OK.
Weirdest day ever. I have no idea if its just me thinking its weird or whether there is something to it…

So, I came back from to my hometown as Uni semester has finished. I’ve been out and about for about a week meeting up with some old friends, occupying myself -having a detox from Facebook, but still being tagged in a few things since I’ve been here.

Today, I ask my girliefriend to meet up. So her and her boyfriend (who is also a longtime friend of mine but also a friend of my ex) met up to enjoy some sunshine. We discussed who else we could ask to hang out, a name popped up and I suggested a mutual friend of ours who I bumped into a few nights ago and had a pleasant chat with (the boys are all mutual friends of mine and my ex-boyfriend)

So nothing more was said, I turned up, my girliefriend and her boyfriend, I noticed they only brought themselves so assumed it’d be us three…which it was for like 20 minutes..
We saw my ex, his best-friend, and the guy I suggested we invite to hang out walking by..so I think, oh, no wonder he didn’t come out with us, he was out with them and obviously he’d rather pay loyalties to the ex. Awkward momemt (me and my ex both blocking each other at the momemt, the ex’s best friend loved me at first and then near the end of the relationship reeeeeally disliked me -conflict of personalities?)
So i think…ok they’ll walk past, we’ll move on. And then I notice that the three of them are walking towards us… to join us..
Weird. Awkward. Why.
The ex wants to block me…so why is he here? And his best friend who avoided being in a room with me in the past turned up too? What? Why would they bother coming. But hey, time to be civil and fake some smiles.
So we all say hi. My ex sits near to me. Me and him didn’t share conversation directly…but were part of a group one. I didn’t make any really eye contact but tried not to seem overly distant…ex mentioned he has work in an hour, so that made me wonder why he’d even come.. I don’t know…you’d probably leave early if you’d know you were all about to meet an ex of yours.
In that moment a good friend of mine messaged me that he was in town so I thought the universe was giving me a way out so i TOOK IT. i said to my friend ‘oh I’ll be back in 10-15′ minutes, bye’. (OK. I wanted to get out of the situation so metaphorically and maybe literally ran away – but walked).
I said bye, the ex called out bye to me along with the others….
I was gone for 45 mins with the other group of friends and then I returned to my awkward situation (the ex left for work) but his best friend was still there with the others…
And immediately as I was sitting down the ex’s best friend was TALKING TO ME. actually….being nice, friendly, laughing with me. Now he was like this when I first met him, but this guy even un-friended me after me and the ex broke up so. He really resented me for some reason that is unclear to me. But NOW he was making am effort….a good one. So I went along with it.

Mind….blown.

That is the end of my tale.
Please tell me what that could have possibly been about? Or is that just a weird day to draw a line under?

No. I don’t think so. Except saying bye as i left. However I didn’t stay longer than 15 minutes really.

We started getting back together then I screwed up by keeping secrets from him which is what had ended it with us in the first place. I didn’t know that’s why he was mad and tried to fix things with him anyway. He blocked me on whatsapp, etc. I gave him space and after a couple of months, I sent him a voice message and told him I was sorry for how bad things had got between us, I hoped he was doing well and I missed him. He texted back a week later thanked me for my message and said he he was glad it seemed I was doing well. I sent a thank you and asked what he had been up to, etc. no response.

He called completely randomly about a month later and we chatted for maybe an hour. Nothing major, mostly casual but good talk. A few days later, he called again, we talked a bit longer than the last time and again, nothing major, mostly casual but good talk. He ended the call because people came in and he had to go but his last words to me were “we’ll talk later?”

That was 3 months ago. Since then he hasn’t called, answered my texts, answered my calls, responded to my emails, etc. The only thing I can think of is that he wanted me to say something about the problems from before during one of the times we talked which I would have but it seemed too soon to bring up. What do I do?

What kind of secrets did you keep? How bad are we talking here?

Basically I caused drama by trying to handle everything on my own in the background to try to avoid drama

The first time I was going through serious family/financial problems and someone who was supposed to be one of my best friends was causing me a lot of drama. I was embarrassed and I didn’t want him to think I was high maintenance/drama so I didn’t tell him what was going on and acted like a spazz instead.

The second time, I fell into a habit of being passive aggressive towards him when I was upset instead of telling him what was wrong or that I was still hurting from before. He tried to make friends with someone I was involved in in a work project in order to have a reason to be closer to me. I didn’t want him to think I was jealous or trying to create drama by telling him to stay away because I don’t like or trust that person. I found out she was trying to rip him off and I tried to stop it rather than tell him. I also told him what happened with my friend who caused me so much drama the first time he and I were together, he found out I was talking her again and was mad about it and that I didn’t tell him that was. What he didn’t know is we were only talking because I needed closure, we’ll never be friends again.

