My boyfriend and I split up last August. He broke things off with me and decided he never wanted to speak to me again. Two weeks later he had involved himself with a married woman. I left him alone until he began contacting me again. He sent 2 emails, several texts to see if our daughters could have a play date, and called me twice. Finally I caved and him and I reminisced. He told me he still loved me. I asked about the married woman and he informed me that she moved in with him and is now divorcing her husband. I still love this man and never intended a breakup. He is with her and still reaching out to me. We even had sex 2 weeks ago. I dislike him and her so much that I told her. She got mad with him and they patched things up. Now he’s back to not speaking to me again. I feel awful. Is this relationship too far gone?

Is this the same married woman that lives two hours away?
Or was that another situation I answered today?

My boyfriend and I split last August. He told me he never wanted to speak to me again. Almost 2 weeks after we split he started seeing a married woman. She lived about 2 hours away and has now relocated to our area. She is going through the divorce process, they live together, and are obviously in a relationship. Even though I haven’t been in touch with him he has called twice, text me numerous times, and even showed up at my home on my birthday. Finally I responded 2 weeks ago after months of him contacting me. He told me he still loved me and is still in love with me. He said he’s not happy with her, just at peace. Peace is something we rarely had. We had sex. I hate the idea of this other girl so much that I told her. Now he is back to not speaking to me…again. At this point I’m disappointed in myself. I should have never slept with him. I still love and miss him. Why is he cutting me off again? Was he only interested in sex?

When you text your ex for the very first time what kind of things can you bring up? Like stuff that they used to like and whatever, memories about them? The example kind of confuses me.
admin
February 6, 2015 at 2:22 pm
Usually you want to build things up a bit more before you do that.
When you first bring up you want to bring up positive memories but nothing controversial (like the breakup.)

My ex and i ended our relationship pretty much deciding to be friends weighting more so on his side. Right now i havent so much applied the NCR but have been very short with him in a polite way and responding in a non timey manner. Thing is idk if i can just cut him off because i had already done this. Will what im doing still be effective? I really want him to realize the things he did wrong and that i am worth all the things i feel i deserve. Since ive been doing this he always texts and now is calling showing up at places close to where i am. Whats your advice?

Hi Chris
My boyfriend broke up with me 4 days ago.we were together 4 years.we had a huge argument and I said horrible things out of anger. I went to his place of work begging for forgiveness.after that I have not heard anything all he could say was its over. I miss him terribly and there are times when I wanna text him to tell him how much I miss him.do you think he will ever come back to me?

Hi Christ!
I was reading this but still confuse.
I broke off with him 3days ago (he could not be more commit to me) and start to go NC immediatly after I told him and his respond was he understand and that’s the end. Part of me knows that we will still be friend. I think one of my mistake is that it was not the first time i told him that and we always got back together with the same situation.
So i decided to cut him off but part of me still wants him back. And now he text me and ask how am i doing? What should i do? Should i still follow NC rules and reply him after 30days? Or should I reply back in few hours? What should i do?

Hi Chris. My boyfriend and I broke up 3 days ago. I was terribly shocked since we did not have any issues before that would lead to break up. We have been together for 2 years and it was “you and me against the world” relationship. our families are against us because we are second cousins. we have been through ups and downs despite our families trying to stop our relationship. His family is trying to blackmail him by disowning him or giving their company to charity. He’s pressured by his parents to be like this and like that. Not only for the church but for the company as well. We cried and begged for their approval. I mean, this is not a typical love story. He is my crush and eventually, we fell inlove. He is just the man I prayed for. All the things I want in a guy, it was him! We both gave our utmost effort and loved each other sincerely. What makes it difficult is that we are churchmates. I sing and play piano, he plays guitar. I see him every weekends. Now, i do not know what to do. He is not the typical guy. He is too sweet, tame and good to be true. He never cheated on me. He never failed to do romantic stuffs. He texts and updates me every now and then. I mean, he is perfect for me. Unfortunately, I was not able to appreciate him doing those stuff. Last December 2014, I got attached with other guy and started ignoring my boyfriend. So I lost attraction to him. But this January 2015, I realized that I still love him. He is my home. No matter what I do, I always come back to him. 🙁
What will I do now? I’m lost. He says he does not love me anymore, that he can’t see his future with me. All those things he said were contrary do the things he kept on saying for the time we were together. I do not know if he’s trying to hurt me intentionally for me to give up. My friends and relatives could not believe the reasons he said. It’s impossible and too shallow. Before, he cannot say “no” to me. I’m his everything. But, things changed 360 degrees!
What will I do? He’s just different and I do not know whether to believe his reasons of breaking up because I know he is never like that or just to simply give. But it just feels so weird. I know there’s something more to it. Help me 🙁

