    No contact is ideal, but if you just aren't in an environment where you can do that, at least go for limited contact. The more space you have, the better. But if you just can't help but interact with them because you go to school together or you work at the same place, just minimize the amount of time you spend talking to them.

    If you feel your own sense of wellbeing improving and you're starting to feel a sense of closure, it's working. If you aren't feeling that right now, it's okay. Just give it time.

    I don't know if it's possible to say something is always going to work when it comes to a process as like recovering from heartbreak, but no contact is certainly one of the more reliable options here.

    Come on, surely you deserve better. Don't let him play you like a fiddle. He shouldn't play with your emotions if he's unsure about his. He wants to come and go as he pleases and are you OK with that? I think it's called control you and you are his get out of jail card if anything goes wrong with his new girlfriend.

    At this point, no one knows. With no contact, you'll have no opportunity to try to change her mind, so it will be up to her. It's possible she's just toxic and is trying to hurt you. Go ahead and try it and see how it goes.

  • Question
    He called me after 3 months to say he is sorry if he ever hurt me. But he didn't say he wanted to be together again. What does this mean?

    It likely means he's a good guy. He probably doesn't want to date you again if he cut contact for three months, but he is checking to see that you're doing OK.

  • Question
    Does no contact make him realize that he wants you?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    It's hard to predict. That definitely could happen, but he also might decide he's better off without you. (That might hurt, but it's better to find it out now than later.)

    Give him a 'chance. Test him and see if it's real. Do what you think is best. If you really want to talk to him, go for it!
