I recently broke up with my boyfriend. We only dated a month, but it was very intense and a rather complicated situation. My best friend is the one who got us together, ironically, it’s her brother. Who has a son. Who is also still married. Yikes, I know.

But all things considered, it was a risk I was willing to take because I thought in my little world at that time that it was going to be okay because A) I knew for a fact that his wife and he split up in absolutely not good terms since she basically tried to kill him, for realzies, and B) He’d been filing for a divorce for two years and hadn’t dated anyone during that time. C) She did not have a relationship with their son, she didn’t care, she only cared when she tried to kidnap him on gunpoint, the best way to get money from your husband. D) I thought in my head, that if it didn’t turn out fine, that I would be strong enough to walk away from this with a heart intact. F) He is the one who initiated it with me.

Oh boy. It was actually really nice. We connected on a deep level so quickly. He opened up to me and I opened up to him on a really emotional level. It went a bit too fast, looking back now. We started talking about having a future together, he was the one who always initiated those conversations, he told me no one had showed him as much respect that I was showing him. I had respect for how much he had to work because he was working while also trying to start a company. We’d talk almost every day and usually after his work was over and things had calmed down for him. After only a month, he said he loved me.

And then things got weird. In stead of replying to me in texts, he just sent emojis. Which bothered me. Because I got the sense that he wasn’t really trying to make an effort in communicating with me. He didn’t call me after his work for two evenings. And then I kinda lost it on day three because of this weird circumstance where I was stuck in the city to help my sister with a move but she’d forgotten she was supposed to go to work, so I was stuck in this tiny student apartment, stuff everywhere, no TV, no one to talk to, no key to go out and take a walk (she had the only key) and no charger for my phone, just crossword puscle and a bucket of anxiety cause I had drank four energy drinks in the span of two days to have the energy to help my sister. So I got stuck in my head, and he kept replying to me with those stupid emojis which made me feel like I was nagging on him. I tried to ignore it, I should have. But by the time it had gone 6 hours of being in my head and no one to talk to (I tried calling people) I finally let him know that sending just emojis like that made me feel like he didn’t care enough to actually write something back, like I was just supposed to guess what he was thinking all the time.

Must have made me look real needy. He didn’t reply. So I apologized the day after. He said he’d had a stressful day and I said I hadn’t realized that and apologized again and asked if I could call him that evening. He said yes and then when I did, he cut me off without answering and without an explenation. So three days later I wrote a text to him admitting that I had been in a bad place that day and that my lashing out had nothing to do with him. No reply. Next week after that when I’d accidentally sent him a snap, he’d replied with an emoji and I asked how he was and he’d replied with “I need a little time” to which I replied “Okay. Hope everything is well with you.”

So I ignored him for a month. No contact. Full on. Gave him space. Even heard from my friend that he’d asked her about me on week three. But on day 30, nada. So day 31, I sent him a text of something fun and positive, nada.

Two days later, today, actually I wrote to him that “I think it’s a good thing that we’re taking time from each other because we obviously both have more important things to focus on now, but that I would have liked for us to be more honest about where we stand. But I wished him the best and good luck with his company.”

I’m just done with him at this point, because the whole thing is so childish. I was never a horrible person to him when we dated, I don’t deserve to be treated this way. I did try to give him space but I won’t be treated as an alternativ. It’s not normal to expect someone to wait more than a month when you’ve only dated a month, so I’m done. But I guess I’m looking for answers why this went the way it did. What’s your take? I have my own theory, neediness and being too available, whatnot and some people would have probably adviced me from writing that last text, which he hasn’t replied to by the way, but I just wanted to let this whole thing go before my dynamic with him poisons my friendship with his sister. I feel good about it, about putting my foot down. I don’t care what he thinks at this point, because I’ve marked that I am done. But I want to know where I screwed up and was my mistake really that big?

Sorry for the novel. And thank you.

How To Get An On Again/Off Again Boyfriend Back

Keah

October 31, 2017 at 2:53 am

So my ex and I were together for two years. We were long distance for a good year roughly before I moved back to the city he lived in. Things were wonderful. I attended family functions, met all of his friends, and when we were together everything was wonderful. We took vacation together, tried new things together, etc.

