Hello, my ex and I have dated for almost two years. We have probably liked each other for a year before we started dating. We started dating near the end of high school and I’m in college now. We were both going through stressful times about a month before we broke up, but we never really addressed it. We didn’t see each other often because I had school. About a month and a half ago, he broke up with me saying that he was tired of fighting. We still stayed in contact and have slept together three times. He was always the first to initiate contact. I have made it clear that I want to get back together and I’m willing to work things out, but he says that he is scared that we will just eventually start fighting again. He doesn’t want to hurt me and he doesn’t want to go through the hurt again. I should mention that his past relationship was very toxic and they always fought.

We barely fought when we were together and we understood each other pretty well, but the past month of our relationship was stressful for the both of us. He still wants to talk and have me in his life, but I want him back and am confused with how he feels about me. What should I do and how do I get him to realize that this relationship could work out if we both try hard enough?

I just feel that our relationship had never been bad until the stressful period. We had barely fought before then and were pretty happy. There were just times where I know it could’ve been better, but I always thought that we’d eventually get through it. But I realize now that we always kept things bottled up instead of sharing why we were angry.

How do I go from just talking and hanging out to making him realize that this is a relationship that could be saved with just a little bit of extra effort?

My boyfriend of over a year broke up with me about a month ago, and what was once an amazing, healthy, and loving relationship has become desperately needy almost over night. I’m worried that I ruined any of my chances of getting back together with him, even though he seems to still value me as a person and wants to remain close friends. The first 12 hours post-break up I called him multiple times and left messages and texts, then gave up and gave him space. When he called the next day we agreed that things can’t go back to the way things were but we don’t want to be out of each other’s lives so we should be friends. That quickly devolved into flirting, which he started to feel guilty for and he pushed me away again, saying he doesn’t know what he wants. I told him that it was probably best that we not talk so I can get over things and gave a timeline of 3 days, which I didn’t really stick to. We started talking again, then flirting, then guilt, then no contact for like 5 days. On Christmas Eve I told him I didn’t want to be on bad terms during the holiday, let’s start talking. Then we started flirting and out of the blue he told me that he couldn’t get over me and that he was still in love with me and he begged me not to get over him, but still said nothing about being in a relationship with me. I was over the moon, ignoring the last part, and we started texting and flirting and skyping constantly. This quickly reignited the physical aspect of our relationship and I agreed to meet up with him half way between where we lived over the break (an hour and a half away for both of us), and we couldn’t keep our hands off each other. After that day he pulled away again, but I didn’t let myself freak out and eventually we were back to where we were before we met up. When school started again things were okay and we spent the night together, and then the next morning I could tell something was just off… I called him that night and told him we should really try to talk about things since we hadn’t really had a chance to yet. I was going to tell him that we shouldn’t be physical until we’re in a relationship again because it makes things too complicated, and he agreed saying that he was feeling incredibly guilty because he wasn’t able to commit and he felt like he was leading me on. We agreed to be friends, but things were suddenly very awkward and it felt like the break up started all over again. I’ve made a lot of mistakes this past week, including but not limited to going over to his dorm multiple times to “talk” about our relationship which usually ended in me crying, going on a date with another guy and telling him about it to make him jealous, making a comment about wanting him back in almost every conversation we have, and admitting to him that I have been severely depressed since the break up and exaggerating the steps I’ve taken to combat that (though I am going to see a therapist because I realize this last part is not at all healthy). I know I’ve come off as pathetic, and weepy, and desperate. He still says he doesn’t know what he wants and occasionally expresses feelings of regret. He still says that he loves me, and whenever I’m upset he will place his hand on my knee or grab my hand or hug me. We have kissed on multiple occasions in moments after pulling away from physical contact. It feels sincere, but I’m unsure of whether or not I’m being played and unknowingly allowing myself to become a backburner girlfriend. It feels too late to start with a complete no contact, since we’re almost successfully maintaining contact as friends. He has also expressed that he was glad that we stayed in contact throughout the break and if we hadn’t talked we wouldn’t even be able to be friends. I want to follow all of the advice I’ve found online, but I don’t know where our current relationship would fit in typical step by step guides, and it feels too late and wrong to start over. I don’t want to push him away, but I also want to show him that I’m moving on and become more like the woman he fell in love with so he starts to chase me instead of me chasing after him. I want him to overcome this wishy washy not knowing what he wants so that we can be together, but I don’t know if I’ve given him reason to believe that he can continue to leave me on a string without making a commitment. I don’t think no contact would do anything but cause problems at this point, but would letting him be the one to contact me first, waiting to respond, and mirroring his tone be a better fit for our particular situation?