What was his reason for the breakup exactly?
MJ
February 6, 2015 at 12:11 am
He keeps on saying that he does not love me anymore, that he can’t sacrifice his future because of me (his reputation for the company and church might be affected if the people will know his in a relationship with his second cousin). He even said I’m not a girlfriend material (it’s the first time). I mean, everything he said was the complete opposite of what he keeps on saying for 2 years. I just could not believe it. I can see in his eyes, he’s lying and I know there’s a big reason to it. I just do not know whether to hold on or simply give up 🙁 I just love him

Hello i need your favor. I have been with my boyfriend for three years. He gave me everything. Love money and attention. But yeah it was my fault. I never appreciated him until he says he wanted some time and space. I begged him and pleaded him last year. We took time off for a month. Everything was fine. We had a long distance relationships and he was really busy with his works. He is a politician and really occupied with work. Sometimes i didnt understanding enough and demanding his attention. We have talked last night and decided to take things slowly and wanted me to be independent and get matured. I was needy clingy and so emotional about everything. Insecurities kills me. We have talked about this and we will only be back to normal relationship if i have resolved my personal issues. And we will be back together on this coming June though. But he still contact me sometimes, but as not as before we used to be. He wants me to focus on my life. What should I do now? Should i just wait or was this just an excuse for him to slip away from my life? I even asked him if he has somebody else but he refuses. He said wanna sorts things out and we will talk about out relationship on June though. What really matters now is focusing on life. Does he still love me? Please I need some advice.

Ok Chris. I have started the NC rule, but my boyfriend initially claimed that our relationship put him in a depression and later retracted his statement saying it was just a “funk” — he said this to me in person when I had to get all of my things from him. We had a wonderful 8 months together and our problems started out of no where mostly because it seemed uninterested and was angry all of the time for no real reason. I know now that he initially cut me off physically/intimately and then cut me off emotionally without really giving a reason. I am just wondering how to approach this situation after no contact has ended. He means the world to me, while other might view the situation as hopeless I know what we meant to each other. I know I could find someone new but I don’t want to, I know that he was it for me.
Any reassurance will help tremendously. I haven’t looked at his FB/LinkedIn anything since the 20th which was the last time I reached out to him, albeit sounding kinda of pathetic and desperate with the “i miss you, i want to see you’s”.

My boyfriend of over three years broke up with me one week ago today. He stumbled in drunk and told that me that it was over. Needless to say, I was in shock. We were planning on moving in together. He said he loved me but needs to be single. Since he was drunk, we texted the following day and solidified the breakup. I was not needy during conversation, but I was mean in my replies and hurt by him leading me on if that’s not what he wanted. He said he needs me in his life but not in that way. He ended it with “I hope you will text me tomorrow.” I said I won’t and got some last minute thoughts off my chest. I have not talked to him in six days and he has texted me four times saying how sorry he is, what a terrible person he is, and how he is not proud of what he did. One text even begged me to respond. I didn’t. Then three days ago he sent a text saying I hope you find the life and person you deserve. Nothing since. My question is why was he texting me twice a day begging me to respond when he was the one who broke up with me? And why did he stop? Should I have broken no contact?

Do you think the commitment scared him?
marie
February 3, 2015 at 2:18 pm
Yes I do. I actually was his first actual girlfriend (he’s 32) and we have had some minor issues in the past regarding this but with him suggesting we move in together, us being together at his place or the other every night, and things going so well I thought that we were past it. I really don’t understand and am quite heartbroken.

Hi, I broke up with my boyfriend 2 months ago and haven’t talked to him since then. We broke up because he thought I preferred my friends and studies over him, which actually is not true but I’m focused on getting the best marks to get to a great college. He broke up with me and also I wanted to break up because he was too controlling and obsessive with me. Now he’s all the time tweeting things like “Revenge”, “Don’t get mad, get even” and that stuff. When we see each other we never look in the eyes, he seems to be so over me and it’s hard to believe it when he showed me how much he loves me, we dated for 8 months and now I miss him but I don’t know if I should talk to him or not, I have to see him everyday in high school and it’s kinda awkward also his cousin is there and spends all the time looking at me. I don’t know, I really miss him and I don’t know what to text him if I ever decide to do it. We met with a text too where I said “Call me M”, i called him to ask me to tell me a joke and he said that was when he knew he had fallen in love. Help please?

