Should You Break No Contact?

[@gordonhnamte8493]

If they were honest when you were together and you felt that they loved you, I don't see why you can't be together again. Love does really happen, believe it or not.

Exactly! If you were truly in love why can’t you just talk things out. Don’t fucking abandon your partner and leave them in the dark to have all this anxiety. Especially after months/years being together?! I really don’t get it

[@johndhairston9135]

Reached out after 5 weeks because I hit a point where I was happy with myself and feel like I had gotten myself together. I reached out saying that It had been a while and I wanted to check in. I told them that I was being respectful of her space and gave her time and told her that I also needed that time and space to grow and reflect. I said that they didn’t have to respond and I wasn’t angry or bitter or had any negative feelings and that I was open to the idea of talking again if or when she was ready. I sent it two days ago and as of writing this haven’t received a response. But I went into this not excepting one. My whole mindset going into no contact was to get myself back and because I had gotten to that point I was confident in myself and felt that I had nothing to lose. Could I have waited a bit longer sure, but I’m at the point to where sending out that text wasn’t for her it was for me because I had nothing to lose. Some may think that I should’ve just stayed in no co fact forever but I feel relieved after sending that text because it was like I was finally 100% letting go of her and my tone of the text was confidence and strength not chasing, or sadness. It’s all about your mindset.

[@victora.g.2708]

Yeah I feel you but you shouldn't did that. You have to move on since the very first moment. Knowing that maybe in a future things could change but only focusing on yourself, not in her coming back. Don't worry, world won't finish because of that but you have to consider this from now.

[@MVProfits]

I fully understand your thought process. We need closure. But 5 weeks wasn't long enough but still, if it allowed you to move on, that's good! If you were more inclined to get her back though, then it wasn't long enough. I know, I'm at the 4 week mark and damn it's hard to resist ha ha. But I will. Coach Lee mentions often that after 2.5 months then there's nothing to lose. Either we reignite the process, or we get closure. Either way, it's better than limbo. I'll wait till then if she hasn't reached out first.

@@ezekielv2479 Wait more, for sure. As for me, it didn't go well in that no coming back together. But I did get partial closure. It's just weird as she is set in her decision, yet obviously still has feelings for me. She won't see me physically as she basically fears I can "charm her back". Hence the partial closure. Still, it's much better than being in limbo and not knowing.

[@Danimal77]

I actually replied to your rebound relationship video and have now watched this one. I see a running theme throughout your videos. You preach to end things off with your ex in a very calm, peaceful and confident manner, which increases your chances of them reconsidering or at least doubting there decision down the line, but, for those of us who stuck around a little too long after the breakup, when we were no longer welcome or wanted, where does that leave us in terms of future reconciliation? If we did make the breakup not a pleasant experience for them, how does one go about repairing that?

[@RealCoachLee]

Dan, thanks for your comment. What I usually suggest in that type of situation, though I don't know all of your details, is to find a way to contact them. Maybe it's writing a letter. And apologize for how you handled the breakup. Tell them that you respect their decision and wish them the best going forward. Sign it and go into NC. Because of the situation, you are very limited since you said she is in a committed relationship. She might show it to him, it might cause drama, etc. But little is truly without risk. A letter or email of that nature can be a small reset and, if you keep your word, can rebuild your image in the mind of your ex. Then, if the relationship she is currently in fails, you that hurdle no longer exists to getting back together with you. Again, I wish you the best and I'm very sorry that you are in this situation. I know it hurts.

[@ch1bob]

My situation is similar it ended with me pleading when she was ending it and apologizing to me saying it wasnt her intentjon to hurt me but shes with somoene else now, not interested anymore in me and that it would be last time we spoke. I did more pleading 2 days later with a 2 page written letter saying it seemed impossible to forget her, that i would probably always love her and lots of pleading not begging tho...which made her furious to the point that she even blocked me (was unblocked 40 days later tho before her bday). I basically never accepted the breakup in theory nor did i apologize for how i handled the breakup ( but did for my mistakes during our time) and im already at almost 2 months NC.. so i feel like its too late to apologize like u say right? Also feels like chances of her contacting me are zero.. im a noob thinking letters, flowers, feelings and words would touch her heart but i forgot this generation is dead inside. They prefer to rebound quickly instead of repairing

No contact rule doesn't always work, if the ex is tempted by dating sites, or influenced by family members to maintain no contact.

