ve been ‘seeing’ my best friend for 4.5yrs.
He always said that he loved me, but wasn’t in love with me, and foolishly I believed that he would eventually come to see what I saw, so I continued to fool around with him.
In June 2012, we ‘broke up’ and decided to just be friends. By Christmas stopped hanging out at all, until about May 2013, when we met at a party and decided we had both really missed each and should try to be friends again. That was going great. We did sleep together twice, but I kept my emotional wall up and it was no big deal. We stay at each other’s places (sharing a bed) almost every weekend, because we have plans and do almost everything together. It just made sense.
Since about June 2013, I’d say, there has been a subtle shift in our dynamic. He’s been very attentive, doing little things for me, looking at me differently, smiling at me in a certain way, wanting me to check out us in if we were eating somewhere (he’d been very secretive about our amount of contact previously). Just being very loving. I kept my wall up and just went along, feeling like we were getting closer, but just enjoying his company.
Six weeks ago, we were with friends having a few drinks. He stayed at my place and when we got home he told me how I’m his bestie, how he is knows I’m not going to try to change him, how I know him better than anyone, but also how he thinks I deserve better and how he doesn’t know what is wrong with him. He then said “I love you” and kissed me on the mouth (something we don’t do). Of course, we slept together!
Since then, he has been very snuggly in bed, which he never was before. He used to say that he “let me cuddle him because he knew I liked it” (I know!) He actually initiated cuddles, asked for cuddles, snuggled his face against mine. He generally acted like he was totally into me. Sunday night, at my place, I said “I love you” He said “I know… I love you too” I said “I know”.
All our friends have been asking me what’s changed between us lately. They say there’s a vibe coming off us. They have always thought that I didn’t return his feelings and he was just puppy dogging me around (which hurt me for him, but he didn’t want people to know about us back then). My married friend asked me this on NYE and I just gave her the standard line. “We’re just friends. We love each other very much.. Blah, blah, blah”. When she asked him later he said “We used to have a think year ago. I love her, but I’m not in love with her. I’m just trying to be her friend.”. Then he just sort of walked off. WOAH!
She told me this at 2 minutes to midnight, having no idea that it would crush me (I mean, I was there a year ago, so I should have known the story, right?). He then comes up for his new year’s hug and acts like he might kiss me. I’m frozen and attempting not to fall apart in the middle of a party. Awkward.
New year’s day, I sent him a message saying “Thanks for the past few months, it’s been lovely. I really thought that maybe we were getting somewhere. Time to give you up now. Four and a half years is long enough. I can’t do it any more. Take care. I love you. X”. He wrote back “Wow. Happy new year to you. I’ll leave it at that.” My friend insisted that I explain, so I said “I’m gutted about what you said to (friend).
He’s not replied. He sent me a Facebook invite to a beach trip today, but I am incommunicado on Facebook since NYE.
Have I done the right thing? I know I have because he shouldn’t have said that to her, every element is hurtful. What I’m worried about is that maybe his feelings were changing and I should have talked to him
Maybe he just panicked when she asked.
Thoughts? Please?

Yes, but do you think that his feelings for me might actually have been changing? And was it wrong of me not to talk to him about it before totally cutting him off? Right now it’s four days since I spoke to him at all.

January 6, 2014 at 8:51 am
Hi firefly. Im no expert but I do feel you did the right thing. It seem as if he doesn’t want to “claim you” but wants the benefits. Not speaking or texting him for a while will make him realize how much he wants you in his life and when you do respond to him you can then have a honest talk of what you want.
Firefly
January 7, 2014 at 10:13 am
Hi Gifts.
Yes. I feel very much like he wanted all the benefits of a girlfriend, with none of the responsibilities.
If his feelings were changing, I guess he will try to make things work. Of not, I am free to find someone who will be proud to call me his own.
Thanks for the reply. It means a lot. I talk tough and I feel strong today, but I’m bracing myself for the crash that may come when he doesn’t message me on the weekend. π

