Anonymous August 8th, am. It's okay to talk to them. Just keep the conversations short; fifteen minutes at the most. Sound happy and do not get personal. If they start to get personal just keep your distance and remain friendly but not intimate. Ex is short for excommunicated. You can be friendly without being you ex's friend. Anonymous November 20th, pm. I think it really depends.
However, if they continue then there is always a first step of blocking them from your phone and anything else they could get in touch with you on. IF you do want to talk to them I would cautious of their true intentions An ex is an ex for a reason! Never forget those reasons why you broke up to begin with. In my experince in that they only wanted to come back around when another girl didn't work out. Don't be mean by not responding. They either still still like you and are trying to get over you or they want to make sure that everything is okay between you two.
If your ex keeps contacting you against your will, it's best to set firm boundaries with them and tell them that you need space. If they ignore these boundaries, this is a form of harassment and you may need to get someone else involved. Depending on the level of harassment they're going to, this could qualify as stalking and you should get trusted loved ones or the appropriate authorities or both involved.
I had something similar to this happen. If that's not helping, maybe it's time to get some of your friends involved to tell them your thoughts and feelings to show your sincerity about the situation. Block them on your social media accounts if necessary. No Contact. It's hard going cold turkey, but it's so worth it in the end.
If your ex contacting you is preventing you from moving on, blocking them, whether on text or social media, will really help. Ignore it,if it does not work the first time why go for it a second time,in other words I suggest to your change phone number.
Well it depends on the context in which he is contacting you. If he is sending you unwanted messages and calls, you can politely ask them to refrain. The reality is, if you were together for a long time, you were an important figure in their life, and it isn't easy to lose someone you've known for time.
So it is important that you're understanding of their behavior as well. If they do not stop, you can contact the authorities. A marriage of faiths.

Are you finding it difficult to get over your break-up?
If you are also one of those people who are stuck and spend most of their time in a dilemma, then it is time to introspect and give this a second thought, but cautiously. Navigating breakups is a draining job and tough to handle when despite putting in your heart and soul to the relationship, all you got in return was shattered pieces of heart and unforgettable memories.
However, with time, you somehow managed to overcome all the bitterness and started moving on with life. Comments 0. Be the first one to comment. Read All Comments Post a Comment. Visual Stories Right arrow. Life Style Diet secrets which helped Anushka Shetty slim down.

Are you able to say that you have significantly upgraded your lifestyle in a way that makes you happy? If you feel that you can answer each of these questions positively with no cheating then you have good grounds to take his call. For those of you who perhaps are not yet ready, I would recommend staying in no-contact to avoid causing further damage by speaking to soon.
This category is very broad, it covers the whole encyclopaedia of breakup reasons but I will attempt to cover the main ones. In circumstances where your ex-boyfriend cheated on you then I would suggest you remain in no contact, think of your no contact period as a sort of punishment for his behaviour.
If you break the no-contact period for an ex who cheated on you, then will teach him that you will easily forgive his infidelities, making him more likely to cheat again…. If you broke up because of a long-distance relationship where the breakup was not so bad then I would suggest taking the call. My reason for this is that LDRs are very difficult and opportunities to talk or meet up are less frequent so you should take advantage of the situation if you feel ready to talk.
The last two types of breakup I want to cover are the Grass is Greener syndrome and the General Breakup. The Grass is Greener syndrome is where your ex-boyfriend grows disillusioned with the relationship and feels he could find a better girlfriend…… you and I know that is probably unlikely because you are awesome! Finally, the general breakup is where you breakup for no particular reason, you just drift apart.
Anything like that would be classed as a general breakup. If your break-up was caused by either Grass is Greener syndrome or was a general break-up then I would recommend that you stay in no-contact as it is important that your ex recognises that there is a strong chance he could lose you; this is only going to happen if you are less available to him.
If your breakup was extremely painful then I would recommend staying in no-contact as the likelihood your ex is angry with you is much higher. This is because the level of pain experienced after a breakup is related to how much you felt for someone; the more you love someone, the more painful the breakup…. It makes sense really. If your breakup was very painful then this indicates that the feelings between you and your ex were very strong…. This factor is all about power…. If you broke-up with your ex-boyfriend then you most likely have the upper hand in winning your ex back.
However if your ex-boyfriend ended the relationship with you then the situation is the other way around. If you broke up with him then its worth remembering that you must have had a good reason. Ask yourself if you feel your ex has changed and if he feels remorseful. If he broke-up with you and is reaching out then it could be he is regretting the situation or it could be that he is trying to hook-up so you will need to evaluate all of his behaviour before making your decision.
This one is probably the most telling sign that your ex wants you back. If your ex has reached out to you several times by text or phone call in a positive manner, then you are seeing the beneficial effects of no-contact. Notice how I said that your ex reaches out in a positive manner…… if your ex reaches out to you in a negative manner, perhaps he is angry or rude towards you then I would definitely suggest that you stay in your no-contact period.
Remainining in no-contact will give him time to settle down and also stop him from saying more hurtful things towards you which could kill your confidence. The criteria we discussed were having children together, cohabitation, and administration purposes.
The no-contact rule is such a fundamental part of the Ex-Boyfriend Recovery programme that you should really only be breaking it in exceptional circumstances. If you feel in any doubt about whether you meet the criteria then I would recommend you stay in no contact as it is the safer option. Try to avoid talking about the breakup, and finally end the call at a high point just as you would with a text message conversation. Your email address will not be published.