[@RealCoachLee]

You're right in that it's not a guarantee because you're dealing with people and not math problems. But chasing them after they've dumped you certainly doesn't work. Forcing yourself back into their life when they've asked you to leave it doesn't work. That doesn't mean that at some point you can't reach out but giving them that initial time and space is extremely important. When someone breaks up with you, you need to let them experience the breakup so they can see the negatives and hopefully come back to you. If the relationship wasn't good or they aren't that attached to you in the first place, the odds are less strong that no contact will work. But I've seen it work so many times in such powerful ways that can't be ignored.

[@airindiana]

I read on magnet of success that dumpers stages post break almost run in reverse to the dumpees and the genuine regret occurs, if it occurs, way down the road after they’ve passed neutrality where they see the good sides. Two months is just not enough time. I think 3 months in my ex is only just getting into the swing of being single. I suspect She knows she can click and have me back. It’ll take a while for her to doubt how I still feel I think. Also re nothing to lose I think you do have a lot to lose as it can hurt and set you back if they have moved on or God forbid met someone else when you contact them.

[@mariachiingles2348]

Agree, 2 months is not nearly enough. And you do have something to lose. You could go backwards in your recovery process, feel bad for breaking no contact, and potentially worse: you could end up back in a relationship with them, only for things to unfold in a similar way months down the line, wasting even more time and effort on this person.

Yes, if that is what he truly is.

It's an incredible learning experience that I just can't say enough about. It focuses on saving a relationship from a breakup/separation and then keeping it after. It includes a coaching call each month for 6 months. You can talk to Coach Lee's team about it. I think the person for this is named Johnny and you can make an appointment with him to talk about it at myexbackcoach.com/relationship-reignite. I think you'll agree that it's an incredibly eye-opening and immensely helpful experience for you.

I adore my ex boyfriend. That is why I haven’t broken no contact until last night. My ex hasn’t heard a peep out of me for 45 days. It’s a long story but his mental illness is part of why he might be afraid to contact me. Part of me feels I have nothing to lose at this point. So I sent a small message on Instagram. And that was it it was short and sweet just to let him know that I am not going to bite his head off if he is to get in contact with me. As I am not angry at all whatsoever at this point. The distance helped me realize certain things about our relationship that I was partially blind to at the time. In that time, I journaled a lot. Actually I still am. It will help me to communicate my feelings to him when/if we speak again. Otherwise I am taking care of my home, myself, getting therapy, my grown children need attention too. Also there are other prospects that I’ve ignored through the time that I was with my ex. However I still have very strong feelings for him that I am working through.

Mon she text me Apologized for not showing her Love & making it more clearer. That evening I text her told her we had something special, I loved her & we needed to work it out. No Response. Monday is my Birthday, I don't expect a text. Next week she will visit family for Thanksgiving so she probably won't even think of me. One thing in my favor her Mom told her "He's a Keeper!'

I was almost about to go on another date and said look we get back together or I'm going on a date next week... And he's like maybe we will have a chance in the future. I'm not ready... I said there won't be a chance. And we got back together that day. We met up a couple times and it became very clear that we hated being apart. He did sleep with someone 3 weeks after we broke up and definitely regretted it. This doesn't come up for us at all but these things happen. All and all we had a extremely close friendship we just lacked effective communication between one another during heated arguments. We didn't listen as well as we could have and we judged far too much. We don't really fight anymore. And learnt that if we disagree it's best to try and understand the other person an make compromises and to catch ourselves when we are displaying any sort of pride.

All this just sucks so badly. Im in day 20 of NC and the breakup was 3 months ago. Together 6 years. All i want is for things to go back to how they were without the issues we had. Its so hard to miss someone so much and know its possible they dont miss you at all. When i imagine breaking NC, i really dont even know what my goal would be. I dont want to get rejected if I asked to meet up, and id even be too afraid to ask him for us to play a PC game together like we used to. He told me a few days after the breakup if i ever "tried anything" (like trying to get us back together) he would just block me. He claimed he wanted to be friends and was happy i still wanted to keep in touch but of course thats what they all say. He did reply to me the 2 times i broke NC to have a texting conversation but he didnt seem very interested in talking to me. But then again i dont want to live a life just having a casual texting conversation with him every couple months if he will even answer. I suppose once ive been in NC a bit longer ill be more confident once the time comes. and if he does reject doing something more intimate with me than just texting Ill be strong enough to deal with it. Ill be able to move forward and say hey at least i tried. I did 3 months NC and he still refused to even talk on a headset with me while we played a game together. And if he refuses that he would definitely refuse a meetup. So that just shows I did all i could possibly do. And if he doesnt block me but just refuses my offer then ill leave him alone for good.

