Once your ex has sought your attention and given you a clear reason to consider ending no contact, you’re
Making an ex miss you by stepping back and focusing on yourself isn’t manipulation. It’s about prioritizing your own wants, needs, and emotional well-being by giving yourself time to detach and heal.

Many dumpees contemplate breaking the no contact rule.