January 6, 2014 at 8:48 am
hi i read your story and maybe there is more to what he answered to your friend.. maybe like you said he got caught up and lied like you did when you said that you were just friends. Also your feelings on the spot might of clouded your judgment on what you texted him because it was quite harsh..like i mean he didnt even know why you were mad(i think) so maybe you should have talked to him and let him explain because the way you describe ur story..it seemed like he reallly felt something for you.
Anyways thats just my opinion and im no expert!
Good luck, and if it wasnt meant to be, youll find someone else:)

January 7, 2014 at 10:09 am
Hi Jessica.
Thanks for your reply. Yes, I do feel bad about it and it may seem harsh. I had been crying for hours by the time I sent him that message and it was probably a bit abrupt. I just had to get it out.
I did briefly explain and he would have known. It’s the only bad thing of the night.
I am six days into NC now and he hasn’t even bothered to ask me if I want to talk about it or make up in any way. I’d expect more from my best friend, let alone a lover.
Well see, only time will tell.
I very much appreciate your taking the time to reply. π

January 4, 2014 at 2:06 am
Just FYI: I have always cracked and messaged him in the past. Also, when we have a fight, he says he likes to leave me alone for a little while, because then we can talk rationally. So, him saying “I’ll leave it at that.” doesn’t mean he’s being an ass. His invite for today was made on the same day I sent these texts, so it’s likely that he thought I’d have calmed down by now.

my ex boyfriend and i were best friends for 6 years and we basically grew up together, then we developed feelings and we ended up dating for a year (most of it was long distance, but we would constantly visit each other every 2 weeks and call/text).. the first 2 months into our relationship i had found out he had to leave and i broke up with him because i didn’t know how i would handle the distance but i ended up going back to him after 2 days because i knew i loved him enough to make it work… 10 months after (2 weeks after our 1 year anniversary) he comes and tells me that since that breakup everything sort of went downhill and he hasn’t been able to love me the same way. he ended the relationship and it’s been nearly 4 months since then. 2 weeks ago he actually came to my place and told me he missed me as a friend and can not stand not having me in his life.. he had told me about a girl he went out with (a hookup) and i told him about a guy i was going out with (rebound)… he said that the girl could not compare to me and he knew after a week that she was not for him and he even told me i needed to end things with the other guy because he said i was settling.. i really love him and miss him and i would do anything to be with him, as i’ve truly grown and matured and even though he has to be in another city for the next 2 years because of university i would do anything to make it work.. he has to go to france next year for school which is going to be extremely difficult but then he goes back to the other city for a year which is not so bad. he felt terrible about the way he ended things and apologized to me, before i got home he was here talking to my mom about how much he cares for me and wants me in his life. but i can not stand to be his friend, i really want to be with him.. he’s my best friend but he’s honestly my soulmate too and i would do anything to make it work. please help me, i don’t want to see him with anyone else!

hey there, thanks for the post!
I have been dating this man for 14 months now. For the past 3 months things have not been easy. In Sept, i found out that he was married before and had twins (boys). After a difficult period I forgave him as he told me he was sure I’m the woman he has always wanted. He has been great, we love each other.
However, this has not been easy for me, I knw he loves me and he sees a future with me. I feel the same but I have fears. I feel like he is no longer open with me so I decided to break up with him on 29th Dec.
He asked me not to give up on him but my pride could not allow it. He asked me for dinner on 31st, I declined….he wanted to see me on 1st to give me some electronic gadgets he had bought for me, i refused. Now am regreting. We have been chatting but no calls.
I really miss him and I wish I didnt give up on him. Now am afraid he might also decide to give up on me as well and start the year afresh.
What should I do?

I have just been broken up with by my fiance he always breaks up with me when I make his mad or as he say be extra like I text too much. Anyway this time he didn’t spend new years with me and told me it was nice meeting me and said he wasn’t playing this time. Then I found out He was talking to some girl from my friend. Then he texted he her pics and said he was going start a relationship with her he never acted like this before I think he is either very serious about her or he is still mad at me for saying I’m gonna disappear on him. He said when I said that that we were done and he was tired of me saying stupid stuff out my mouth. He said he was tired of me saying sorry too. I said sorry and he was still very mad and said he wanted to be with the other girl. Idk if he is saying that to make me mad or to show he is serious because he never did that before. Even when we did break upits never lasted longer then a week or 2 so idk what to do. I told him that I changed and I can prove it and that’s just what I’m gonna do and he still responds when I call him babe idk. I’m just so hurt I can’t even cry because he always breaks up with me when he is mad but then gets back with me because he says he is never going anywhere. I don’t know what to do I feel like I lost him for real.