Hey coach, I love your videos. I think they are very helpful. My boyfriend broke up with me at the end of may, after being in a relationship together for 4,5 years. It was brutal. He had been feeling something was 'off' for months, didn't discuss this with me because he didn't want something to be off for himself. Came to the conclusion that it had nothing to do with me at all. It was completely 'his problem'. Didn't feel enthusiastic about being in the relationship anymore, didn't look forward to meeting each other like he used to. Felt like I was like home to him, which is an amazing compliment, but he kept thinking: is that it? Is that enough? He felt like he SHOULD feel more enthusiasm, felt guilty towards me constantly because I was enthusiastic still. He was so upset. Torn apart. Knew what he would give up losing me. An amazing bonde, I was his best friend, his favorite person in the world, his lover... In times when he was depressed and isolated himself from the world, I was the only one who was there for him all the time. It was the hardest decision for him to make ever. Said "Maybe in a year I wake up and realize this is the biggest mistake I made in life", but he couldn't continue being with me just based on this fear. He would get unhappy. He felt like he was too young to be in a steady relationship like this (we are 24). ...I am so confused. He still loves me a LOT. He was still crazy about me too, but felt like our roads had to seperate so. ...We've been doing no contact on purpose 4 weeks after the break up, I contacted him shortly 3 weeks after because I wanted to know if he missed me. Said he did of course, it was hard, but that time apart made him realize it was for the better for him. Then after 4 weeks we came together, I picked up my stuff at his house and returned his. We were still in love... After that day I messaged him some things until he said I needed to let go of this.. Or I would make it harder for the both of us.. I replied that I understood, thanked him for replying, said I didn't intend to keep sending him messages, that I would leave him alone. And it's what I have been doing for nearly +4 weeks now.. No contact. Do you think this is the right thing to do? We are still friends on Facebook... He can still see my pictures when I post them. But that's about it...

[@RealCoachLee]

Steph, you are still doing the right thing. Think about it, you told him you'd leave him alone and not contact him. If you break your word, you aren't looking honest, strong, or attractive. And it gives him no incentive to reach out to you because he knows that you'll just reach out to him at some point anyway (which deeply hurts attraction). So stay backed off. Let him lose the ability to expect you to reach out to him. Watch this video all the way to the end: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aKfCaoiKrtWZedU&lc=Ugw-vSZhpo2H4O_z5-x4AaABAg

[@STEPHHenzo]

Thank you so much for answering! I have watched the video and will most likely watch it repeatedly. I really do hope that at some point he will reach out, considering he is everything but impulsive and will probably aside of everything, have a giant feeling of guilt towards me for breaking up.. Lol....

[@sunnychonnawat7018]

Steph any updates?

[@JohnDoe-ol8vz]

Coach, during 40th day of NC, If I found out that my ex is sick for last 2-3 weeks and going on therapy, what to do in this case? Break NC? Contact some of her friends? I'm worried about her...

If he is arab never ever make no contact more than 30 days he will be married and you are waiting him to come back after 6 months

[@ranagad6817]

Coach Lee, thank you so much for your videos, your work helped me a lot through a really hard time.. My fiancé of 2.5 years broke up with me because his mother was against the relationship. She tortured us for more than a year and both of us went through hell trying to work things out but he's just a family guy and he is really attached to his family. 2 months ago he was home after months of working abroad and asked to meet up, he was crying and he told me he can't do that anymore. We broke up and i went straight to no contact.. He has been working abroad for the last year so it was kind of LDR recently. He keeps watching my instgram stories, he even replies to them with hearts and etc. And he asks our mutual friends about me and asking them to tell me that he's devastated but nothing more. Should i just move on?

[@karenzhang1020]

Rana Gad Stick to it. If you love each other, make it work. I would fight for it if I were you.

[@harjiharpreet1524]

[@youngML6]

It's been 5 days and my anxiety is extremely high.... I'm gonna need help with this

[@HannahSnickers]

I realized I forgot my aligners at his house. (Where I lived too). We broke up Saturday. And he reached out Monday and Tuesday. Yesterday was our only No contact day, my dog ate my aligners set I was using and the others are in his linen closet. I’m very tempted to break no contact to get those back but it’s such bad timing…. I might just let my teeth shift and restart treatment after I get into my own place (or move back home 😅) I wish you could see this and easily respond lol

[@ezekielv2479]

I would break it because your teeth are important. But after that, go complete NC

[@xcoachkim]

Yeah if you need something important from their place you can organise to go pick them up. Just keep it neutral and casual and brief. I have aligners myself and I would never let an ex stand in the way of getting nice teeth :D But I know how tough it is. I don't know if you are aware, but Coach Lee has a live workshop called "Relationship Reignite." It's an incredible learning experience that I just can't say enough about. It focuses on saving a relationship from a breakup/separation and then keeping it after. It includes a coaching call each month for 6 months. You can talk to Coach Lee's team about it. I think the person for this is named Johnny and you can make an appointment with him to talk about it at myexbackcoach.com/relationship-reignite. I think you'll agree that it's an incredibly eye-opening and immensely helpful experience for you.