I get what I did wrong/ what I should have done but I have no idea what to do to fix it? How can I get him to even talk to me?

Ok he hasnt block my number on phone…I tried once to call him and it went through but of course he wont answer…is it a good sign though??? I am blocked on several chats but not my phone number as I figured out. Why he doesn’t block me if he doesn’t want to talk to me and answer the phone

admin

April 1, 2014 at 5:19 pm

Very good sign!
honey

April 1, 2014 at 6:48 pm

Ok but IF it is a good sign why you think its a good thing? I mean he wont pick up anyway. Could xou please explain it short, Chris?
admin

April 2, 2014 at 5:22 pm

It/s good b/c the possibility of him contact you is still there. If he blocked you on everything that is a very big statement saying leave me alone.
honey

April 2, 2014 at 5:33 pm

Yea I see!!! True! But then should I do another month of nc??? I already made it in the beginning after the break up, then contacted and spamed him with texts and emails. He never responded. So he wont trust in my action anymore I guess and maybe he just see it through? He will probably think, aaahhh after her silence the same spamming s gonna start again! So what do I do? Without risking him to forget about me. I mean its been already 3 months now!!!:-(
honey

April 1, 2014 at 7:09 pm

Btw its been 3 months now since he blocked me on chats! Since then I tried several emails…plenty of text msgs…nothing worked so far. What you recommend now???? Another nc time???? Please help

So Chris… I am commenting on this site for the first time but I have read every word you have written until now. I want to share my experience:

My ex and I are in a long distance relationship. He blocked me when I was doing the NC thing on him – probably wanting to “get back” at me as a desperate measure… and what a party pooper- he blocked me on Valentines Day! Imagine the cheek! I couldn’t sleep the whole night- I also cried a little- but I am quite stubborn and didn’t break the NC! You know- “we don’t negotiate with terrorists”. Post blocking me, he messaged me to “inform” me that he has blocked me “just in case I hadn’t noticed.” lol. Then when I didn’t respond even to that- he called me twice and again I didn’t pick up – so he resorted to commenting on statuses I had commented on, so that I get a notification- and mostly were comments indirectly directed at me! I still ignored.
After NC was over, and I had gorgeous pictures of myself and fun stuff- all my travel, work achievement, weddings I had gone to- all over my wall, I contacted him- he was SO happy, so happy that he thanked me for contacting him and even added me back the same night. After NC, he stopped making those hurtful comments and snide remarks at me too. I had him almost eating out of my hands…
Except that he was still not ready to commit. He kept telling me that he’s been out with other girls- to the extent of asking me- “Are you jealous, yet?” I was enraged, but kept concentrating on myself. He wanted to “remain friends” from his side but keep a tab on who I was meeting or hanging out with. He would keep wanting to have Skype sex (and each time he’d say that, I’d stop speaking to him for a bit… and then he slowly stopped saying it). Another angle here was that I am from India and his family is really very keen on us getting married and were banking on me to sort of “close the deal” so there was a lot of calls I’d get from his mom asking me about “updates” and “progress”.

Eventually, somewhere I lost my patience with playing this game Chris. Or maybe I became emotionally stable enough to not need him anymore unless it was a balanced relationship. So I asked him if he wants to work it out or not…. he gave me sort of a roundabout answer but in action started working on it… within a week, we were deciding on where to meet- he wanted me to come over and holiday with his couple friends.. and was ready to speak to my parents. But somewhere, on the day he was supposed to speak to them – either because he got cold feet or because somewhere I might have said something insensitive- he told me that “no matter what you say or do now, you cannot work it out- you and I shall never be more than friends.” Somewhere I feel he wants to punish me and make me feel bad about myself and he’s constantly bursting my happiness bubble.

