If you’re diligently following no contact and think the no contact rule is not working, you’re probably expecting too much too soon. You want the no contact rule to have an effect on your ex right now and aren’t giving your ex enough time to experience the mystery of life and come back to you […]
If you texted your ex and he didn’t reply, you reached out to your ex too early. You showed your ex that you were eager to communicate and that you wanted your ex to talk with you just because you wanted to talk with him. But, unfortunately, that didn’t happen. Your ex wasn’t ready to
I can’t even imagine how painful it must be to see your ex talking to someone else when you still have feelings for your ex and want to get back together. The thought of your ex talking to someone else and being intimate with him or her must be gut-wrenching. It probably gives you a
Is your ex angry towards you and you can’t figure out why? Don’t worry, it probably doesn’t have anything to do with you. Your ex must be angry because he or she feels victimized, trapped, and uncomfortable. Your ex’s anger is an impulsive response, triggered by your ex’s need to push you away and self-protect.
What he thinks when you don’t contact him back depends on the status of your relationship with the guy. If you’re dating him, not responding likely gives him anxiety and makes him wonder where you’re at and what you’re doing. It makes him worry about you and causes him to be afraid of losing you.

When your ex comes back and leaves again, there’s a perfectly reasonable explanation for your ex’s departure. And that explanation is that your ex couldn’t resolve old issues and develop new thinking and behavioral patterns. He or she just couldn’t (or didn’t want to) disassociate old problems from your persona and start anew, which is
If your ex blocked you after no contact, your ex probably did that because you reached out or because you made your ex feel uncomfortable when he or she reached out. Either way, you probably said or did something you shouldn’t have, so your ex felt that he or she had no choice but to
When a guy wants a break, you need to understand that you’re no longer a couple. You’re an ex-couple who experienced an emotional separation, also known as a breakup. The word “break” is just a nicer word for the breakup. Your ex said it to soften the blow and make it easier for himself to
When a guy ends a relationship with you but still contacts you, he either doesn’t know what your post-breakup needs are or doesn’t care what your needs are. Either way, he’s messaging you because he wants to be your friend and expects you to want that too. Little does he know that communication confuses you,
Most dumpees need about 8 months to get over the breakup. That’s how long it takes them to accept the breakup, rebuild their self-esteem, and let go of their ex. But if the breakup is complicated (let’s say the dumpee was codependent or had mental issues), then the healing time can double or even triple.
Many dumpees receive friendship invitations from their ex after no contact and have no idea what to do with them. They generally consider them a good sign because they finally heard from their ex and think their ex is on the way back to them. Only a small fraction of people understand that friendship invitations