Hi, I’d like to know if 30 days NC is necessary for a dating relationship that lasted for 5 or 6 weeks? If not, how long do you recommend?
Thank you!
admin
February 3, 2015 at 1:02 pm
21 days in that case.

January 31, 2015 at 6:15 am
I implemented your no contact for 30 days and reached out via text. His response was extremely positive and much more pleasant than I expected. He showed his appreciation for me texting him and complimented me and even inquired about my family? I cut it short like you suggested and said I was eating with friends and will talk to him later which he did not respond to. I contacted him again 2 days later via text with a simple short one It has been 12 hours and no response, however, he has been active on facebook with postings.
Now Im kinda sad, I think maybe I screwed up? maybe he got annoyed that I cut him off so quickly the first time or shall I wait another week and reach out again. What if he is done with me?
admin
January 31, 2015 at 4:03 pm
No you didn’t screw up.
Give it another try in a few days or so. Make sure your starter texts are solid though ok.

I was dating this guy for only 3 weeks… it normally takes me a while to be comfortable around someone and really let them in to completely see ME. During the 3 weeks we got so close, he has all qualities I’d ever wanted in a guy, he’s sweet, attentive, old fashioned (always picked me up for dinner type of thing) would come over and bring me a plate of food his mom made, he’s completely family oriented, loves kids, smart, good job… and physically I was completely attracted to him. We never slept together, I tend to wait a while just cause I find it’s not something to share with someone you’ve just met and he feels the same way. Things did get quite hot some times and he would be the one stopping. Anyways we were like best friends from the get-go. Both have same sense of humour, able to be serious when we needed… we even did some repairs in my place as a team. So yes we were always lovy duby but were also able to work as a team I guess u can say. The issue is, we are getting to know one another and when he did something or said something I didn’t like I would get mad right away (I have to work on that I know) so only once did this happen when he said something and ticked me off and it was by text. I don’t remember what it was but I showed I was upset by saying we should re-schedule our dinner plans, he got worried and texted right away No Please don’t do this I really like you don’t end something good. and then sent more messages saying he understood it was wrong, he’s sorry, he really doesn’t want me ending what we started. So I calmed down and forgave him and we went about our plans… 2 weeks go by and I MESS UP! so I met him on a website, I was going on the website to delete my profile since my friend told me it was still showing up! I thought I had deleted it properly. While on there, I saw his profile saying he was online that week. So I texted “Didn’t know u were still looking” he said he wasn’t. I said “kinda hard to believe I hope u can understand that since it shows as u being online” he said oh wait I think I know why… he turned on his laptop and figured out that when he does this is automatically signs him in without being on that website. So I said OK it’s fine I was just asking cause I would rather know. He flipped saying I was calling hi a liar cause of my comment “kinda hard to believe…” yet I had said that before he explained or figured out his laptop signs him in automatically. He kept going on how if I don’t trust him he’s got nothing else to say… 2 days go by of silent treatment then I texted saying I was sorry to have upset him or hurt him making him feel like I was calling him a liar or not trusting him but this was not my intentions at all as I said the comment before he explained. He said that had I said “ARE U STILL LOOKING” instead of “DIDN”T KNOW U WERE STILL LOOKING” he wouldn’t of gotten upset. For this he feels 95% of our conversations had someone upset or mad…. and he doesn’t want a relationship where it’s always arguing and fighting or being upset. So we as much as he wasn’t happy he needed to end things with me, felt it was best. So I said that 2 small silly misunderstanding is not 95% of our conversations and I find he’s exaggerating a lil and that I wish he wouldn’t be doing this and so instead of wishing him good luck and shutting my door I will seal it with a kiss (We promised from day 1 that we wouldn’t got to bed upset, that we would fix whatever issue and seal it with a kiss)
So he responded ” I’m not sure what to say” This was his last text 2 days ago and I haven’t responded since I’m not sure if I should. Does he really want things to be over?? I’m thinking if he wouldn’t want things to be over that he was really upset he would have by now come back to me to say lets jump over this lil bump and forget about the silly misunderstanding – he hasn’t. I really like this guy, like he has said while breaking up he has never cared this way about anyone so early on in a relationship.
I’m lost, sad, feel silly cause it’s a 3 week relationship yet he meant a lot to me. Any advice on what I should do? or should I just let him go?

I think in your cas since your relationship was so short you can shorten the NC rule.