I was at the end of my tether now. I was prepared to hear a no when I had asked him- and I was angry as to why he didn’t tell me then. So I told him sorry, we cannot be friends either and I blocked him. And started working some more on myself. I know that if I had followed your advice some more, we will eventually get married, but seriously, any guy who realizes my importance won’t be confused and immature about it. Part of me still feels he and I might get together again (since he’s doing that common friend’s status message thing again)- so I know he misses me. But he needs to man up. I want and DESERVE a guy who crosses the oceans for me and climbs mountains and takes a bullet for me- not someone who can’t even make up his mind! And this concentrating on self has made me so strong I cannot tell you! I still love him to bits but I have started considering other options. So if he ever comes back to talk to me, I am going to tell him that he and I cannot be friends. He knows me well enough and none of us are kids anymore. Either he talks or considers commitment- or he can just go take a hike. And I think now that I am becoming more and more the ungettable girl each day, this is the message I am going to give to every man I meet! I am nobody’s half-time or pastime! If you don’t think I am not enough to be “the one”, stay friends. If you think I am the one, be man enough! You cannot have your cake and eat it too.

Right, Chris? 🙂

Yes I did. Like I mentioned in the first line, I have read every word you have written on your website. And I have followed it to a T. I am sure your method works. It has given me all the results so far. It is just that I am not sure if he’s worth so much thought and energy of mine anymore.. that’s all… perhaps I am the one losing interest slowly in the relationship..

I have a close (married) male friend who I have been chatting with for 18 months. It started on facebook and continued via text. I learned quite early on he is a bit of a womaniser – actually a serial cheater – but too late for me to get out. It has always been a text thing. Occasionally he gets very sporadic and is sometimes very unwilling to talk to me, especially if I initiate contact. I hardly ever do. Last week out of the blue he said he never wants to text again. “too risky”. And that was that. I know he’s unavailable, and probably very bad news, but I sort of miss it. He hasn’t dropped me on facebook, but won’t text back. He is all over other women on facebook. Hows this for a crazy situation? Do I just walk away? (finding that a bit hard).

Explain how getting involved with a man who is probably going to cheat on you is a good idea?

Hey Cris I’ve been really struggling with my break up with the whole why won’t he call, that’s he’s blocked me on FB, I’ve tried all that I can do and still nothing. I didn’t go crazy with the calling and texting and all. It’s been 3 weeks no contact. It hurts and I’ve been working on bettering myself but its so hard in these moments where I feel alone. He was there and was my everything to gone and nothing. This is dumb and I need to get over it but I need some hope it even a little. If you unblock someone and decided to re block them you have to wait 48 hours so I’ve been typing his name in to see if he’s looked me up and he hasn’t. It’s been a few days since he blocked me. My questions are:
Will he look me up?
When should I give up on any sort of contact?
Thanks for having this website and being here for us girls and all!:)

So… what do you do when your ex, who has been contacting you, caught up a few times and wanting to catch up on a regular basis, NOW wants to “block” you, suddenly tells you that his current gf found something out about his past and is uncomfortable with your friendship, that she has said she’d be ok with it if we were to become acquainted, however for he and i to remain in contact, that would have to happen before or on, the next time we caught up. I had already gotten a text message from her, which blew me away, saying she’d found some stuff out that worried her about him and she was open to conversation/information, however i didn’t replay straight away as i was thrown for a loop to be honest and was trying to figure out how i felt about it. This text was a few days ago, i text my ex tonight to ask about a gift his mother had given his sister to pass on, and if he could get it and i could get it from him (i don’t really see his sister that much) and the response i first detailed in this message is what i got. Wtf? Seriously, the contact between he and i is sporadic at best, and mostly via text, there is nothing to it so i don’t understand why this all of a sudden. The only thing i can think of, is that she thinks i am a threat and i’ve no idea where that come from…

Hi,
I read your article and it is amazing, i hope that my ex unblocks me. We were not getting on much and when I went to his house on Friday night we had a massive argument and he told me he didn’t want to be with me. I know he didn’t mean it because he has said this in the past and when i asked him about it he said it is because he dosen’t like it when i am annoyed or upset with him. He wants to be with me when i am happy, but however I obviously wasn’t when we fell out, and we argued and then i was asked to leave his house.
The next day i could not resist to text him, and I did that and he never replied. Then I found out he has blocked my texts. It had been 2 days with no contact from his side, but i have never considered no contact from my side. I am really really worried in case he dosen’t get back in contact, im 19 years old and we have been together since I was 15 and its really hard to have no contact.

my ex has contacted me now but over text messages and he called me and asked me in a text message if i wanted to have sex with him and I said yes to him. He told me to tell my parents that and I don’t want to tell them at all so if I do have it I will not tell them at all.

Chris, I’m stuck.