I travel for work, and this summer I was away a lot. I stressed myself out trying to manage my schedule to bring me home and my job just didn’t work with me. So I wasn’t home much at all. It was hard on me, and hard on him. It also made me extremely needy in my time I DID spend at home. (I have noticed this looking back.) In this time, a girl had been actively pursuing him at work. And he gave in. He cheated more than once with her (and he didn’t tell me). He moved across the country temporarily for work a week or so after their last hookup. Two weeks after that, we broke up. I had already visited him in his new city twice (I grew up there so I’m there a lot). He told me he loved being with me but couldn’t do distance. It’s too hard. Said he knew if he didn’t take this job and stayed in my city, we’d get married and he wasn’t ready for that yet. When I confronted him about cheating rumors I had heard, he said part of the reason he left was the guilt for what he had done. Said he needed to work on himself. He needed to love himself before he could love me. Etc. Said he still saw a possible future with me later on if we both end up single and settled in the same city again. We attempted friendship, but I realized he was just trying to ease his guilt and his pain by staying on good terms in his eyes. It wasn’t a good friendship and it wasn’t healthy for either of us. I attempted NC. He got angry that I “hadn’t told him I needed space,” which admittedly I guess I should’ve since we were attempting friendship. He blocked me on Facebook at that moment saying, “I hope we can still be friends, but if not I understand.” I faultered I told him I had realized he didn’t respect me and never would until I respect myself enough to know that I deserve better. We ended that conversation on ‘bad terms.’ I broke no contact again trying to be friendly. Said “Guess what!” And he asked what. Then, I just said I had finally finished a season of a show he loves. He didn’t respond. So I sent a video message apologizing if my actions of pulling away had hurt him and explained why I felt it was necessary (I know now, bad move). I also said I respected the fact it was clear he needed space right now just like I had, so I was going to honor that and stop reaching out. We’ve now been NC for two weeks (I’m really trying for 30 days). I’m still blocked. I’m working on myself. Actively getting out and being successful in my life. I’m on online dating sites. Lost 10 pounds and working on my health. I’m truly trying to be the ungettable girl. I’m fully aware he might not come back, and I’m also aware he *may* have self sabotaged the relationship out of fear. I care about him. I always will. I truly believe he’s a good person who made poor choices. And even now (2 months post breakup), I still see a future with him that can work. I know that it relies on both of us growing as people (him with commitment and me being needy), but I want it to work. Do you think my damage done post breakup is irreparable? Or am I living in a dream world thinking he meant what he said?

Ok so my boyfriend and I were together for almost two years we lived together towards end then while we were out I had warrant got arrested and went to jail he was banned from were we were living so while I was in jail he had nowhere to live and went to stay with his mom . I was supposed to be in jail ninety days but got myself out in three weeks. Conditions on moving back to his mom’s were he could not have any one over he can’t go out he had to get sober and go to Na meetings with her.. so when I got out of jail he was telling me he missed me and my boys loved us the only thing that kept him going was knowing we would be together again he was miserable without us. He would tell me he was scared he was loosing me. Beg me to talk to him all that. I went to jail June 28th got out July 14th. So the only thing he does at his mom’s is literally work go to Na meetings and sometimes goes with sponsor. I have seen him two times since getting out of jail cuz I drove there and he snuck to meet me. About a month ago he said he needs to focus on his recovery and can’t be in a relationship right now he blocked me on phone and Facebook. I begged cried pleaded called and text non stop. Found out where his mom’s was and drove by there. He now says I should move on cause he doesn’t want to be with anyone right now and says it’s over. But won’t talk to me and I ask him to tell me he doesn’t love me any more and doesn’t want me anymore he says to move on its over but won’t say he doesn’t love me any more .He went from about a month ago afraid of loosing me to blocking me and not talking to me to telling me to move on its over and he doesn’t want to be with anyone right now. How do I get him back? And how does it go from not wanting to loose me to telling me to move on please help

Hi Tina,

How old are you both? Are you going to do the no contact rule?

Pinkglitter

October 11, 2017 at 9:01 am

At break up he texted that he is toxic, and thinks that’s the right decision (that I cannot be with him) and sorry things didn’t work. I had said I cannot be with him if he sexts his ex. Confused because he never wanted to rekindle with her. And why lead me on for a future with me if he was wanting to be with her? Why say he loves me and do that anyways?

Our whole relationship was amazing we had so much chemistry, passion, got along with a house on fire, so happy and never fought, he was very very into me, he would listen to me and vise versa, good morning/night texts, non stop texts all day every single day, never ever showed signs of not wanting to be with me.