My b/f and I dated 5 months and to me everything was perfect. We had one disagreement over Thanksgiving but we talked it out (or so I thought). I went in for surgery on my shoulder. First day out of surgery, I checked our accounts (we met online) because I was putting together a 6 month anniversary book for him and I (since he said his relationships never last that long -there was my clue). Our accounts were both supposed to be closed and to my dismay his was open and active! I called him out on it and then he immediately broke up with me and said ‘he liked me’ but not in the same way I liked him.
His Excuses:
Then he said: our Thanksgiving argument made him mad, I was smothering (which I work all day on and have a hectic schedule, we barely saw each other and I gave him plenty of hang out with the boys time), he was a people pleaser, then he said it was him not me, he needed space, he was picked on as a kid and he has a set schedule he has to follow and I throw off that schedule…. then in the same breath he said he needed a break but didn’t want to break-up, and I said no.
This is the first time I ever heard him so emotional. I said I’m the same person he met 5 months prior, nothing has changed why wait till I’m hooked then to break-up like this? …. We didn’t talk for a week but i did send him a long message. He messaged me back with an equally as long message and we talked things over and the plan was to ‘wait’ till we see whatever issues he has to work out? In this message he said he was sorry for breaking up with me and he reiterated liking me and I was the only ‘normal’ girlfriend he ever had.
I wasn’t quite sure what we were waiting on then. BTW he denied any other females several times. So Christmas we talked again and I said Merry Christmas and he replied back but it was short. Then I kinda dropped a text I didn’t want to go into my 2014 like this… He never replied or said anything. I sent him a last text on new years, btw I was never mean or hateful in any of my texts. I said thank-you for 2013 I hope you find what you’re looking for this year. I did this because I didn’t want some dude to think I’m sitting idly by waiting for him (even if I am). Thinking about it… roles should be reversed… he should be waiting on me, he was the one with an active online account.
Anyways, so I’m going into NC mode…
I’m trying to get into Phd school. He is in the military. I fell in love with him. Until December, we had no bad moment. We had so much fun together!
I know all my friends are saying move on, and I usually can without a problem, but it was different this time. But was this all an act? If he comes back is it because he couldn’t get anyone else or is it cause he truly misses me? Does it sound like he is going to come back?

Hi
your story is exactly like mine as if we r talking abt the same person????This is freaky, specially mine started around the same time you broke off with ur bf… the only difference was he propose to me, but then took of and said he needs time cuz of one time argument with one of my relatives… it was crazy and im still trying to get over it.
THANKS Chris! I saw the light.
January 3, 2014 at 2:27 am
NM. After reading all these posts and blogs… I don’t want to be that girl following months of a system chasing a guy. I don’t think I want him back that badly. He can chase me from NC to CA when I go to school if he wants to, but he better find a book on how to get your ex girlfriend back…. Really… Who the gel breaks up with someone right after surgery. I know he blamed the issues on me… But I did my best to make him happy. If that’s not good enough… I could care less. I’ll get my doctorate one day and money can’t buy happiness… But… Rich and single is better than broke and single.

Hi I started a relationship with a man that was not honest about him being married. When he finally told me that he was married but was getting a divorce I felt so bad and cried because I just couldn’t believe that the man I was having a relationship was married and I was breaking a family. He has three kids with his wife and have been separated for three month. She lives with one of her friends and he claims he is filing for divorce because she told him that she no longer loves him. He tells me that he loves me like crazy and the last time we were together we had unprotected sex. I might be pregnant since I was ovulating. After we had sex I felt bad again and asked him to work on his marriage. I am heart broken because I actually fall in love with him. I have not had contact with him for three days but I miss him like crazy. I am scared that I might be pregnant and that he will never get his divorce. Don’t know what to do but just cry. Please help, I know he loves me or at least he sure played the part good that he did. Just don’t know what to do. Please help