I was the annoying girl who picked fights and made accusations all the time. That lasted about 6 months. We didn’t exactly break up but more sort of shifted to being ‘just friends’. That pissed me off because I didn’t understand what had happened and I kept on picking fights, etc. That lasted another 6 months before I pushed him too far and he stopped talking to me. After about another 6 months of occasional communication, I saw him briefly which seemed to go okay but afterwards he completely cut me off and blocked me (apps, that’s all as far as I know)

I found out later that he finally cut me off because someone had said something awful to him behind my back. I realized I needed to do some serious work on myself and figure out why things kept going so wrong between us. I realized how badly I’d behaved and that I had taken out personal issues on him. I stopped trying and took a few months to deal with my problems and figure out my feelings towards him.

Eventually, I worked up the courage to call and leave him a message apologizing for what had happened when I last saw him and told him that I’d realized my mistakes, I was sorry and I was working through them. A couple of weeks later he texted me to say he got my message and was happy about it. I tried texting him a few times but no response. About a month later, he called me out of the blue and we talked for awhile. We talked again a few days later and during that conversation he hinted around about what I’d been doing to deal with things. I thought I should keep things upbeat and ignored what he was hinting at.

That was a couple of months ago and we haven’t spoken since. I’ve tried but he won’t answer the phone or call me back. I think when we last spoke he was looking for a reason to support that things really would be different this time and when I didn’t give him one, he retreated. I ended up sending him an email and tried my best to give him that reason but I don’t know if it was too late to have any impact.

I’m scared of pushing too hard and seeming desperate but I really want the chance to show him that I’ve changed my ways and things can be different but don’t know what to do to do that. He has a Facebook account but never uses it. We don’t have friends in common. He’s terrible at responding to emails.
I can’t call/text him because he doesn’t have his cell right now and I don’t have the number for his loaner phone.

Is there hope that I can fix this? Any ideas on what I should do?
honey

March 29, 2014 at 4:50 pm

I have a question!
What would go on your mind if your ex gf sends you some semi erotic pictures of herself…showing him thats shes working out and beeing very loving and caring to you. Without any begging…just good mooded and loving. Hmmm because this is what I just did. I know I was desperate and sent him so many emails, texts and never got any response after 1 month of NC. So my questions are
1. What do you think goes in his mind about tge pictures (which were great btw haha)
Does it look very desperate in his eyes?
He always loved to get such pictures of me and couldn’t get enough of them so I think he misses it anyway
2. What to do now?? Another month of NC
I am blocked on several chats

March 30, 2014 at 8:22 pm

I would think she is trying really hard to seduce me.

March 29, 2014 at 2:07 pm

I have a question for you Chris. The graph you showed us on the mind of an ex that bkocks us, I was wondering, I know there is no actual specific timeframe, but based on what you’ve seen on this site and other women’s experiences, how long does it take an ex to go through this procress? Just based on what you’ve seen. My ex didn’t block me but he refuses to communicate w/ me and I know hes very angry at me so in a way it is like he has blocked me. So im interested in this graph you gave us.

admin

March 30, 2014 at 8:53 pm

Depends on the guy. Some guys it will happen in a week others a month.

Thats really the best I can give you. I know its not the perfect answer but its the best I can do.

Wow saw this email in the morning after a somewhat fight with a guy and a sleepless night. That’s kinda a call back to come and read your guides, they keep me motivated. So the thing is he confessed he’s been cheating, I felt that he was lying, I couldn’t believe a word he says. He confessed he’s been cheating with more than one, he just said it like “I go to clubs now and there are several chicks ready to serve me, girls like me, I met this girl and that girl bla bla bla” he was so nice before, but his attitude now is jerk one. When he said it he put lots of smileys like “;) 😉 ;)” so idk whether its true or not but rly hurt to hear after all we had. Or does he try to hurt me? (again, he was nice before but clearly it seems to be he lost interest in me, when I say I miss him, he’s like “mm ok”)
So I decided to put him in NC. Wanted to do that earlier when he’s blocked me but being blocked is hard so couldn’t last..ended up aplogising for nothing (yeeeedammmmitttt!!!! HE must be the one to apologize)

Hi Chris,
My ex and I broke up for 1 month. When he broke up with me, i accepted. But one week later, i begged him, called him, texted him, and he had blocked my on phone and FB :(. Since he did that, i used NCR and didnt bother him anymore.
Worse is that we are classmate. We see each other everyday. Since the break up, he rarely attends school. I also do not intend to approach him.
Yesterday, after knew we registered the same class so he changed the school day to avoid me. I think he thought that i’m stalking him @@
Since he blocked me, i havent seen him, tried contact or anything. Why does he act like that to me?

admin

March 30, 2014 at 8:49 pm

Wait, he is skipping school to avoid you?
Yu

April 2, 2014 at 7:12 am

Yes, i thought so. After i begged him, he disappeared one week. When i called him, texted him, we argued and he said he doesnt want me, need me or have feeling for me. then he blocked my phone & fb.
He disappeared one week, just went to school one day a week and i had to act that i dont care anymore.
Maybe he believe that im OK with it so this week he goes back to school. It’s so hard for me to act like i dont care 🙁

Do all guys check their ex gfs fb profiles from time to time? Even if they unfriended you?