Then an hour later texted again an hour later and said I wish you all the best in future and hope you do find happiness. (I never replied)

There was no word of being friends. And sounds pretty final to me that he wants to ban me from his life???

Straight after he sent those texts he blocked me on Facebook and messenger.

11 days later with neither of us had made any contact at all. But had to see each other at a kids activity (no we don’t have and we looked at each other and said hi how you going and both said good. I was smiles and kind. He left. Then at end of night collecting his child I said nicely I hope your taking care of yourself whilst walking to my car. He said yeah thanks you too. Later that night he unblocked me from Facebook. But no friend request to date. And no further contact from each of us. He has moved in with his ex but he has always said he is ony there because of the children. Plus said he is not in love with his ex nor attracted to her or interested in her. He said it his perfect and he loves me and he couldn’t live without me I am his dream.

I never wanted to break up. I still love him. I would like to at least be a friend or not banned for life.

I take it there’s no hope of trying for reconciliation???

Ps we do have to see each other for a few mins each Friday night for next month or so.

I was w my ex for 4 years we have a son together and 4 months ago he cheated on me. Kicked me and my son out moved her in days after we left. She tattooed his name on her already after they were together 2 months. Which he was begging me to do the last couple months of our relationship. I have proof they haven’t known each other longer then 4 months so I’m just so hurt how he moved on so fast. Not to mention when we try to co parent he’s so mean to me I’m called a h*e b*tch anything. He says he doesn’t love me and I’m ugly or skinny or anything mean. I just don’t get how you have a family with someone then can treat them this way. It’s like he’s as totally different person. And of course I get the blame for everything. What do you think he’s doing this for?

Ex and I were togheher for 4 years and lived together. Both in it 30s.
His family always tried to come between us and I tried a lot of times to sort it as it upset him and was causing rows between us.
I had a lot going on, two deaths close to me and PTSD. In my grief at Easter I said he wasn’t enough and told him to leave. I meant his behaviour as he was arguing with me over his family again (but they were always leaving me out) and that week is burried my friend. My head was a mess. I’ve apologised since and he said he’s not asked for an apology but accepts it.
He’s not long started his dream career and has some failings because of the break up. He blamed one failing on me, the second he called me help, but now blames me. Says his head was full of us when he needed to learn new stuff.
This is the guy who said I meant more than others and him to me as well. Both being through a lot of good times and hard times and always made it through. Even his friend said he was happiest with me out of all the girls hes been with. But this family thing was causing us boh stress and they weren’t willing to give in, nor him stand up to them.
April and May he was so nasty and pulled out of the house when I was away at work.
June he then totally breaks down and saying he missed me, missed us and we’d been through too much to drift apart. Said he wanted to sit down sort it out over time as well as him doing his career. But it was too much for us to loose.
One weekends he spoke to his mum, all of sudden he feels better and said let’s be friends for now I have to put stuff right at work. I was shocked I didn’t know how it had all changed again bar his mum. He said that’s how it has to be for now I have to put things right at work it’s my dream career and I’m failing my training.
I was very upsetting and said alsorts plus my friends were feeding me stuff. He said I don’t know if it’s a break or final because I don’t know how you feel, be yourself not what your friends want you to be.
I admit I said a few harsh things after what I was fed then he blocked me down to email. He said it was his way of dealing with it because he needed to concertante on his career and didn’t need his head filled with it.
Then come July and he turned up at my house, seeed cold but wanted to meet for a drink in two weeks time. But then we had a row and it was very bad. But I was so confused and anxious. He knows I’ve suffered a lot of grief with my losses.
Weekend after he saw me, hi sorry parents went down to see him and his group passed out but obviously he was still there because of his failings.
All of sudden a workmate of mine spotted he’d just rejoined a dating website looking for s relationship, when only the weekend before he said he wanted to get to know me again and trust me again but didn’t want to be with anyone right now because of work and see what end of September brought for us.
He said he went online dating to pass time, see if he was enough for anyone and just to see if anyone saw him to see if he was being followed.
We only have contact via email, he said he’s said all he needs to say over email and doesn’t need to see me as he said he won’t trust I won’t cause a scene. Says he come so far and won’t fail his course now.
He now says he’s happier, he works during the week, see his friends and family at weekends and does what he wants when he wants and it will only change when he decides 🙁
I feel totally lost. I’ve got no closure. He still emails. But him cutting off and blocking me out is not like him at all and I feel his family are a drive behind it (they are v close to one another and his sister hates me because she was jealous of us). He says he can’t take me being so up and down and wants to carry on as he was. But we were so close, meant more than others, didn’t even give me a chance to prove myself after my grief counciling or anything her I listened to him in June when he broke down. We meant more than others and planned a future together and it’s a big thing at our age.
I am struggling alot, I can’t sleep properly, eat properly he was my best friend and partner. For him to be how he is now when usually he’s a very emotional guy always a talker is unreal. I know his career is important but still and he just blames me for everything 🙁

What Does It Mean When An Ex Blames Me For The Breakup?

