We’ve already discussed the guys’ minds during no contact and what they need from their ex to feel regretful. Today, however, we’ll focus on what happens in a woman’s mind during the no contact rule. We’ll go into detail and explain why women break up with their (long-term)partners, what goes on inside their heads during […]
Just as ordinary dumpers go through the breakup stages, so do dismissive avoidants. DAs (dismissive avoidants) detach from their ex, fall out of love, find something or someone better or different to focus on, and enjoy their newfound space and freedom. By staying away from their ex and doing the things they love, they don’t
The rules of no contact are very straightforward, yet so many people refuse to follow them or follow them properly. Many dumpees ignore them or change them to their liking. They implement their own versions of no contact and, in doing so, increase their errors and prolong their suffering. No contact is not a game.
Breaking no contact is risky. The moment you give in to curiosity, anxiety, or fear of missing out and check up on your ex, you risk setting your emotional recovery back to the day of the breakup. That means you relive the breakup pain all over again and feel even more tempted to talk to

They cheat because they meet someone they find interesting and/or attractive and lack the ability (willpower, commitment, gratitude, respect, and love) to end the connection and step away in
Blocking on some platforms, but not on everything, is what we call partial blocking. Women do it when they don’t want to receive any messages from their partner or ex-partner, but want to leave a channel of communication open for emergencies, apologies, or ego boosts. They partially block to keep their (ex)partner at a comfortable
When a guy says he needs to find himself, he’s usually not being entirely honest. He’s putting the blame on himself rather than talking about his perceptions of you and the real reasons the relationship ended. “I need to find myself” is a common breakup excuse men use to ensure a guilt-free breakup experience for
Whether you’ve tried no contact before or it’s completely new to you, reaching one month is a real achievement. It marks a milestone, as it took 30 consecutive days of commitment to avoid contacting your ex and pouring your heart out to him or her. 30 days of no contact is far from the end