I think my ex is the stubborn type.. he blocked me.. i wonder if he will ever look at my profile, kind of doubt it right now 🙁

March 28, 2014 at 4:38 pm

I did no contact for 30 days after an embarrassing breakup.. I was way too clingy at the end. But I kept in NC religiously until the time was up. then I texted him and he seemed neutral. he would reply a bit positively then stop. Then I posted a status on facebook expressing how worn out I was, it was about work but it was ambiguous and could be interpreted about life in general or him (STUPID MOVE!!) and he blocked me on FB! I got upset but entered into NC again. Then I noticed he’s blocked me on all chat apps that we both sign into every day (but probably not on phone, although I don’t know how to check.)

what should I do? this sucks.

admin

March 30, 2014 at 8:29 pm

Well, as long as you have your phone unblocked that is a really good sign.

March 28, 2014 at 4:01 pm

The day after we broke up he deleted me off facebook, snapchat and instagram. Not on his phone as I was able to msg him about it. He said he doesbt hate me he just thinks we dont need to be fb friends..so I either annoy him/he doesn’t want reminders of me. He is meant to contact me to give my stuff back, and my birthday has past but he still hasnt contacted me. Its been 3 weeks. He still however talks to my cousin every couple days because he’s kinda depressed and most of his friends he had met from me. Im also fb friends with his mum. I really just want to be friends with him as I agree with our break up- we had an amazing relationship but after 10months realised we have no future as we have different values…. but im wondering what you think is going through his mind?

admin

March 30, 2014 at 8:29 pm

How long has it been since he blocked you?

March 28, 2014 at 1:23 pm

Hi Chris, I just want to stay “THANK YOU” for helping women all over the world dealing with breakup, you have no idea how much knowledge i have gained by reading your articles…Thank You!

I want to share my story..
After a nasty fight, my ex and i broke up..I was the one who blocked and i guess because at that time I wanted to make him feel the pain that I was feeling. I should mentioned that we are in a LDR as well..Anyways after logic finally kicked in, I realized that I was still in love with him and it was a silly fight that lead to the breakup..After a few days, I reached out to him, Of course at that point, he was still angry and didn’t want to talk to me and said it was over. Like everyone on the planet, being rejected makes you reached out more and I pretty much begged for another chance and his response was clearly “No”. But then something amazing happened,I found your site and read all your articles and I must say I was totally amaze at the things you mentioned. So I started the NC rule, not because I was desperate of wanting him back… I did it for me… to really focus on myself as a person and try to improve me and be the best version of myself, basically be a woman that a man would want and not a woman that want a man….

During the NC period I had an emergency and I had to contact my ex,we had brief conversation and he mentioned that the relationship was over but we can still talk. So i continue my NC and totally ignore his texts from then on…I am now in the last week of NC and he has been texting me every day for the past 4 days, I of course being true to NC just ignore those texts.. Life can be ironic at times, now I can’t help but smile because at one point that was me…the one reaching out. I am currently, working on my “First Text message” that i would sent at the end of NC.

I also know that him reaching out to me doesn’t not necessarily mean that me wants to be with me again.. So Chris, do you think I have a good chance of getting him back? I should also say that he is suppose to come to my country next month for a wedding, which we were planning to attend before the breakup.

Thank You Chris, you really empowered me in more ways that I can imagine…

admin

March 28, 2014 at 5:02 pm

I think the stars are slowly aligning… cant say you will get him back but you definitely have a shot.
Melissa

Hi Chris, just an update..after NC and successfully accomplish the perfect first text…I spoke to my ex and he told me that he’s not willing to put anymore effort towards a relationship with me, because he doesn’t have the patience for one anymore and would not give me another chance… Yet after all that he texts me everyday asking how i am doing and when i ask him about it he says that I’m a good person..
Can you please shed some light on what you think is going on with him and do you think I better cut my losses now and move on….honestly, I am prepared to let him go but if there a chance to fight for it I am also willing to do it…

Thanks Mel