I am not sure if this is where I ask for advice Chris? Or is there another posting board? I came across your site and was impressed, I was also somewhat distraught on how many women have been hurt and don’t have any support. To keep this as short as I can my ex boyfriend from middle school and high school that I never stopped thinking about yet alone tried to replace with boyfriends and to a degree my ex husband, I am not a school girl with a crush. Well this time last year he tracked me down on social media, I was hesitant, but he talked about us being together like a lifetime story and even texted pics he had eld onto for 15 years of me while with his wife and two children!! He hounded me and i fell again hard! Now during the past two months he has backed way off, rarely if ever texts me, I asked him what was he planning for new years? He told me in a short text going to a party, no invite nothing, my syomach turnedi was physically sick it hurt. I texted him backsaying i would like to spend it together but no reply. I fear i am back to that hopeless 15 year old who always went back to him no matter what! I need some objective advice please?

So yesterday something very weird happened..i went to the movies with my ex and some of our friends, and while we were watching he held my hand!
But after the movie break and while he was driving me home, he acted like nothing happened and he didn’t even talk about it!
I don’t understand what the hell was that?!!
I’m now distancing myself from him and giving him his space.
How should i act..this is so confusing!

So my exboyfriend and I are currently and have been in no contact for three months. We dated for three years and had a great relationship going. But one day he just acted distant for about two weeks then broke up with me. It’s been three months and he is acting cold. He is still not talking to me I haven’t contacted him and he is acting almost like I don’t exist, he followed me on social networks but doesn’t talk to me…? Is there hope after three months? Can I still get him back after three months? does he not miss me anymore? And I have already told you my story about the girl he “liked” which he talks my friend now supposedly he doesnt like. Why would he become friends with her? And about the girl he said about a month later when my friend asked he said no I have never liked her??? Now this mutual friend of ours he knows what ever he tells her she is going to tell me is this because he maybe wants me to wait around like honestly Chris I need advice!! I really miss him and want him back! Why is he acting like this is there still hope?

Hi Chris, I have a question: What if I managed to get him back, but only for 1.5 weeks after which he decided AGAIN that he is too busy for a relationship and just wants to be alone and do his work? Is it possible to get him back for a third time? What is your experience? Obviously I am going NC now, letting him sort himself out.

Just over a week ago, my boyfriend of 5 and a half years, out of nowhere, told me he “couldn’t do this anymore” and told me he still loved me but he couldn’t be in a relationship right now. We have been long distance for almost the last 3 years of our relationship. I have been struggling with depression and this has caused the most devastating breakdown I’ve ever had. I know you said no contact is important, but, every time I’ve attempted to talk to him about it to figure out what the heck happened, he will not respond to me. He’s only said he needs “space” and “time to himself” (because living halfway across the country isn’t enough space, obviously). I need to know what he’s thinking and if this is for good or just a “break.” My therapist even told me I needed to get closure. How am I supposed to get closure if he hides from me like a coward and refuses to talk to me?
This is the second time he’s done this to me. He cited the same bull crap reasons last time and used it as an excuse to sleep with other people and “party.” The last time was three years ago. I know he’s going to do that again. It makes me physically ill to think about him sleeping with someone else. I am 100% positive that he is the one for me and I desperately want him back. Please, please, please help me with this. I feel completely empty and like half of me has just been ripped away.

I think you should just go into NC for a while. Get your bearings back for a bit.

Thanks for getting back to me. I was trying NC when I stumbled across a picture he posted on Instagram of a new tattoo, which he got using the money he had saved for my engagement ring. I felt so betrayed. I had done such a good job at not blowing up at him, but when I saw that, I lost it. I went off on him in a text, but I believe he has currently blocked my number because he never read it. Since then, it’s been 4 days since I tried to contact him at all. Did I screw everything up by doing that?

So I broke up with my bf because he was over stepping his boundaries with his girlfriends and making me jealous for no reason. Anyways I broke up with him about a month ago. He texts me every now and then either telling me hes thinking about me our blaming me for abandoning him. Last text was him telling me how I should be nice to him because we were once together. Of course like an idiot I replied to all his texts messages. My friends tell me that I should stop replying to his texts and that will get him to call. I was wondering why ignoring his text messages is important and why it was wrong for me to reply? Also if I broke the no contact rule by replying to his texts is there a way I can get back on it or is it too late? Thank you

Sure there is a way but you really should complete the NC rule first.
