    My ex boyfriend and I have not spoken to each other in about 6 months. He started seeing someone seruously after we broke up. During this time I sold my house and started renting a place temporarily down the street from where I used to live. Recently, i have been seeing him drive by. I wasnt sure he knew where I am currently living but it was confirmed one day while I was outside with my kids playing. He specifically turned down the street after seeing us and practically stopped to watch us so I waved. He waved back. I have seen him a few times after that incident. My question is why is he doing this. He was the one who broke up with me and preceeded to tell me he and his new gf have a no ex contact rule.
    Thanks.

    Thanks. But then why stay with his girlfriend? Maybe he is waiting to see if I break the NC rule first?

    Do you really want to get back with him. If I understand it seems like he may be playing with your emotions. What was the reason for the break up?

    He didnt really say other than he wants to date other people. We didnt fight. And we were kind of on again off again until he met this other girl who he is now serious with or at least thats what he is portraying.

    When we started dating he was separated. His divorce was finalized during toward the end of our first year. He broke up with me but then we were on and off. Then he met thia girl and totally cut it off with me.

    We also have mutual friends and one of his best friends drops me a line once in awhile. I never bring my ex up and i keep it to small talk without detail.
    I am looking for another house so when i do i will be moving from that location

    I have tried dating but its hard as a single mom and working full time. Not to mention everyone i have dated i dont get the wow factor.

    I would like to be friends with my ex bf and see where it goes.

    What happened in your situation

    I had my on thread but Ill copy and Paste:

    I wanted to discuss when I should get the rest of my items from my ex’s house. Should I set up a time when she is not there to grab my TV and other large items or wait? Also, we are breaking up for mutual reason, more so I feel like she needs to finish her divorce process before continuing a relationship with me. We dated for over a year now and shit hit the ceiling when old man came back into town and things got real and hard for her (Military). In my heart I truly love her and believe I should continue with the 30 day no contact rule.what do you guys think I should do. If u need me to explain in more detail I can do that as well. The thing is she let me keep the keys.

    I also found out last night that they had she had set up a road trip to GA for veterans weekend. He asked and she said it was ok. She also said they would be sleeping in separate beds. I understand that they are still in the process of getting a divorce he was a cheater but feel like that was a slap in the face when she told me that. She is only 23 (im 26) and know she is in a difficult spot in her life. So we thought it was best to give each other space and take a step back.

    Yes and no i guess. It still hurts to see him driving past and not stopping to say hello. I dont like to think about him with another girl either. And until i find someone who will sweep me off my feet, the hurt will be there. But do I sit an wait around? No. If someone asks me out i go.
    Time has helped.
    How long ago zsince you and your girlfriend broke up?
    As for the no contact rule. I have done it since May. Only now has my ex bf been “checking up” on me. Or maybe he was before that and I didnt know. I just want to say to him grow a pair of balls and call me. But i think he is waiting for me to contact him.
    Not sure what i should do. Was thinking of sending him a Christmas card.

    I think you should contact him. I think we were officially broke last night ,but we were in a state of limbo this week. Funny thing is that she wants me to keep the keys?

    Sorry…Thought i posted a reply to you Jon but i dont see it.

    As for the keys…i was in a similar situation with my ex bf while we were in that back and forth mode. I finally asked for them back. In your case, it sounds like she needs time to think and this is her assurance that you will be there. I would stick to the nc rule.

    As for me..you think I should contact him after he broke up with me and basically told me we cant talk because he and his new girl have a no contact with exes? Which i dont get because he is divorced with kids so he has to contaxt his ex wife. If I did contact him it would be after i saw him drive past and he saw me. Not really sure. I did see someone has been loomi g at my linkedin profile anonymously from time to time. I think it might be him.
    Still not sure what to make of all the drive bys and who keeps viewing my profile.

    Thanks.

    So do I break this no contact thing or wait him out? I believe he is waiting for me to make the first move this way he abides by his rule between him and his gf. Or am I reading way too much into this and its time to keep going and not look back.