me and my boyfriend broke up ( he is the one took decision ) for no return back as things will never workout cause of major families issues out of our hands .. we were deeply connected to one another and we are both suffering there is no contact between us and both of us have no intentions of getting back together ,, but i want him to regret me for the rest of his life as i feel he didnt fight enough for me he was weak .. we are using the same account on Soundcloud.com after 2 month now found that he changed the name of my playlist to Mylove and added some heartbreaking songs to it for me to hear so i added a song to remind him of our last intimate time then he added another song exactly saying that he is suffering, regretting and in pain forever … i didnt react back .. i dont know what he means by that but am sure he has no intentions of getting back as we both have a huge obstacle we would never overcome i believe he is looking for a comfort and that am still there loving him so he feel safe ( in our breakups he was always scared me going away from his life and can never be able to reach ) .. so my questions are:
why is he doing this ? .. how can i keep him in this regretting mode ? if i completely ignored he will suffer for a while then move on and i will loose my value of being the only one made him always feel safe … i was thinking of replying with a msg that i feel his pain and we will always be connected inside no matter how apart we became .. what do u think ?

Hi Koko,

actually that only just makes him feel somebody is still loving him but that doesn’t mean he loves you.. If you really want him to regret..improve yourself..Success is always the best revenge

Hi,

So my boyfriend broke up with me a little over a week ago because he started smoking a couple of months ago.. I wasn’t happy with it but It was never a reason for me to break up with him. We compromised that he wouldn’t smoke infront of me or before he saw me because I don’t like the smell. Long story short, he felt like he wasn’t able to be free and broke up with me. I did fall into the trap and tried to messaged him constantly telling him that we can resolve things etc and that I was sorry and I’m able to come to terms and let him have his freedom. And he still is not keen on getting back even though other than that, we were so in love and I still love him so much and I’m sure he still loves me.. Help.

So my ex decided to tell me we have nothing in common and I don’t make him happy anymore. He ran for the weekend to new Hampshire where he needed to clear his head. He obviously wanted to date his friend tricks and couldn’t be honest said there is no one else. Instead of fixing us he left and that was it. Now he’s with the girl and called me to tell me we didn’t work out because I was the one to be blamed when hes the one who cheated on me and wasn’t honest. Do you think he feels guilty over what he has done.

Serene

January 14, 2017 at 3:18 am

1) 30 days no contact – if he contacts me before within the 30 days, do I reply? Or ignore till 30 days are over?
2) we have a concert & a play within these 30days that we had planned before this cold period. He is my plus one. Do I contact him and ask if him if he will be coming? I’m holding the tickets.
Thank you

January 14, 2017 at 3:54 pm

Hi Serene,

if you’re going to do the no contact rule, that means not replying, not initiating contact, no social media stalking and of course no seeing him.. You can only do that if it’s about important matters like children, materials that really needed to be exchanged during nc but a concert is not really an important matter..

My boyfriend of 8 months broke up with me 4 days ago. He is 10 years younger than I am and he had to move in with his parents due to a recent major surgery. The major problem is his parents. He has had somewhat of a strained relationship with them and they are OVER THE TOP controlling of him and they are now paying his bills and taking care of him temporarily. So they sort of have all control. They do. It want him communicating with me at all even if it were just a friendship. They are christians, which I am too, but they are the holier than though type and they don’t see me as what they pictured for their son. Although they never met me or given me a chance at all. It’s the age difference (38/28) amongst other things. I have been there for this man since day one and some major things have happened. He feels like he can’t date me, timing is horrible, doesn’t want to string me along until timing is better and flat out doesn’t think he will ever have his parents blessing. I didn’t contact him for 2 days post break up, but I broke down and did yesterday. I texted him a lot, mainly because I’m so hurt. I feel like I’ve lost my best friend and the thought of never having him in my life is like someone punching me in my gut. He responded a bit by saying it’s pointless to go down that road. He said he thinks about me all of the time and it hurts, but pretty much that doesn’t chance the situation. Some of me thinks not contacting him would make him realize what’s he’s missing and want to “fight” more for us, but some of me thinks he’s so strong willed it may not matter. Help!

Dolores

January 10, 2017 at 12:21 pm

My ex broke up with me 3 weeks ago. Since then we have still texted almost every day and seen each other several times. I feel as if this is not getting me to the place that I want to be – which is back together. I feel that no contact is the best course of action, however feel that I need to include a final message prior to initiating. I am thinking something along the lines of, “I am finding that our continued interaction at this time is preventing me from fully moving on. I think it is best if we take a break from chatting for a couple of weeks.” This is not the exact wording that I would like to use, do you have any suggestions? Also, do you think that instituting no contact at this point will help?
He has already stated things that he misses about our relationship, however it still doesn’t seem to be getting me to the finish line of us being back together. Appreciate any and all suggestions.