[@Ash-co5hl]

It’s been a year since the breakup, he admits it’s because of other people in his life. No contact since it happened. What do you think coach lee?

[@jannlewandowski5540]

Ash2000, I believe it's over. Move on, and enjoy yourself. Take care!

[@Benonimous]

She broke up with me through the phone. This will be the 3rd time she breaks it off. I went over to her house to reestablish our communication. She then proceeded to block me. Told me she doesn't love me anymore. This will be 17 days no contact one of the weekends she ran into my mom. My mother said that we both deserve people that will make us happy to her. I don't know if that restarted no contact, I wasn't there. My mom did comment that she knew it was over and that she did like her.

[@hanaayres5950]

Been in NC for 2 weeks now, he has reached out to me but hasn't told me he's missing me at all, its more a friendly 'hope you are well and having fun' sort of thing. I have replied but kept it short as i think he is just trying to friendzone me, or relieve his guilt if he knows im doing ok. Im so confused what to do :-(

[@MsxTrinity6]

Well my ex did break up with me on march 12th but by around the 1st of April to the 6th of doing no contact and ignoring him, he was desperate to get me back. We did get back together but it only lasted a week so what do you suggest I do differently next time if he contacts me again? Should I ignore him for longer, like a couple months until he really does feel separation anxiety? I mean I know the reason why he dumped me and it was because he didn't see a future with me. We were together for 3 years.

[@RealCoachLee]

Hi MsxTrinity6, it's possible that you were over-pursuing him or that you two didn't spend enough time apart. If you had a lot of negative interactions (arguments for example) that can do it as well. There's a lot of factors that I'd need to speak with you about to get an idea of what it probably is. But in this case, going back into no contact is likely the thing to do.

If they broke Up with me and after a week of no contact they’ve liked and hearted several of my social media posts over that time, is that “reaching out?” How do I interpret this. I’m afraid the next two weeks will give her time to get with someone else…

[@Steven-gg1bn]

So instead of directly reaching out, what do you think about just liking a few of their photos on social media? My ex broke up with me for the second time and I told them that if they changed their mind I wouldn’t take them back. I believed that at the time but now I really do want them back and I’m terrified that they took what I said seriously. I’m thinking about waiting at least a month, maybe two and just liking a few pics of theirs (like 3-4) to get their attention. Just so they know I’m still thinking about them. What do you think?

Could it be a case where they're waiting for you to message them first? Even though they ended it

[@RealCoachLee]

Could be. But just because they want that doesn’t mean you should give it to them. All it does is give them relief. You want them concerned that they’re losing you. Don’t turn into their dancing monkey by trying to figure out what they want and giving it to them. She needs to do without at the moment. She needs to feel the loss.

What if its been 5 months since he broke up with me after a 6 year on/off relationship and we have a 4 year old? He told me to move on? Will he ever want me back?

[@RealCoachLee]

The advantage you have is that having children with him keeps you in his life (and him in yours) almost permanently. Go into no contact except for matters relating to the children. Be kind and polite but casual and short. That's all you can do.

Don't, it shows that you think about them heavily. By not greeting her, she will think. Did he forget? Did he move on already? They will be paranoid and think about you

[@TheHawaiigurl20]

I’ve been doing NC for a month and a half and only responding when my ex texts me but last night the unexpected happened and I bumped into him, for the first time when I was out at the bar and I said “what are you doing here?” but in a flirty nice tone, and walked away before he could even answer. And now I feel horrible and am thinking I should reach out and say sorry if I came off rude the other night it was good to see you. Thoughts? I don’t want him to think I’m bitter by not staying and conversing but at the same time I knew that if I did start talking to him I’d probably never leave and try to go home with him so that’s why I reacted the way I did 😔

Hi there, maybe you can help me. We were a bit more than 2 months together and she was very intense with me. I have never seen such an intensity in a beautiful woman like her. She talked about marrying, living together, could go along with my daughter and even helped me with the garden.