Natasha

September 12, 2017 at 12:56 am

The guy in question is my boyfriend. We love each other and he has already started talking to me about marriage and kids etc. He had been chasing me for a few years and hence appreciates having me. He always says things like “I will never ever forget you, no matter what happens” and “You’re special” and so on. I know he has REAL feelings for me. However, two nights ago I started a fight with him (on the phone) about not seeing me for a week. The night before the fight I also ignored his messages and phone calls and during the fight I told him “I don’t think about you, I actually forget about you UNTIL you call.”, to which he said “There’s no loving you. You have no heart. I don’t love you”. Then I said “I don’t love you”. It was clear that he didn’t mean it and neither did I. He hung up the phone saying “I can’t talk to you right now. Call me when you want to talk”. Normally, after a fight he always is the first to contact me after a few days saying “I missed you. My life is not the same without you” EVEN if it’s my fault. I know it has only been two days, but what is the best thing for me to do? Ignore him until he calls me? Or call him and look needy and is COMPLETELY out of character for me and he knows it too. Help?

I’ve been with my boyfriend for 2 1/2 years. It took a long way for us to be where we are and right before the break up he was talking about marrying me. We broke up because he was very stressed out and things weren’t working out as well. I started the no contact at the end of July and on august 17 he sent me a long text saying he did miss me and was so stressed out and depressed. We talked and hung out the whole weekend and then things didn’t go so well after I accidentally broke his car key. He told me “it’s not that I don’t want to be with you it’s that we both need time” the. I asked do you not want to be with me ever again? He said for the short time being. I’m sure because of stress and being upset. Yesterday I went to give him the money for his new key and everything was fine until he blew up on me… he went into rage saying hurtful things like we won’t ever be together again… I am very hurt because I don’t understand where this all came from and why he is so angry with me? He blocked me on instagram again but not his phone. He had me blocked on his ig before then unblocked me and would watch my stories I posted. I know that I am going into no contact but I am afraid that he means it .. I would do anything to fix things and I just need help. I love him so much and I feel he is upset . I just want to know what I can do to make things right besides no contact. I have ex bf pro also. Please help.

Thank you Amor! After reading article after article I do agree with you! The no contact is hard but it is teaching me patience. I am confident in myself that things will be ok. I’m working towards being the ungettable girl! I want him to see the best version of myself and think “wow I really was wrong about her” I’ve already lost 20 pounds and I feel great thanks to this website and all of your support so thank you so very much!

I’ve been together with my ex bf almost 7 years. he cheated on me & found another girl & I think he is going to have their engagement soon. There are so many reasons why he said we both should broke up.. 1) I cheated on him on our 5th years. which I regret it everyday. 2) my family didn’t approve him to be my future husband. He feels discouraged. 3) Because I didn’t understand his feeling & situation well. we had a really big fight for the first time, we yell at each other, blaming each other. I even met the new girl, & tell that my ex bf n I already have sex. that’s makes him really angry at me, from that point I realize he love that girl so much. This is really hurting me. now, I’m slowly getting better, it’s been a week I didn’t contact him. CAN I ACTUALLY GET HIM BACK?

Hi Emy,

when did you break up?

Ash

August 18, 2017 at 3:10 pm

I’m on day 9 of NC (with no word from him yet) and going strong – actively implementing a better life for myself so that when it ends I am strong and confident and happy. We were together for 2.5 years and had a positive, supportive and intimate relationship and we broke up just before we were due to move in together.

Here’s some things he said:
* Something isn’t right and I don’t know what it is
* Maybe it isn’t the right time for me
* I don’t feel the same as I used to for you
* I don’t think I love you

I’m wondering whether I am hold out hope for someone who honestly doesn’t love me any more – I mean that is literally what he said. He didn’t say it in anger, and he repeated several times in different situations.