Hi Dolores,

if you’re going to message him, leave it at “the current set up is not working for me. Sorry, I can’t stay friends with you. Let’s move on.” Don’t mention any timeline of until when you’re going to do nc.

My ex and I was together for a month and a week. I admitted something to him that happened at the beginning of our relationship. I want to know if I try all you said, will it still work judging by the short time we had together? Can I still get him back? Oh I love him so much!

Hi Milly,

there’s no guarantee that it will and the shorter the relationship the less chance of getting it back

Hello, my bf and I split up a week ago. I contacted him almost 3 days of not speaking to him bc of a drunken night out for my girl’s birthday… he didn’t reply, I got upset and just told him exactly everything that went wrong in the relationship and why. I told him it’s okay he needs space, bc I do too. I pretty much gave him two weeks to reach out or leave it be. Still no response. He’s very stubborn and has left before and came back a month after I had my daughter. We split for almost 6 months then. He got with another girl and I became a text “gnat”… (Sorry, I couldn’t help it and didn’t find this site until after damage was done). Now, here I am a year and a half later dealing with the same issue. He makes leaving so easy it seems. I have restarted my NC and have no desire to text him right now bc I’m pretty much busy with kids, work and my own problems. Going on day 4. I do miss him and love him very much, but his no response and how stubborn and mean he can be makes me think twice. I’m confused really. I’m scared if I wait the 30 days and build myself up, he’s going to do something that hurts me without knowing it. Seeing another woman maybe? He doesn’t even want to see me. He has his mom make contact with me and exchange kids. He didn’t text me much during the relationship, but it has changed over the years. We used to be so close. With bills, the kids, fighting over stupid stuff… it’s all made us really dislike each other. We grew apart and now I’m afraid this is all irreversible. I want to be the UG and I know I can do this NC, but is it too late? It’s been so broken lately even before he left. Did I screw my chances up by messaging him drunk and being desperate? How do I make a good comeback after this? Please help! God bless.

Hi Sally,

if the relationship has been broken, that means even if you dont do nc, he will still date if he wants to and the only other choice is to totally move on.. So, the best approach is to move on from the previous relationship..consider it as it is..broken.

And then now, change. Improve yourself, have a new routine as a single mom, co parent with him..When you’ve changed to be more rational, settled in your new routine, slowly start rebuilding the relationship by being friendly at first. This will all depend on you on how long it will take but realistically, it will take more than 45 days. He has to think you’ve really moved on

I’m 36 weeks pregnant with my third boy. My fiancé broke up with me of 2 1/2 years together the other day. I’ve never been so hurt in my life. He broke up with me because I let another man shave me down there because I’m pregnant and couldn’t see. He considered it a form of cheating. When we first got together, I kissed a girl and he said that’s cheating so that was my second chance. This was the last straw. He says he will never stop loving me and he forgives me and maybe later on down the road he will come back but not to get my hopes up. He wants me to change and get my shit together. I’m so hurt. I ruined our family. But I will not give up and throw this away. I will do what it takes to get him back. I just don’t want my hopes up. I want my family back so bad. He’s 21 & I’m 25. We were suppose to get married in February 2017. Please help. I’ll do anything. I am due any day and the stress isn’t helping. You know how hard it is to have the love of your life walk out on you and the kids while you’re pregnant after promising to be with you forever 2 months until your suppose to get married? It is so hard and painful. Makes me feel sick and worthless. Throwing away 2 1/2 years of happiness away. Now I have to eventually try and trust and meet someone new and start all over. Someone good enough for my kids and I. It hurts. I wish he’d come home and realize How sorry I am. I wish he’d regret this. I don’t know what to do. I ended up self harming too the day he left me. This pain is just so painful.

Elaine

December 14, 2016 at 1:28 am

I broke up with my ex 2mos ago because I believed he had been emotionally cheating on me. He was in fact.

Just last month we talked about making things work. Well, one day we got into an argument because he believed I had lied about changing myself so we could work out. He told me I was lonely, and was only trying to put on a show to get him back. Then he proceeded to tell me that he wanted me to drink and smoke more. I declined, and he got upset saying how I used to do it all the time. Well, he said we would talk about it later and left my house in a pissy mood. That same day, I found out he had been texting some other girl. Fast foward 3 wks later, and now they are in a relationship. I heard he posted his status on fb. We were together 2 years, and he never posted our status on fb. We agreed to take things slow as he had been severely hurt. We didn’t want to rush things.