He been posting subliminals leading me to believe for a fact that he feels Ive ghosted esp. I heard that when you ignore an ex when they contact you it ruins future change of building back up. Plz help! Hello there. My ex and I share a 1 year old. He has been reaching out and at first it was easy to ignore because he was texting full sentences.
We dont have a sharing agreement so he visits his son here. Also he facetimes me alot. I know he misses me, but I want to complete at-least 21 days because I feel he thinks Im always going to be here waiting. Hi Tonia, so you didnt mention if you wanted him back or not? If you do not then you can keep conversation with him in a civil and emotionless style. If you want him back and have to speak to hi on the phone etc, then you speak about your child and then explain that you need to go because you need to do something about the house, or go out somewhere, just casual excuses to get off the phone.
Hi, Thank you for all your work here! I love reading them. My question is… after 5 years being a dream couple, no fights, big plans about marriage and kids… he broke up with me, because he became bored and chatting with ladies, who boosted his ego… He still keeps calling me almost everyday. A month ago he said he wants to try it again — but then we decided it needs some time… I would prefer to spend quality time together, but he says it is enough if we talk on phone… Why does not he really want to meet?
Why does he keep calling me? I do not really know if he still wants to try or not anymore. He keeps saying he thinks of me everyday, misses me, also the attraction is there. But then why do not we meet? The breakup was 5 months ago.
Sometimes we met during this time. But the no contact was skipped. Thank you! Hi Anne, he keeps calling and not committing because you are confirming you are there when he is ready! You need to NC him! We have been broken up for several months now. I dumped him after he stopped putting in effort because he was feeling down and confused about his life.
His messages got shorter and he would constantly hang up on me. We are in a LDR and I felt so alone. I broke up with him so I could be happy on my own. He posted their date night on our shared food account. Remember this and think before you reply to any of their frequent texts.
By replying, you may be giving signals that you actually like being in touch. This will give your ex false hope that there is still a chance to get back with you.
Hang up the phone the very second your ex calls you and starts talking about the sweet memories of your relationship because this is when he or she is desperately trying to get you back. Either that or your ex is lovesick and is still stuck in the bitter-sweet memories of your relationship. Reminding you of the better times in your relationship is their attempt at showing you all the happy moments you shared. They may be hoping that talking about this will bring about a change in your heart and make you want to rekindle your romance with them.
Is your ex on a rampage of sharing quotes about heartbreak and love all over his social media profiles? This could be because your ex wants to show you that he or she is suffering from a broken heart, hoping that you will decide to heal it by taking him or her back into your arms.
It is safe to assume that your ex still has feelings for you if he or she calls you when drunk. It is a classic sign because drinking will take away all your ex's inhibitions and make him or her say the truth to you.
If this happens and they want to talk about your relationship, you can always say that they should call you when they're sober and that you don't want to talk while they're drunk. Alternatively, you could say that there's nothing to talk about and ask them to please not contact you.
If they refuse to move on, see other people, or get back into their old life, they're likely hoping that your breakup is just a temporary situation. You can't do anything to make them move on, but you can help them by remaining firm and not sending them any signals that they could interpret as interest. If they're asking about your love life, that's a pretty good indicator that they want to know if you've moved on and are seeing anyone yet.
If you have or you haven't, it's not really any of their business at this point. Don't be afraid to cut off these kinds of conversations with them. The more extreme the emotion, the more likely there are deep feelings hidden underneath. If they seem to hate you or be very angry with you, or are very sad, they're probably still in love with you.
Though it may hurt you to see someone that you cared about in pain, remember that there was a reason possibly multiple reasons that you broke up. Let them work through these emotions on their own and try not to get involved. If they try to hold onto your stuff, that could be a sign that they don't want to cut ties with you yet and hope that down the road you'll be more open to getting back together. Be polite but firm that you need your stuff back. If it's not stuff that you really need, consider just letting it go as a casualty of the relationship.
Of course, this is the most obvious hint that they are still in love with you. Even though it can be hard to outright say no to someone who still has feelings for you, especially if you used to be in a relationship, you need to remain strong. Either ignore the texts, emails, phone calls, or messages, or be gentle but firm in person and tell them that you've moved on and there is no chance of getting back together.
Unless, of course, that's what you want, in which case this could be the right time to have a conversation about what went wrong in your relationship and how you can make it better the next time around.
