Pretty cool, right? This is a really common scenario… your ex broke up with you, but you still live together or share a living space and simply cannot avoid contact with your ex. In summary, though, you should try to limit non-essential contact with your ex even when you live together.

Do this whenever possible and keep any conversations limited to small talk, inside jokes, and fun topics. Just try to limit communication to essential topics related to the kids… talk about who will take the kids to school, how the dance recital went, when the dentist appointment is, etc. Make sure you do this with a smile on your face and a positive attitude. But, in this type of situation, no contact can often actually be MORE important… you need your ex to know that you will NOT be available to provide emotional support or keep them entertained while they get over the post-breakup heartache and loneliness.

We dated for about 8 months and it was mostly good. We were in person for the first 5 no real issues or arguing and long distance the last 3. I let my insecurities and emotions take over my logical responses to some situations which in turn, caused some arguments.

It got to the point where it was too much for him to handle during his career. I since then have started going to counseling and understand what my toxic traits were. When we broke up, I did plead on the phone but since that night, I went into no contact immediately. Again, it has been a month and a few days of no contact. He still is one of the first people to watch my stories but has not reached out.

I was wondering any advice? I usually never care about people who want to walk away from my life but I cannot stop thinking about what we could have been had I handled my emotions correctly. I do not know if he will ever contact me or come around, but during the phone call he said he wanted to keep in contact as friends but I told him that would be too hard.

I am not sure what to do at this point. Hi Becca, you need to leave him alone for a little while. Starting with a No Contact where you work on yourself and show him you are no longer a clingy needy person.

After completing NC for 30 days, my ex reached out. We have been talking daily but one day he stopped reaching out, so i did first turns out he was upset about something as i suspected. I apologized since it was my fault and we have been talking daily since. But last week he just stopped talking to me and it has been a couple of days.

What do i do? Do i wait until he reaches out or should i wait a little longer before reaching out? We had a nice chat before he stopped no arguing. Hi Lana yes you can reach out if there has been no negative interactions.

Him not replying could be anything as simple as he forgot or he lost interest in the conversation. Make sure that you are reading the articles from Chris about how to text your ex and keeping them engaged in talking to you.

Hi Kenzie, so your first step is to follow the rules of no contact for 30 days, in that time you can decide if you want to move on or not, that is only your choice to make. Read articles that apply to your situation to help you understand what actions you need to take. So my boyfriend and I have been dating for almost a year.

He is 45, never married, no kids. I am divorced, 29 with a daughter. When we first dated thing were fantastic then we decided because of lockdown we will move in together. My kid and I stayed with him things were great. But after lockdown he wanted us to stay longer but i said no, he begged me and tried to convince me but i told him i really needed to get home as I have a home with a garden and i knew it was going to get messy.

So i left and he got distant after that. He said he was sick and low on energy. I eventually just stopped talking to him for a few weeks and focused on my book. When my book came out he contacted me about a part for his rasberry, I told him cool i will send it to him. Then he insisted he comes to get it. After we started going on dates things were going great then i went to stay with him for a week this time he asked me to stay one more night but i couldnt and after that he just started making excuses telling me his busy etc.

But he still wants to chat and call me but not see me. He said he is feeling down and his energy is low. He responded saying he is sick and I am right and he knows it unfair to me and maybe time alone will be good. He also mentioned that he would like it if we both remained faithful during the time. So last week he contacted me and I responded but I refused to talk to him on the phone i told him i am trying not to miss him.

And today I eventually caved and spoke to him but when I did he made attempt to talk about a future. In the end he was like oh I dont think I can see you anytime soon going to see my parents. And he is taking time to focus on himself.

In my case do you think the no contact rule would help me? Hi Livia, yes you need to follow a NO contact rule as he knows if he wants you, he just has to reach out. Make sure that you stick with the NC for at least 30 days, 45 if needed. Work on yourself in the mean time and show him that you are living life through mutual friends and social media. My ex and I ended up meeting on Tinder.

We decided one day to meet up and just see where things would go. His parents were out of town that week and I ended up staying at his house for the duration of their absence. I was unemployed at the time because of the pandemic. The first week, we really had gotten super close, and I could tell we started to like each other. We started hanging out more after his parents came back and about a month in, he asked me to be his girlfriend.

Of course I said yes. I started to meet more of his friends, hang out with him and them. Which all of them loved me and never had one bad thing to say about me.

Things were going really well. I met his parents who seemed to love me, never said anything bad about me. Then 2. I finally brought it up because he was becoming more and more distant. He said he just lost feelings over time and was pretty much numb to life.

Two days ago he came over to talk about it and we ended up having sex and he sent the night. Which I knew to begin with, he needs to work on himself.