Why would he jump into another relationship after we had a disagreement? We were just talking about making thing works, and he was even coming over for the past week to see me. Everything seemed good until he got upset that I wasn’t too happy about his recent drug habit, the excessive drinking and the fact he told me he was going to be out with friends til 7 am every night. He told me I should be happy to have him in my life. That argument was very hurtful, but what hurt even more was that he jumped into another relationship, with another girl.

I am in the mist of NC right now, and have suspended his line as I was paying for it. I found out I had been paying for him to talk to his new flame.

I can’t get over how he jumped into another relationship right off the bat when it took us months before we became official. I can understand if we hadn’t talked in awhile, but we were just talking about making things work, and happened to have a disagreement.

Hi Elaine,

You should move on from him… or at least let a long time pass, really change and then if you are going to reconnect, take things slow. But honestly, that’s not the kind of relationship you would want to go back to.

Hi,
my boyfriend broke up with me just couple of days ago, we had 4 month relationship, i was so good and nice person to him, i gave him his space, never nagged on him to go out with friends when he didn’t feel like it, just doing the things he wanted instead, he was kinda anti-social, always has issues at work, with his family… he never stops complaining! despite all of that, i was there to comfort and support him, until recently i couldn’t take it anymore when he disappeared for almost 2 weeks not answering my calls or texts! when he finally answered me and agreed to meet,we started fighting over this and had a huge argument when he said he doesn’t work to be in a relationship with me! i was shocked i cried i begged him for another chance .. he just left! i started calling him like crazy he didnt answer at all.. the next morning i woke up and found out he blocked me from everything! facebook, phone, whatsapp …

my question is, why would i do the no contact thing if he has blocked me !! how am i gonna text him after the no contact if he still blocking me ?? i need your help please.

Shawan22

December 14, 2016 at 9:46 pm

Not at all, i didn’t try to contact him after the breakup or anything. i just went crazy and called constantly few hours after the breakup because i was in shock and i hated myself for doing that! even if he didn’t block me the next morning .. i wasn’t planning to call or text back. but waking up the next morning to see he’s had a full block on me made me insane! i really wanna make him regret.. but i wonder if he will ever regret since he was the one who cut all contact in the first place.
EBR Team Member: Amor

December 15, 2016 at 10:29 am

That’s good. Just improve yourself and be active in posting even if you’re blocked because once he’s less annoyed, he will be curious on what you’ve been doing..
EBR Team Member: Amor

December 14, 2016 at 7:40 pm

Hi Shawan22,

so, does that mean you’re going to keep trying to contact him even if you’re blocked? Even if you don’t want to do the no contact rule, it looks like you don’t have much of a better choice. And he ghosted you, and yet you were the one who begged? Get up from that, and start healing and improving yourself instead. Make him regret.

Hi, I need advice
My boyfriend of 8 months broke up with me two days ago. We were on a “break” for the last month of our relationship because we had some fights over stupid things that led him to want to think for a while and then speak after some weeks to make things better. During the break I didn’t contact him at first for a whole week, it was a LDR, so when he saw I was in his town (for work) on snapchat he sent me an angry text because I didn’t let him now. I replied that he wanted a break and that I was just giving him space (my mistake, I guess I should have not answered anyway) from that day we exchanged some casual texts during the break but not too much (3-4 messages a week, talking about work)
Two days ago, he called me to tell me he finally made his decision and while he really likes me as a person and enjoys talking and spending time with me, he didn’t have real feelings for me, didn’t see a future with me and was thinking of me as a great friend and not girlfriend and didn’t want to hurt me more..
I was upset because we were suppose to talk about our relationship to fix it and I was doing everything to move to his city to have a normal relationship again (the first 3 months weren’t long distance cause we were both living together in Asia) then we had two months appart in different countries, spoke everyday on the phone, and when we were both back in our country we managed to see each other 3-4 time a month. Then the break happened and I feel like we didn’t give a chance to this relationship because it was essentially LD for a while..
sorry for the long post but my question is will no contact work in my situation to get him back? Even though it’s long distance and he sees me as a friend? One month ago he was mad at me because he said I wasn’t really serious about him. I was, I was just trying not to be clingy and needy and not talking about future to not scare him away.. he told me after the break up that we could still talk everyday and he’d always be there for me blah blah blah.. I don’t want to be his friend..
help please ? 🙁

