    Hi All,

    Having met with my exes mum last night and saying that i hadnt heard from him in over a month.. (29 days – but i didnt tell her i was counting), she said she knows he’s been very keen on damage limitation when it comes to hurting me, which is why she thinks he hasnt contacted me. I know this is a good thing, because it means he’s a great guy, and he really is. But i don’t know what that means for my chances of him coming back?

    If you want more background, my story is here:

    24 days into NC and can’t get my head around it

    What does everyone think this means for me?

    Well he definitely cares about you if he’s doing everything he possibly can to not hurt you…

    I have a good feeling about you two to be honest, I get the feeling that he’s gonna come around eventually.

    It is definitely a good thing. Give him more time.

    Could you guys tell me what you think I should do next? I don’t think theres a chance anymore and it’s so sad cause a month after we broke up I could really see he wanted us to get back and since then I think I didn’t do the best things to get back and he has been getting further and further from me… Please tell me what to do I’m so depresses today… https://ebpforums.com/boards/topic/he-says-he-would-like-to-get-back-but/

    So do you think i just shouldn’t text him? Despite having finished my 30 days and having some stuff to give back to him? Do you think i need to give him more time? I’m so confused! I’ll take a look for you @kaila ..

    Thanks @annakis i hope he does and it doesn’t take too long!

    @pineappleblue did he initiate contact with you during that 30 days ? Have you felt anything wrong before he wanted to break up with you ? You guys have 6 years and he cant just let it go just like that…maybe he got scared of the thought having a future with you after you decided about buying a house together ?

    @malinda sorry for the late response, I have only just seen the reply on this post 🙂
    No I haven’t heard anything from him in 31 days! He was a bit funny for a couple of weekends but he told me it was stress at work and he was a bit fed up and I believed him! As iv mentioned in other posts, we were still close, still sleeping together (as late as 16/17 hours before the breakup 🙁 ) and still goofing around and making each other laugh like normal! That’s been the foundation of our relationship really, we make each other laugh and we just work! We were (or I and others thought) we were pretty darn close to perfect! This is why it is so hard to believe that he says he doesn’t find me attractive anymore and the feelings have gone, coz it sure didn’t feel like it!
    One of my close friends thinks he’s said these things to try and make me hate him, so that i don’t make it difficult for him! If his goal is damage limitation and he genuinely meant those things surely he wouldn’t have told me? Sure as hell one way to knock a girls confidence!
    Sorry for the essay x