My question is – have you heard of a situation of exes getting back together when the dumper said they weren’t in love any more? As the days go on I wonder whether I should take what he has said literally.

I need some help.I’m 30, he is a 21 year old fireman, we were together for a half year but because his whole family is in a religious sect where his father is the pastor and i didn’t join, we argued a lot and we broke up in May. We had a baby and he wanted to marry me, we were very happy but i had a miscarriage at 12weeks and he just disappeared. He said he needed some time grieving and that we cannot be together anymore because he isn’t able to have sex with me anymore also we made a big sin when we were together before marriage and we got punished by losing our child. I needed him, I still do. I’m very weak and lonely without him.I begged him to come back but he doesnt want me anymore. I tried to not talk to him for almost 3weeks but in that time he just closed the relationship in himself totally while i was waiting for him to come back. He is very cold, he said he doesn’t miss me, he doesn’t want to be next to me, we are not meant to be. I don’t know how to handle all this with the grief.His family is talking to me sometimes.I even tried to join to his religion but it still didnt help. He just doesn’t want me. I don’t know how to react.After that he said he knows we are not meant to be, i stopped talk to him yesterday. Should i disappear? Do the 30days no communication thing? I’m afraid he would just forget me and our baby in that time. He lives far from me so we cannot even meet accidentally. Have no idea what to do. I want to get back my child’s father. I want to get back our dream what he wanted more than me, getting married and have a family in harmony.Please help me.Thank you

Your Worst Nightmares During The No Contact Rule

Nathalie Silkstone

August 6, 2017 at 8:51 am

Me and my ex were together for two years and we’re so happy. Towards the end we were always fighting about him wanting to see his friends a lot and I got a bit controlling. He went to break up with me, but didn’t, and we worked it out. For a week we were very good and had a good balance. Things were looking up! Said he was happy! Then he said he thought about it and he didn’t love me anymore and didn’t want to be with me. And we would never get back together ever. I find it hard to believe he didn’t love me as all of his actions showed he did. What should I do now, as I still love him so much and I do want him back.

What does it mean when he says “we’re not getting back together because it’s a dead end relationship?” he thinks that we are in a very bad cycle of fighting then have really good days and then fighting and so on… He doesn’t want to continue any longer… this is our second time breaking up (been together 2 yrs total) and he said that he’s more sad this time around because he thought that when we got back together 9 months ago, it was for the long haul.. so does he really mean it when he said we’re never getting back together?

he probably means it at the time he said it because of his emotions but it doesn’t mean you don’t have a chance.

What my ex told me when he broke up with me is completely different from any of the comments above. His exact words were “I think I’m done with this relationship. I was non-stop thinking about it the past 2 days and this just isn’t gonna work out.”

Is there any interpretation you guys can take from this? For context, we had an argument about him putting his friends first when he’s spending time with me and he went cold turkey on me for two days, and when I asked if we could talk, he sent me that message.

my long distance bf of 5 years texted me that i was a liar and manipulator because i blocked him on social media (Facebook) and that it was over he was blocking me and to never contact him again. we actually were not friends on facebook and i had deactivated it so i wasnt even on there but he did not believe me that i wasnt and it wasnt even my idea to not be friends on social media. i wanted him on my facebook but he said social media wasnt important to him. what gives? after he said do not contact me im done im blocking you now i tried to call him which the calls did go through and i dont think ive been blocked and text him days later and he never responded. is it over? its been a week since he said he was done. he has said he was done before and answered my phone call the next day but not this time.how can i even implement NC when hes basically already doing that

My ex and I dated for 6 months and towards the end we started getting in arguments because I wanted to settle down and have a family, and he didn’t feel ready. Well a week later he breaks up with me and says he just isn’t ready for a serious relationship. We had remained friends and the next day he shows up at my house asking for another shot saying he was just afraid of commitment and wanted to be with me. So everything goes great for a week, he brings up an idea to move in together, starts talking about “when we get married”..etc. Then one day he texts me saying that he just isn’t happy in the relationship and we aren’t meant to be together and I should move on. What do I do? We both work together (it’s where we met), we both have different religious backgrounds but had discussed a mutual feeling of not wanting religion, and I have chronic depression which I know has taken a toll on him at times. He says that I’ve been great and he enjoyed being with me but just isn’t happy. I feel like I’ve been doing everything I could to support him and been a good girlfriend, is there any chance left?
