Hi Sarah,
Please do not contact your ex. I am in a very similar situation, but it has been 9 months since my man has dumped me. It’s been that long, because I kept continually convincing myself that I could win him back. My ex suggested this 30 day no contact thing months ago, and I thought he was crazy. Be never mentioned where he got the idea from, and I couldn’t imagine being away from the person I lived with for 30 days. My point is, even if he is doing the NC period, he still needs time to forget the bad memories and start remembering the good stuff about your relationship. I’m afraid that if you contact him now, you will end up where I’m at now – A constant back n forth struggle where he’s hot and cold, but he’s not able to recommit because he’s still holding onto the bad memories. I like you had been going through a rough patch and had not been able to be 100% myself and treat him right. Look, even if you contact him and y’all get together or even have sex, it doesn’t mean he’ll stick around. I went through the same thing with my ex, and look at me. 9 months later I’m alone, devastated, have struggled with suicide, and without intending to I came across beedy and desperate. Wait the 30 days. It’s what’s best for both of you to be able to mentally rekindle the love and happiness you once shared.