(Sorry for my English)

March 13, 2017 at 12:26 am

I’m shocked. It was exactly the same in my situation. One month with a “brake” then he said, that he doesn’t love me, but wants to be friends with me and if I need help I can always call him. By the way, we were as well in a LD.
Kate

January 9, 2017 at 5:18 am

Hey
My ex bf said the same thing with your ex told you ! But I was not on LD. The most reasons he broke up with me is i didn’t meet him much even when he asked me to, and he dislike how I trivialised his feeling sometimes, men needed to feel needed and admired, I guess you didn’t tell him you are in the same city with him so he felt you didn’t need him, he won’t think you can make him like fall in love, also my ex told me he still like me as a person better to be friends blah blah …….. but I was shocked how your ex said the same thing with my ex said lol

If you want to communicate and share experiences you can email me :[email protected] .cn 🙂 hope you can get your ex back Good luck

November 30, 2016 at 5:17 am

I (assumed) that I broke up with my boyfriend last week after I caught him getting in dating sites. He said that he did that because I’m planning to continue my study to master degree next year, he doesn’t want long distance relationship. He can not wait because he said that he’s too old (33 years old) & want someone who he can settle down with in the near future. He said, when I back from master study at much 26th & we’re still singles, he want to get married with me. But right now, he wants to stay open for chance with other woman. I was upset because he didn’t think that this 10 months relationship is worth to fight for & be serious about. But It was also my fault that during the relationship I was so needy. I’m feeling disrespected. I don’t want to be left this way, but 30 days no contact is kind of difficulty because he’s helping me with my master degree essay right now, at least until the next 2 weeks. What should I do? Please help .

If he needs it, you can just talk to him about it on what is the best way for him to get it. If not, you can give it when you’re already building rapport.

So my boyfriend of a year and a half broke up with me three weeks ago, saying that he felt that he had changed. He said that he didn’t love me the way he used to and he said he was unsure if he even knew what love was. He said that it was nothing about me that made him feel this way, he just slowly lost his love for me. This made him lose the desire to love someone and be in a relationship. So, I don’t really expect him to go and start dating other girls right away, but I just can’t seem to understand how he is really feeling. I admit I have been a gnat for the past three weeks, and today I’m starting with no contact. When I did text him he would explain that he didn’t know how else he could explain his feeling. He said that he cared deeply about me and wanted me move on and find happiness. I was confused because we never really had any major issues in our relationship that made either of us unhappy. In fact, he said that he was at his happiest when he was with me. He also said he would miss “some aspects” of our relaationship. He wants to stay my best friend. I want to keep him in my life as well, but I want him to see me the way he used to see me. I want to be the one who can make him happy again because his happiness made me happy. I mean, of course this wasn’t the only thing that made me happy, but I did focus a bit too much on my relationship with him and not enough on my relationship with my friends. I’ve learned from the minor mistakes we made in our relationship, but I want the chance to be able to show what I’ve learned in OUR relationship. Not one with someone else in the future. I go to school with him and he seems so okay with the breakup. Even his friends think he seems okay. He’s also been a lot more social now that we’ve broken up. He never had any social media and I had always asked him to get it (I had given up and realized that was not who he was and accepted that) but then he texted me a few days ago saying that he got snapchat (which is a social media that I don’t have). I’m just trying to understand what’s going through his mind. I want him back so bad because he was such a special person in my life and truly made me happy. We have lots of similarities (differences too). I’m really hoping non contact works. If it doesn’t work to get him back, I hope it helps me focus on myself rather than him.

I’m not sure really because towards the end we didn’t really have very much time together. He seemed to want to be alone more, so maybe. I just can’t seem to find something on here that describes trying to get someone back in a situation where he already told me he would miss me and that he still cared about me, he just doesn’t feel like relationship is in his best interest right now. Maybe you know of one that I haven’t found?

My fiancé broke up with me 2 weeks ago. He said that we’re going down two different paths and that we didn’t have anything in common anymore. He asked me “where do you see us in the new year?” And I said I don’t know. Because I’ve been going through cancer for the past year and a half. And the thing is that i still care about him and I want to change for him. But when he broke up with me he did say I’m so sorry and that he cried. And that I would like us to be friends. He got a job promotion and he works in the weekends sometimes, but I’m thinking what did I do to make him break up with me? But I believe we didn’t communicate well. All I wanted is for him to be happy. After a week of us not speaking I texted him to see how he was doing and the job going. And he replied, we play an online game with a group of people from work and we all talk. My question is that should he regret breaking up with me or not. I’m stuck in the middle.
